Smoked Brisket

Smoking a brisket is classic BBQ but it doesn't have to be a difficult thing to do. Follow these simple steps and you will be smoking a great brisket in no time.

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 6 to 8 hours (At 250 degrees about 1 to 1.25 hours per pound)
(resting time is an additional 1 to 2 hours)

RUB
All-Purpose Rub

OR

Weber Rub

4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Ingredients:
1 brisket (flat cut), 5 to 6 pounds, untrimmed

Directions:
1. In a small bowl mix the rub ingredients.

2. Lay the brisket, fat side up, on a large cutting board. Trim the layer of fat to a ¼ inch thickness. Turn the brisket over and trim any hard fat or thin membrane covering the meat. Season the brisket evenly with the rub. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

3. 30 to 60 minutes before smoking remove the brisket from the refrigerator and place it fat side up, in a disposable drip pan large enough to hold it.

4. Place the pan on the cooking grate. Smoke the brisket until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 160 °F (71 °C), 4 to 5 hours. At that point remove the brisket and pan from the smoker (close the lid to maintain the heat). Baste the brisket with some of the juices and fat collected in the pan. Then wrap the brisket in 2 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Discard the pan.

5. Return the brisket to the smoker and cook until the internal temperature of the brisket reaches 205°F in the thickest section, about 2 to 3 hours longer.

6. Remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest inside the foil at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours. It will stay hot.

7. Carefully unwrap the brisket, being careful not to lose any of the juices inside the foil. Move the brisket to a large cutting board. Pour the juices into a small bowl.

8. Cut the brisket in 1/8-inch slices across the grain. Spoon or brush some of juices over the slices. Serve warm with barbecue sauce on the side.

The Hollow Earth: The Greatest Geographical Discovery in History Made by Admiral Richard E. Byrd in the Mysterious Land Beyond the Poles - The True Origin of the Flying Saucers   Widely read and reprinted many times, Raymond Bernard’s book is considered by many to be the definitive treatise on the "Hollow Earth" theory. The book purports that the Earth has a hollow and habitable interior, with a small sun in place of a molten core, and is inhabited by a race of “Superhumans” who are the descendants of the exiled residents of the long lost continents of Atlantis and Lemuria. Bernard claimed that the true North and South poles had not yet been discovered, and that in their place are concave openings to the inner Earth. Bernard quotes several diary entries and radio announcements by polar explorer Admiral Richard E. Byrd as being definitive proof for his theory that travel to the Earth’s interior was possible. Bernard claims that Byrd’s 1947 and 1956 expeditions took him “bey

  In case you are wondering why there is so much " Fake News " coming out of the Mainstream Media over the last few years: The (2012) National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) legalized the use of propaganda on the US public. On January 2, 2013 Barack Obama signed and enacted into “law” HR 4310 , also known as Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, which was part of the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) . A large majority of concerned Americans were focused on the  indefinite detention of US Citizens without trial clause contained in the NDAA , and missed HR 4310 which received little to no attention.

The Time Bill Clinton Threatened Peter Jennings "You Don't Want To Go There Peter!"

  An extremely pissed and paranoid-sounding Bill Clinton threatened ABC News anchorman Peter Jennings in this interview from November 2004 Bill Clinton sat down with ABC News anchor Peter Jennings in November 2004, almost four years after leaving the office. When Peter Jennings asked him about his low ranking by a group of Presidential historians for his “moral leadership,” Bill Clinton seethed in his response. Clinton could barely contain himself when Jennings told him he cared about the low rating more than he was willing to admit. He seemed to be threatening Jennings as he responded “You don’t want to go here, Peter. You don’t want to go here. Not after what you people did. And the way you – your network – what you did with Kenneth Starr. The way your people repeated every little sleazy thing he leaked. No one has any idea of what that’s like.” One thing to ponder for conspiracy theorists. Peter Jennings announced that he was suffering from lung cancer on April 5th, 2005 . This inte
