Finishing a 120

[Bombtech]

I just use oak since it doesn't get to smoke the bottom of the fish i believe its fine to use a little stronger wood to get the smoke taste.

This is how I do it;

Smoked Fish Dip
Begin with a simple brine about 2 quarts of cold water, 1/4 cup salt, 1/2 cup brown sugar, mix until completely dissolved.
Add as much fish as you want to use, this much brine will cover about 3 – 3.5 lbs. of fish in a large mixing bowl. Place a quart size bag of ice on top of the fish to hold it down in the brine, place in fridge for about 3 hours.
Rinse with cold water and pat dry, either use foil pan or foil with a Bradley rack above it. And put it in the smoker at 225*, I use oak wood allow the fish to get to 145* remove and let rest for 30 minutes in cooler.
I chop the fish up so that it will mix well, without making it too fine; try to save as much of the texture as you can.
2 ½ – Cups of smoked fish
¼ - pound cream cheese (room temp)
¼ - cup Greek peppers / Pepperoncini peppers (minced)
½ - tsp paprika
1/4 – tsp Cayenne pepper
5 oz – Trinidad Habanero pepper sauce (mild)
¼ - cup real mayonnaise
Upon serving on Ritz crackers, just because we all know everything is better on a Ritz.
I add a few drops of Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce, to mine and whoever else is a bit more on the wild side.

Thanks brother

Losing my brisket cherry this morning. Fat side down because Myron said to. 13 lbs trimmed “full packer”. My own rub. Burning oak and hickory.

Still figuring where the heat is in places throughout the pit. I have 2 analog therms. 1 at each end. I have a digital therm and probe bottom shelf and a Smoke probe top shelf next to meat roughly in the center. That is 4 therms in a 120 gallon tank. They read 50 degrees apart across the pit. Not really happy with that.

Pit still smells like that nasty swineapple bacon. Im worried the flavor is stuck in there. I pray the hickory smoke is what the brisket is getting, not pineapple bacon (still the nastiest thing I ever cooked).

Im adding 3 racks of babies and 2 beercan chix later this morning.

Merry Christmas.
