What's for dinner tonight ?

Was meal prep day. My favorite burger grind is the flat of a brisket mixed with chuck. All Thrifties triple A. Ground up 20 lbs of that and rolled a crap load of burger portions. Chopped up a whole center cut pork loin into thick chops and dry brined the point end of the brisket to let sit overnight before it went in the smoker this morning.

Smoked for 5 hrs at 250f until it had a nice bark then basted her, wrapped her up and back in for another 5.5 hrs.

I don't usually let my brisket go this high of internal temp but thought I'd let her go a bit longer this time. Gotta say it was the best one I've done yet. But the Thrifties AAA im sure had a lot to do with that. Pulled it at 211f. Just on the line where anymore it wouldn't have held together for cutting but it was the juiciest most tender brisket I've made so far.

Took a video of how juicy tender it was but I don't think I can load that onto here. To be safe though I will pull the next one at 210f. Normally I pull at 203 or so.

This was a breaking fast meal for me today too. Ended a 5 day fast and ate about a pound and a half of it lol.

5 day fast?
Too many tasty desserts ?
 
Went shopping on Friday and picked up some dinner refreshments to go along with our BBQs.

Beer is way cheaper in Hawaii than back home and they ship it here from the mainland.
Not as good as beer at home but refreshing at the right price.

Now I have to hope, I can remember to get the BBQ mahi mahi photos.

30 pack US beer $32 Canadian.
12 pack Sapporo $18 Canadian

My go to down in the islands is Kona Brewing Longboard Lager. Not the same as cactus calls their longboard which I think is parallel 49. You can't find Longboard Lager in BC, only the golden ale or ipa.

Time to cash in some points and get back down to kohala stat!
 

That Brazilian Picanha steak looks great and I will have to try to find some and try it. It looks tasty​

Sorry about the dinner thread turning into Beer.

Longboard or Bikini blond are both great beers, but I only drink it at the Shore fire grill at happy hour because all beers are $5us and it's reg price is $9.50us Both beers have gone up a lot here in Waikiki and they are on sale at Safeway for $25us ($32C) for 12 cans, but I passed and got the 30 Coors for $33c

Beer is cheaper at Costco but I shop $5 Fridays at Safeway. Over the years I have found I get better quality and lower prices at Safeway on Fridays only. Last year all the beef we purchased at Costco in Hawaii was not that tender or flavorful.

I don't shop Safeway in Canada, I shop Costco or Thrifty and both have way better meat than here.
