Whew, that's a heckuva recipe Mike, and 14 hours of nursing the wood chips but it is DELICIOUS. I cheat and get smoked briskets from a new place, the BBQ Shack, that opened on Midway Blvd in Oak Harbor. They smoke 'em overnight and it's as good as Kansas City BBQ. I bet yours would give 'em a run for the money.

I keep it easier cuz I'm lazy, like Sloppy Joe's :

2 lbs ground beef
1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage tube
1 onion diced
1 green pepper diced
3 sticks celery, diced
One-half Tb ground garlic
8oz BBQ sauce
4oz Ketchup

-Fry ground beef and sausage well done. Pour off grease.
-Saute diced onion, bell pepper, celery.
-Add garlic and other spices to taste (Optional Italian seasoning, etc)
-Simmer all together for 2 minutes, stirring.
-Add BBQ sauce and ketchup, simmer 5 minutes.
-Eat

Usta' make own BBQ sauce, but it cost nearly $25 a gallon so stopped. Took all day too.

Referral points? Where are those? Are there demerits too?
