gboudx,
do you add a rub of brown sugar on the brisket before smoking it ? I do and get great results. Seems to add a good accompanying flavor to the spice rub and apple cider vinegar.
Got some chicken parts on the cooker right now, because it's difficult for me to make enough carnitas to go around, and I didn't want any undue bloodshed around the dinner table this evening. That would put a damper on the football, you know? (I just ordered ~70 lbs of lump charcoal online, and was GLAD TO DO IT. I figured this thread would appreciate something like that.) Anyhow, if there's enough fuel left in the cooker to hit 500F or so, the plan is to put queso fresco, some (smoked) Hatch chiles, and the carnitas into some quesdillas. If there's enough lump in there to pull it off after smoking the chx parts, I'll definitely take some pictures!

The "fatties" came out awesome.. Everyone loved them.. I did 3 total..
One was Maple Jimmy Dean sausage with mozzarella and chopped banana pepper and Anaheim chili pepper and rolled in John Henry's East Texas rub.. It was excellent.. Very good sweet taste..
The next was regular Jimmy Dean with cream cheese and chopped jalapeno, also rolled in rub and excellent..
The final was a regular Jimmy Dean just rolled in rub and it came out good but was the least eaten..

RCS, I've tried different rubs and most of them call for brown sugar. The last one I did was heavy on the paprika, and I was impressed with the flavor.
I'm starting to think that you could just put salt and pepper as long as you smoke it right.
A fattie is a breakfast roll sausage thats wrapped in plastic with the metal ring on each end. Big slick recommended smoking one so I tried it.. Came out great...
After the first half last night, I grilled up some ribeyes. Just a little salt n pepper. They were perfect. I was using my dad's gas grill, which has a nice flat plate for searing and what have you, so I threw on some seasoned and oiled asparagus. If it weren't for the fact that I had already eaten enough for 2 days prior to the game, this would have all been awesome.
