I decided to knock the dust off the smoker and put on a brisket for the holidays. After watching TLC's BBQ Pitmasters, I thought I would try a power brisket like Myron Mixon cooks. I fired the FEC100 up to 350° and rubbed the brisket with Butt Lover's Divine Bovine Rub. It took about 4.5 hours for the brisket to get to temperature and I pulled it and let it rest for a few hours. The results were pretty good and I can see moving to this type of cooking for catering and even competition in the future.

Q Balls
If I feel the need for more pig in my diet, I substitute half of the ground beef for pork sausage!

Kim's Grilled Pound Cake with Jalapeno Salsa and Tequila Creme

3/4 cup heavy (whipping) cream
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon tequila (preferably gold)
8 slices pound cake (each 1/2 inch thick)
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Tequila Creme
Place the cream in a chilled mixer bowl or in a large metal bowl. Beat with a mixer until soft peaks form, starting on the slow speed and gradually increasing the speed to high. The total beating time will be 6 to 8 minutes. When soft peaks have formed, add the confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, and tequila. Continue beating the cream until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes longer. Don't overbeat the cream or it will start to turn to butter. The tequila whipped cream can be made several hours ahead. Refrigerate it, covered, until ready to serve. 2. Lightly brush each slice of pound cake with butter on both sides. Cook the pound cake, following the instructions below for any of the grills, until lightly toasted. If desired, rotate each slice a quarter turn after 1 minute to create a handsome crosshatch of grill marks. You may need to cook the pound cake slices in more than one batch. 3. Place the pound cake slices on plates. Top each serving with a spoonful of Pineapple "Salsa" and a dollop of tequila whipped cream, garnish with a sprig of mint, and serve at once.
Pineapple "salsa"
2 cups fresh pineapple cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 tablespoons thinly slivered fresh mint or lemon verbena
1 to 2 jalapeño peppers (preferably red), seeded and minced (for a hotter "salsa," leave the seeds in)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or more to taste
1 tablespoon light brown sugar, or more to taste PreparationPlace the pineapple, mint, jalapeño(s), lime juice, and brown sugar in a nonreactive mixing bowl, but don't mix them until 5 minutes before you are ready to serve. Taste for seasoning, adding more lime juice and/or brown sugar as necessary.
