Summer means getting outside. I love summer so much I hate to come indoors. Even cooking takes on a different atmosphere.
I discovered the joy of grilling a few years ago. Yes, I’m a late bloomer when it comes to firing up the grill. I give the Chefs at Certified Angus Beef® full credit for inspiring me to give it a go.
If you grill, you totally get what I mean. First steak sizzling on the grill and I was all in!
Since then I’ve grilled many steaks, burgers, chicken, kebabs, veggies and fruit. Grilling adds a layer of flavor that you control. Marinades and rubs enhance meat and add to the char. So good!
Another way is to add a bit of wood to the fire. Gentle smoke adds subtle flavor to meats. Different kinds of wood give off different tastes. Popular varieties are hickory, mesquite, applewood and cherry.
I found I liked the taste of smoked meats. I was ready for the next step. I bought a portable smoker.

Here’s a video from Certified Angus Beef® brand that explains the process.
Here’s why you remove the bone before smoking brisket.
Smoked brisket is the ultimate smoked beef. You can slice it for sandwiches or shred it for barbecue.
Of course it also makes a great salad.
