The pork belly rib was smokey, delicious and full of flavour - in fact, it’s probably ruined all other versions of ribs for me now. The brisket pulled apart, as if made of cake like those viral posts we all saw last summer, and once again presented the flavour from the smoker - that is in-house - and unlike any other bit of brisket I’ve had before. The sides were, in all honesty, unnecessary for two people as we were full already, as I have to mention that this was in-fact lunch.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp dir\u003d\"ltr\" style\u003d\"line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: georgia;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp dir\u003d\"ltr\" style\u003d\"line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: georgia;\"\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: georgia;\"\u003e\u003ca href\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1ZExd82NEko/YIgeXiiQ1pI/AAAAAAAANaE/kXoXWHBw3vIf_ZCuD3N0HMJUnGS21gxbwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Brisket%2Bsliced.jpeg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt\u003d\"Beef brisket at Smokestak\" border\u003d\"0\" data-original-height\u003d\"1365\" data-original-width\u003d\"2048\" height\u003d\"426\" src\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1ZExd82NEko/YIgeXiiQ1pI/AAAAAAAANaE/kXoXWHBw3vIf_ZCuD3N0HMJUnGS21gxbwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/Brisket%2Bsliced.jpeg\" title\u003d\"Beef brisket at Smokestak\" width\u003d\"640\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: georgia;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp dir\u003d\"ltr\" style\u003d\"line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: arial; font-size: medium;\"\u003eDespite the temptation of dessert, I could barely do up my trousers at this point so opted for more wine, in a very on-brand move.
