Directions

Special equipment:

a smoker; a pressure cooker; an offset smoker; butcher paper

Prepare a smoker for cooking at 300 degrees F. If you don't have a smoker, an oven may be used.
Rinse potato thoroughly and wrap in aluminum foil. Place in smoker and smoke for 3 hours. Roll potato on the counter to soften. Open and remove foil, then cut a slit down the center of the potato. Layer with butter, salt, pepper, cheese, sour cream, chives, Beans and Brisket and top with Jalapeno Toreado.

Beans:

Yield: 3 quarts

Saute bacon and onions in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown; set aside. Place the beans, chili powder, salt, pepper and 2 1/2 quarts water to a small pressure cooker. Add the cooked bacon and onions. Pressure cook according to manufacturer's specifications, 2 hours.

Brisket:

Yield: 1 brisket

Preheat an offset smoker to 250 degrees F.
Trim brisket. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Cook in smoker until the meat is "floppy" and cooked to 200 degrees F all the way through, 10 to 18 hours. Wrap brisket in butcher paper and continue cooking in the smoker until the internal temperature rises above 200 degrees F, 2 to 6 hours more. Remove from smoker. Let brisket rest for 1 hour. Slice and chop the meat.

Jalapenos Toreados:

Yield: 10 jalapenos

Brown jalapenos in a cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat until soft, about 10 minutes. Remove to a bowl. Add soy sauce, lime juice and onions to a separate bowl. Toss jalapenos in marinade and refrigerate overnight.
