For the cheese sauce: benton's bacon fat, flour, heavy cream, chipotle colby jack cheese, a little bit of beer, cream fatalii and cream fatalii x red spicy cross. Tortilla chips too.

How to cook: Short ribs: onion sliced 1/2 inch, brush with oil then sprinkle salt pepper and powder then grill. Short ribs sprinkled with with just pepper powder. Grilled the onions and the short ribs for 5mins. layered the smoker as follows: applewood&hickory in foil, then the tray with a makeshift tray of foil. Mix 2 bottles of beer with brown sugar salt and dried thyme. Layered the onions then added the braising liquid. Put the short ribs bone side down, then wrap in foil. Closed the smoker then wrapped in foil and cooked for 1.5 hrs. Then open everything, add more charcoal and cook or another 1.5 hrs. Pulled the stuff off the bone, shredded, then reduced the braising liquid even more with the onions then blend it up for a sauce. Finally for the cheese sauce, melt the fat and cook the peppers, add the flour, then add the cream and cheese then reduce. Add beer then reduce again.

How to cook: brisket tacos: Chop up ingredients for guac then mix. Score the fat not he brisket then brisket is brined in sugar/salt brine for 3 hrs. Pat dry, rub with mixture of salt, white&black pepper & pepper powder. Stack lit coals on top of unlit coals on one side of the grill, then put soaked hickory&applewood. Put a tray of water on the other side without the coals. The brisket was only 3# so I put it in foil, fat side down. Cooked for 3 hrs. Then flipped, added more coals and cooked for 2 hrs. Let it sit for 30 mins then slice against the grain. Add onto tacos, add guac, and then the onion/braising liquid mixture.
