I was supposed to go golfing last Sunday so the plan was to put a small brisket flat on the egg on Saturday. Had a friend ask me at 9pm on Friday to play Sautrday too. The wife was cool with it (as usual) and said she could handle the brisket. So i gave her the guidlines. It was about a 4 to 4 1/2 lb flat that was trimmed and did not have much fat left.

First props for not minding me playing golf 2 days in a row.

 

And bigger props

SHE NAILED IT!!!

    Good thing she didn't go golfing with you as she would have probably been sub par all game!

    Whatever you do, do not tell her "I told you the egg is foolproof, even you can cook with it." She did a great job - she might just send you out golfing every weekend.

    How'd she end up cooking this, by the way? I' pretty jealous it looks so juicy compared to my leather patty I had yesterday.

    Now that is about the best post here in a very long while-if you have your choice between lucky and good take lucky every time.  Dang-when you get SWMBO on the same page you are golden!  No envy here :)

    We change this a little. The drip pan has the leftover injection along with apple juice and any beef stock that was left in the carton.We like to have the pan about 1/2 full. We dont spray with apple juice either. Sat foiled in a cooler for about an hour. Does sacrifice the bark but the meat is juicy and tender.

    And by the way she did a nice hunk of bottom round today and made baltimore pit beef. And we know good pit beef since we are from Balitmore. Chaps has nothing on us. She nailed that too. At least she gives me some credit and says she has a good coach. She may just be trying to make me feel good.

     

    And yes, i was out golfing.

    The kind words are well-deserved.  I suspect many of us are wondering if we can send our SWMBOs to visit for some classes in "Egghead Support".
