  • Umm, I think you need to put the KY before taking the pic. I don't think you are only smoking tonight ;))
  • Oh my, I am dying,over here! =))
  • Oh snap! Wow it's been a long day didn't even notice that in the pic!!

    And yes I'm up and smoking, but just getting mine started....getting a pork shoulder ready to put on. Late night (east coast) as morning comes early as I'm on baby duty at the crack of dawn. Well worth it though!
  • As far as the maverick goes, It would have said me 3 racks of ribs and 1/3 a bottle of DD if I had believed it today! I just tested both thermos food and pit, both exactly 212 in water.

  • Lol, glad I could be worth a couple of laughs tonight! Just took the brisket off FTC it at 205 internal. Looks smells and taste amazing!!!!!! I'll post some well planned pics tomorrow when we slice it for lunch. I saved a container of juice to use for reheating the meat.


    The maverick works amazing. I have zero complaints. Just wish I'd paid more attention when ordering and got the 732 this is just 73 but it does all I need it and think it was 30$. Would buy another tomorrow if needed to. It's rock solid on temp and just woke me up to tell me the meat was at 202.

    Greatest. Picture. Ever... At least at this forum...

    Looks like quite the evening for yourself... You've got your KY, your meat is smoking, and the remote is near by for a little Skinimax...

    This reminds me of Chef from South Park... I can almost hear the Barry White in the background as he "cooks" something up in his kitchen.

    All in good fun @MrCookingNurse... a good lesson for all of us that take pics of our proudest achievements on our Eggs

     

    he is a hero among us...  things that took place at CookingNurses's home last night at some point in time?

    he's doing a long smoke

    he's playing video games

    he's watching TV

    he's rolling over and waking his wife up? LOL

    good stuff here!

    Thanks. Have done ordered it already. :) As they say, the spending never ends....

    The KY blooper is priceless though, I gotta say.

    Kept the juice. Heated it up kinda like a au jus (spelling?) and poured it over the sliced brisket in oven to let it heat up.

  • The original picture I have to agree is the best picture I have ever seen on this forum. I laughed pretty hard at that one.

    Best ever. I busted out when I saw it. Being a human being is a funny business sometimes. Could have easlily been me. Thanks for the laugh MCN- You are a good sport Brisket looks good too. And not to make this thread serious, because it's too good, but next time separate the layer of fat in the middle and slice both parts against the grain. What you have here is the point end of the brisket where the grain runs 2 ways on either side of that middle layer. Brisket is stringy when slived with the grain so separate them and slace against the grain on each. now.....back to the KY jokes...man, this is a slippery slope :)

  • I beleive there has been a clear misunderstanding here. When we say we like to be well lubricated before starting the egg, we are talking about cocktails. I'm sure it's a very common mistatke. oh well, Potato/Patawto I guess.

    RN, not pickin on ya man...

    It almost appears that the KY was perfectly "showcased" in that picture. Its not like you could overlook it.

    Man must be very proud of his work.

    So I see your title plays directly to your first pic. =)) Your post is fantastic btw.
  • Just showed this thread to my hubby he loved it!
  • Wow, any chance of a serious nod to brisket cooking has left this thread long ago.

    Bark is fine and all but no one likes a dry butt.
