Two Briskets LBGE - Competition (sorta)
Options

Posts: 3,148
Greetings friends!
This Saturday I'm smoking TWO briskets on my LBGE for a food truck party on Sunday. I've never done two at once. They'll both be packer trimmed 15+ pounders....
Since this is for commercial sale and semi-review by the public, I'm more nervous than usual for this cook.
Best way to stack these puppies? I don't have any after-market "wooesque" racks - just bricks and grids. I'll be using a Maverick.
I'm conversationally fluent on one at a time. It's two at once that has me scared..
Thanks for any help!

Nobody ever responds to my posts unless I'm controversial. This is how I did 30 plus pounds of brisket. I'll let you know how they turn out.

Looks great. I think I am trying brisket next week. Enjoy, I am sure you will sell out.

Looking good! My lord that's a whole lotta meat!
-
Looking good. How did they turn out?
-
That looks amazing, never thought about ding it like that. How did the top one turn out? i'm wondering about that one because you have the probe in the bottom one and it's hotter at the top of the dome than at thr grate.
-
Turned out amazing. I'm shocked. I was expecting more problems.
An x/y axis for the two briskets separated by an upside down v rack on some fire bricks. There was even perfect bark where you'd think they were touching.
The top brisket did get done a little bit more than the bottom but it had much more of a fat cap on it protecting it.

Afaik we can get any of the above. We don't require a special retail license. I'm just not the food guy. It'd have to be something approved by the restaurant.
The meat either comes from US Foods or Southern Foods. I'll check today.
As long as I'm talking about the restaurant - there's a local Iron Chef style competition going on and we are in the finals. 16 teams from my area participated and Tuesday night is the final. I'm astounded at the quality of the competition. If we win our region then there is a three day state wide competition in October between the four champions. Super cool stuff!! Wish us luck!Large BGE and Medium BGE

Holy cow!!! We can post pics!!!
Nice briskets as well._______________________________________________XLBGE -
And here's what the public got to see. I'm told they sliced to order making the brisket very moist.
I'm pretty proud. I am a displaced San Antonioan who dreams of real Texas brisket from home. You can't get it here. Not even close. Hope the 5000 who showed up (updated figures out today!) have a new control against which all other brisket may be judged!! Ha!
Edit - that read pretty cocky.
