I do like shrimp and I have never tried octapus but I just can't seem to get it passed my eyes. I am sure there is a lot of good stuff I am missing but being blind is not something I strive forSouthern Indiana

Quick question brother. You said that you use and recommend a iPhone 5. That being said I took your advice and I'm glad that I did as I have really enjoyed it to date. Also I presume that many people on this forum use a iPhone. My question is if most of us are using iPhones why are your pictures so superior to ours? Just curious what you do different. Thanks in advance.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

Morning update...
Walk out to this on my deck
@johnmitchell
Few more hours and she should be good. Thermapened a few spots and the flat is in the 185-193 range. Not very tender yet; but this was a stiff and not very floppy brisket from the outset.
Still looks like brisket with my eggs at some point this morning.

No problem... It dropped a few ticks over night but nothing drastic. I used the ash tool and banged on the underside of the grate from the lower vent door and that should do it...johnmitchell said:Thanks for the set up...That Brisket looks Killer !!!!EnjoyMSV Chill Spot

The best advice I can give is shoot, then shoot some more... find a few photo editing apps and play with them and your images. You will begin to develop your own style based on the look you like... There are plenty of "rules" dealing with composition, exposure, etc. While they are good to practice starting out to help develop your "eye", they are really more of a suggestion once you get going.
I don't know that my images are any more superior to anyone else here; as there are some really good shooters that happened to be eggheads as well; for example @cazzy @nolaegghead @mickey @henapple (depending on the number of PBRs)
Keep shooting and you'll be surprised how quickly you'll start to get a feel for it and you should begin to notice how all of your images seem to have a similar look to them

I trimmed so much fat off, I kinda folded the point end under itself to get it to fit...
I am about to execute the exact same cook. Temp and size-wise. I am interested in your cook times and how you trimmed it.
Did you trim the fat between the point and flat? If so, how much? I have a prime brisket so I think I am going to have a lot of intramuscular fat and don't need a lot on top. Plus, why did you fold the point and not the flat? I was going to use a rib rack but am intrigued by your choice.
Really appreciate the detail and the pics. -
Also, you don't put anything in your drip pan, right?

@Beaumonty
I trimmed the hell out of it LOL... Took most of the fat cap off and just about all of the fat in between the flat and point, almost till they separated. I rubbed it with a 50/50 mix of sea salt and pepper, and put it on a stable 250F dome with several oak chunks mixed through the lump (did this when I set the egg up). Nothing in the drip pan, I almost never out anything in, don't think it adds anything.
Cook to temp and feel always before time, especially with briskets. This one took about 12 hours, but I pulled it off when the flat felt tender and my Thermapen was sliding in and out like butter. The temp on the flat was about 214...
Here is a pic of it in the foil pan before I covered it and set it in the cool oven to rest. The point and flat separated when I pulled it off... The top right pic is the point and the bottom right pic is the flat. Just a couple of little slices before I tucked it away for a few hours...
Now it's time to get the chicken, veggies, and octopi ready for cooking later

On the bandwagon! Not with bourbon, just a cup of coffee. Put on a Restaurant Depot angus briskie, lit the Egg at 4:15 am and put the briskie on at 5:15 am at 260 dome. Went back to bed with you know who for a while (you smell like smoke!). We're cruising along now, dome is holding steady without control at 268F and briskie IT is now 144F. See ya at the finish line!

The first three things I learned: 1. Hold or make the camera steady (real steady) 2. Do not polk the shutter, just touch it (see rule number one). 3. Get close.. And most of all (so much easier with digital) shoot lots of pictures and toss bad ones before anyone sees them.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers. -
