My last brisket was a fail in my book.
This one was 19# and respectively 17# trimmed. Nice and floppy with great marbeling. A Big thanks to my friend Brian @fusionhq on the Brisket location hookup.
Running with RW & Oak Chunks. Rub S&P. Pit set at 235℉.
It barely fit on the grid. I almost had to resort to the ole foil wrapped brick trick.
Good morning eggheads. It's coming right along. Shooting for serving time of around 1 pm for serving. Will start probing for buttuh at about 195℉ on this one.

Where are the graphs? What's with this fake graph porn? Geez ... by-the-by your batteries are a little low. And, would you at least move the Rockwood bags around once in a while ... the teddy bears inside the bags will develop flat spots in the fur otherwise.

@Jeepster47 These are new bags. I'm back to about 160# of RW.
Graph. Only incorrect data was I meant to click the food on and pit lit at the same time.

So what kind of lump is best?

Solid Blake. I should there by kickoff. <:-PSlumming it in Aiken, SC.

Whatever you like best. I like RW, WGWW and I'm certain OO is great. They each burn pretty clean. And then I just add whatever wood I want for smoke when smoke is desirable.UrbanForestTurnings said:So what kind of lump is best?

@johnkitchens I didn't get stupid and inject it with Woodchuck hard cider. So, I think I'll be okay.

I inject brisket with E&J brandy, give it try, it isn't too late.

Love the data stream ... it looks cool. The pit temp swings are much larger than I would have expected in the beginning ... does the stoker relearn the characteristics of the egg each time it's used? Looks like it took about three hours before it zeroed in to the 235 target temp.
BTW, I'm jealous. My teeny tiny brisket made it through evening snacks, one sandwich for lunch and batch of brisket chili ... then it was gone.

Looking awesome Blake enjoy your day and the meal that follows.I raise my kids, cook and golf. When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.Inbetween Iowa and Colorado, not close to anything remotely entertaining outside of football season.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -

@Jeepster47 No the fluctuations you see at the beginning were before I attached the blower and was just dialing it in. I should've waited to start the logging but, I was tired and needed to get the brisky on to try to make my self imposed deadline. Or Son has to work so I wanted to be done early enough that he can enjoy it too.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

@blind99 Since it's just 4 of us I'll likely freeze a good bit of this. The point will be sliced.
@JohnInCarolina Thanks. I've been looking forward to it all week.

Good call on the point-but I knew that>- Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Nailed it - nice job Blake. Enjoy the eating and the game.

look how juicy that thing is. Need your brisket hook-up. I go to tillmans off old st Augustine rd and their prices a really good. Brisket at Publix is a rip off.
Good Job!
