Starting a brisket tomorrow morning at 0400 if the beer doesn't get the best of me.  It's my first attempt at a low and slow so we'll see what happens.  Wish me luck!

    I bet it turns out great. Low and slow leaves more room for error, in
    my opinion. Cant wait to see the finish. Good luck!!!

    I haven't popped mine yet on a brisket cause good ones are hard to find here in CA.  Pork butts are great way to practice on the L&S.  Keep them pics coming and I'm sure it'll be irresistible.

    Good luck on your brisket, I'm sure it will be fine.  I will start one tomorrow also, but I probably won't be up at 4 AM.

    Just curious, is that for lunch, or is it gigantic?

    Au contraire mon ami.  I have found very decent brisket at Restaurant Depot. But if you want to pay for the best (and get great customer service in the bargain) I suggest you check out a San Francisco area company named Flannery Beef http://www.flannerybeef.com/

    Great selection of meats, fast delivery and prices aren't out of line with other online purveyors.

    As a matter of fact we're having a variety of their "specialty" burgers (you can specify just about any blend of their meats in any proportion you choose) and a few growlers of Russian River craft brews on Sunday....

    It's definitely not gigantic.  I think it was only about 12lbs before I trimmed it.  Since I have no feel for a low and slow I figured I would start it extra early just in case.  I am open for suggestions though, as long as its done by 4 PM or so I will be happy.

    Good luck. If you haven't started, put some more lump in your egg. Fill to the top of the fire ring.

     I can't wait to see if you make the 0400 wake up, AND the finished brisket. I will not be making my 0600 trip to the coast after last night's beer fest.

    My 4 AM goal may have been slightly overly ambitious.  8:30 will have to do.

    Good luck ... looks good. 

    You pic shows the lump up to the top of the fire bowl.  For a long low-n-slow that might not be enough, so do keep an eye on the available lump later on in the cook.
