Coolest thing was dropping Cazzy's name and meeting Benji and getting a your of the pits.
Lol Benji doesn't know me by my birth or forum name.
@Langner91, we stopped by at 10:30 AM on Saturday and were told we would be eating about 3 PM. It was a hot sunny day and we would have been standing most of that time out in the sun so we passed.
We came back today (Sunday) at 7:00 AM in a serious thunderstorm. It is the first time we have been but it worked out great. The rain kept it cool. We sat in chairs that we brought under the overhang for 4 hours then my wife and my son's friend walked over from the hotel a few minutes before they opened the doors at 11 AM. We had our food and were eating about 11:30. My understanding is that Saturdays are the worst and weekdays are usually lighter - unless it is Spring Break or SXSW or something like that.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

2 pounds brisket @ $20/ pound = $40.
2 pounds ribs @ 17/pound = $34.
1 pound turkey = $17.
1 chopped beef sammy = $8.
1 sausage link = $3.
1 key lime pie = $4.
1 pecan pie = $4.
Total = $110 plus tax = $118 and change.

But we probably have enough for dinner. Except my daughter is due to arrive home from college any minute now so we'll see.... She may chow through all the leftovers on arrival and then say hello to the rest of us.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

Considering my locally owned bbq joint wants 15 bucks a pound for brisket (and it's damn good if I don't have time to cook) and the Famous Dave's want's 17.49 per pound for it, I didn't think the prices were out of line at all.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 pic of the pits shows one of the guys there seasoning the pit with brisket grease. Since they are not open tomorrow (Monday) they clean the pits and season them every Sunday.
The brisket we ate this morning was trimmed 2 days ago. It was rubbed at 06:30 yesterday morning. It was put on the pit about 10:30 yesterday morning and taken off about 3 AM. It was then one of 80-100 briskets (depending on the size of the briskets) put on a rack in the smoker room (wrapped in the butcher paper that it was put in during the cook) for a few hours to slowly cool before being put in a warmer where it was held until it was sliced before our eyes. It jiggled like jello when the guy dropped it on the counter.
There are 6 people who take turns manning the pits for the 150+ hours each week that they are running.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

I'm watching "Best BBQ Ever" on The Food Channel. They just had on Franklin's and highlighted their Tipsey Texan brisket and sausage sandwich. It looked GOOD!LBGE (still waitin' for my free T-Shirt), DIgiQ DX2 (In Blue, cause it's the fastest), Heavy Duty Kick Ash Basket, Mc Farland, WI.

@Langner91 (and others), this was a really good morning. Do it if you get the chance. Sitting 4 hours under an overhang was actually quite relaxing. My son and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I think I convinced a guy from California that was in line with us to buy an egg...
As the summer gets hotter, this will have less appeal. By 9 AM Texas gets really hot - even in the shade.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

No. "Just" a chopped beef sandwich with slaw, onions, and pickles. It was outstanding.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

So...compared to the back to back brisket hits you and your friend had, how do you rank that brisket to what y'all had from Franklin today?Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -
with as much as you pay for that plate, you would think they could provide more than just sliced white bread.

Micklethwait Craft Meats, which is also in Austin does take it step further and bakes all their bread. They serve thick cut white bread.

It was definitely better than any brisket I've ever cooked. My grading scale for myself will change based on this. I've called any brisket with good flavor and a moist flat a "10". Today I saw moist taken to another level. So, I am adjusting down one point from here forward.
I'm also going to try to find some butcher paper...XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle
