SRF Black Brisket, on the Egg last night at midnight. The pan is 18x13 - she was almost 16lbs before trimming.
She's holding steady now at 250, despite the fact that my gasket is almost completely destroyed. Firmly in the stall now.

Nice John. Is this a rub or your own concoction? This won't suck.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

Given the speed with which I have had recent briskets run, you may be closer to the finish-line than you think. Regardless, great eats await. Looking good right there.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.

You are correct there sir. These don't hang out in the stall very long.lousubcap said:Given the speed with which I have had recent briskets run, you may be closer to the finish-line than you think. Regardless, great eats await. Looking good right there.
Our party today is mid-afternoon, and I'm expecting a hold in the cooler of a couple of hours. Should be about right."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike -

When did they start coming in those fancy mesh bags?
-
The bags have been in use at least since the end of April (if I've got my order history right). Definitely makes it easier to handle.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.

There isn't any left - it did not last long. Sorry I didn't get shots of the end result. I sliced it, went to slice the ribs, and the brisket was gone. All 16 lbs (or whatever's left after 3 lbs of fat rendered out).
I did get a few plated shots of the ribs though - did I mention we did ribs today too?

Yup, that timing is about right, though it will vary depending on the specific size of brisket you purchased. Also, the gold briskets are moving to being in gold bags. Did it for a couple of reasons:DoubleEgger said:When did they start coming in those fancy mesh bags?
1. As mentioned, to make them easier to handle (with a handle)
2. Just to make them look cool
3. The primary reason: we were having issues with the brisket cryovacs tearing while in transit (thanks UPS). The mesh bags provide some "give" so other items in the cooler could rub against the brisket, but the mesh allowed it to move around and not tear. We also increased the thickness of the cryovac.
Cook looks awesome...it's always a good sign when it's gone before you get any plated pics -
Noted on the bag, @SRFShane The last brisket I had the cryo was torn somewhere. Thawed it out and thankfully had it in the bag it shipped in and it leek we'd all over the place when i got around to it. Happened near the top seal cause the point was oxidized like a mofo.
Those things almost most need strapped down in the cooler !-FATC1TY

Yup. I had a cryo bag with a hole in it and I had to throw a Black away because of it. (Ever seen a grown man cry?) Glad to see you guys working to protect your product.SRFShane said:
