My first "meat" cook on the egg was a brisket and it came out EGGCELLENT! Our son said it was as good if not better than City Barbeque (a local BBG chain), and you could actually see my head start to swell :laugh: . The brisket is on the left and it was 9.76 lbs. so I got a foodsaver (at a good price of $83.01 at Sams) to vac the leftovers................there were no leftovers :huh: . Let the pics begin:

All I can say is the EGG held its temp like a rock, a couple times I chased the temp buy a few degrees but in the end it was unneeded. I started with 10 lbs. of Wal-mart flavored Royal Oak and after a high temp burn the next day to remove a layer of fat stuck to the grill I ended up with about a third or more of what I started with on a 16 hour burn. This EGG ROCKS!! :woohoo:[/img]

You're one up on me as I haven't had the intestinal fortitude to try a brisket yet. Wife picked a flat the other day when she was in another town so its on the short list of upcoming cooks.
Yours looks yummie!aka marysvilleksegghead

I just kept the temp at 250 dome for 16 hours to reach a 190 internal temp of the meat, wrapped in foil twice then wrapped with towels and put in cooler for 4-5 hours (still hot when removed). You will like the results!

GOOD EATS AND GOOD FRIENDS

Wow that looks great! I think brisket is one of the harder meats to cook. Great job!
