The egg wins again

travisstrick

I won first place brisket and third place ribs. My friend Jon won second place brisket. He got his egg at salado and it was his first brisket ever. He's never even seen one made.

There was quite a bit of grumbling about the eggs and my maverick and thermapen. The guys with $10k rigs didn't like my full night of sleep either.

I used a 14.6 lb select brisket. Rubbed with bills season all. Nothing but rub and smoke.

hapster

Well deserved. Congrats. You should have taken the tops off the trophies and given them to the sore losers..,

NecessaryIndulg

Congratulations! =D>

Congrats, but...

...it sure looks like you sliced it with the grain of the meat.  

:-??

Nice! That's really cool.

You are the brisket Coach :ar! Which is better: dry cook or your wet cook?

travisstrick

No turbo. I cooked at 280 grid.

I'm not sure about with the grain or not. I never figured that out but it doesn't seem to matter. Maybe I've been doing it right.

The dry is better if done right. The wet method is more forgiving. All things being equal, I pick traditional style.

Hear hear. Congrats to you and your buddy!

I think they need to change that trophy from an offset to and EGG! Congratulations!!

Would have loved to hear them whining about the egg.

Little Steven

Using an egg is like.....cheating

Congratulations. Over the years, lots of Egging competitors have laughed because they sleep the night thru.  But if the other competitors (aka, loosers)  don't use a fast read thermometer, why are they even bothering?

Great job Travis! Way to represent bro!

Hi54putty

There needs to be an Egg on top of those trophies next year.
