    Lunch over, firebox cleaned out and loaded to the top of the fire ring, thermos calibratted, and got the canvas trimmed and the first coat on. Shooting to be completely done by noon tomorrow. Shooting for 225-250 and estimate somewhere in the neighborhood of 16 hours. Gonna start the fire around 4 and looked to get it on somewhere between 6 and 8. Any last minute thoughts/advice/suggestions?

    Four adults, a 14 yo and a 3 and 1/2 yo, with a fair amout of leftovers. I'm thinking chili Maybe burnt ends. We'll see. . She started just shy of 14lb untrimmed so probably 12.5 pre-cook.

    Home-run right there.  You are now captured by the brisket vortex and your Q life will be forever changed.  Most eggcellent!

    The flat makes great sandwiches. Chop it up, mix with some sauce, and enjoy! Looks good.
