A little briskey

MrCookingNurse

well... This is a long story. Short story: we butcher our own cows, last butcher ruined the brisket, thawed this thinking it was a flat, well it was just a tip of flat and point and had a lot of hard fat on it. I trimmed the snot out of it. Even thought off rolling it up and tying it like some kind of roast. We shall see.

250 cherry wood and FOGO lump

MrCookingNurse

Mmmm FOGO is the stuff!!!! Boot is a 13

If I'd taken a pre trim picture it would have been the ugliest tri tip you'd ever seen

I'd find a new ranch butcher.

But it will be tasty. 

MrCookingNurse

Feeling good. The XL is solid. Holding right over 200 with no assist. 

MrCookingNurse

@theyolksonyou @cazzy how should I slice?? Burnt ends? I was thinking just chopped and pulled. 

@bud812 don't worry. We're done with the fella just because of location but this was a big disappointment considering the price and the steaks graded Low prime. Could have been a beautiful brisket.

The grain is pretty clear on that cut.  Just go against it.  I'd prolly go diagonal as opposed to just really long slices.  Fan it out.

MrCookingNurse

Cool. 

I'm  at 145ish. Still at 200 dome. I bumped up the temp going to get to 300 by the stall and wrap it

You have a size 13 boot??  If it is true what they say...that explains the KY Jelly.   

MrCookingNurse

Just broke out the Mavericks. It's been a long long time since I've used them!



Grate temps coming up, just had the egg open. 

MrCookingNurse

A little snack in bed while I wait

MrCookingNurse

That worked well 

MrCookingNurse

Fell asleep... Got up at midnight and it was 203, felt good, not butter but good. FTO'd it for an hour then to fridge. Will be supper tonight. Looks ok. I'm sure it'll be tasty even if jt ain't pretty.
