First step in making up a large batch of Smoked Brisket Chili starts today.  A nice fat 14lb wagyu brisket on the Egg that will be chopped up for Saturday's chili for 26.  More pics to follow.

    Every year, a great tradition.  There are gonna be 26 very happy consumers on Saturday.  Better to be lucky than good any day.  
    And that is one great looking brisket.

    F**k Yeah!!!!  :plus_one:

    If it were me, though, I'd save that Wagyu for slicing and use the Costco stuff for the chili.  :wink:

    @ccoffey you have stumbled into the right place, but be prepared for information overload!  first thing to consider is if you're doing a whole packer brisket or just a flat.  For a lot of us, a whole packer is what we consider cooking a brisket.


    Check out some of the threads here, and definitely watch the Aaron Franklin videos.  Essentially you're trimming, seasoning, and cooking indirect at low to moderate temperatures with your smoking wood of choice until it's done.  I'm not a big fan of overnight cooks so I usually run 275ish.
