edited August 2016 in EGG Table Forum


I am cooking for my annual fantasy football draft party and my brother's house warming party. I bought a 17lb gold grade waygu brisket from Snake River Farms, 32lbs boneless pork shoulders and 24 lbs of pork belly. Going to fire up the egg at 9:00 pm tonight and will probably pull the last shoulder and belly off around 12:00-1:00 pm on Saturday. I hardly ever post photos of my cooks but I have not seen many posts of SRF waygu brisket and wanted to start a thread. Here are the prep photos and I will post the cook and the final product this weekend.

    Are you cooking everything at the same time on the Egg?

    Tried the embedded link; came up with "

    Looking forward to the pics and info-enjoy.  Hopefully you won the league last year to off-set some of the $$$.  ;)

  • Good idea using the trimmings from the brisket.  What are you injecting in the shoulders?

    Looking good!  Great idea on foiling the entire counter for a prep area. 


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I second this...I had not thought of using the trimmings in that manner.  Does anyone else here do that?  I wonder what the net impact to the cook would be.  Would it penetrate and flavor or would it just roll off into the drip pan below?

    Try it again. I posted it early and it didn't work but I fixed it. It should work now. If not I will post them all individually

    I bought an expensive highly concentrated apple juice from the store. I injected the brisket with beef broth

    I am not sure what impact it will have. It killed me to spend $210 on a brisket and throw away all of the fat I trimmed. I am going to use some to baste, I am going to use some to add to the flat and I am going to freeze the rest and use on roasted potatoes  or au jus for prime rib. The renderings are so damn rich and flavorful, I will be able to use them for something.

    That'll be a great feast! Great ideas for using the trim and freezing the renderings; there's nothing better than roasted taters basted with drippings.
