in Beef
I picked up a 17 lb corned packer brisket from RD, soaked in water for 10 hours changing water once rubbed with cracked pepper, coriander, onion and garlic powder brown sugar and paprika. Got the egg ready at 2am Thursday with mesquite and the flame boss set at 225 the egg crept up to 275 by 7 am when i got a text from flame boss saying my temp has been high for quite a while and to try closing the top vent which was open about 1/4 inch, I closed it to about 1/16 and the temp dropped back down to 225 lesson learned. The brisket probed tender around 4 pm Friday with temps around 190-195 wrapped in foil on the counter till 7 and sliced. Turned out perfect!

    Good looking cook!  I have one in water currently, did yours taste like you expected? 

    I keep my top vent open the thickness of a dime, fwiw.

    It did, not too salty. I have only used the FB a couple times and a dime sounds about right. Thanks.

    Great cook. Home made pastrami is killer.

    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
