      Rudy’s bbq chain in Texas is delicious.
      Went to Rudys last night - College kid home for the weekend wanted it.

      Before you read I am generally a fan (I rated it A- in this thread) but this was awful.

      Ordered-
      Brisket- no more cutters choice sad that was always a bit medium between dry and wet.  So instead I got Burnt Endish and super fatty.  Meh.
      (2) Pork Ribs- Awful- mushy like oatmeal.
      Link of Hot (Jalapeno) Sausage- They buy this from elsewhere but it was good.

      Others got
      Pork Loin- dry
      Turkey- perfect
      Chopped Beef- this is how they fixed the above brisket issue.  Will just settle for this in future visits.
      XLBGE, LBGE, Charbroil Gas Grill, Weber Q2000, Old Weber Kettle, Rectec RT-B380, Yeti 65, Yeti Hopper 20, RTIC 20, RTIC 20 Soft Side - Too many drinkware vessels to mention.

      Not quite in Austin, TX City Limits
      Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting.  The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president.

      Because it is a good opinion and does not belong in this thread, or because it really is a horrible opinion and belongs in this thread?

      When cooking brisket on the Big Green Egg, in order to cook it optimally it is important to block the rising heat really really well - on multiple levels - so that no heat rises onto the meat.  The heat has to go up the sides of the egg around the meat to the dome.  This makes the dome air hotter than the air below the brisket.  Once this is accomplished, you can cook the brisket with the FAT SIDE UP - the way it is meant to be cooked.
      By  “on multiple levels” you mean:

      1) the ceramic indirect heat deflector - ConvEGGtor

      2) a Water pan?

      3) ?

      Gary shows up with a strong entry into the most unpopular opinion thread.  We’ll see how many disagrees he gets.
      You make a great point.  The best replies here would have the most “disagrees”. :-) !

      @Sweet100s, Yes to the ceramic heat deflector.  Yes to a pan or foil fashioned to fit the space.  Sometimes I stop there.  When I only need to cook on one level (no more than 3 racks of ribs or 1 brisket) I add another layer of foil.  I posted pics of my setup on Page 5 of this thread - so I won't make everybody look at them again.

      When cooked properly, the meat of the flat of a brisket tastes better than the point.  If it doesn't, you didn't cook it right.

      just catching up on this thread. @foghorn i think your comments are spot on - unpopular but cold hard truth.  i need to fire up a brisky one of these days and remind myself how mediocre of a cook i am after all these years :)

      @Foghorn what about doing a indirect smoke by putting all your heat over on one side. The XXL should be big enough.
