    Look at you, going fat cap down😜

    Planning on slicing and eat, or burnt ends?

    Darian,

    You win. That is a heck of a deal. I am curious (also a bit envious) how many were in the bin with it, and did you buy just one?

    Best part of the brisket, and maybe the cow. Outstanding my friend!

    I always run fat cap down on the Egg. Is that bad? No plans either way yet on the finish. It looks like a nice even mix of fat grain so I might just slice it like it was a prime flat?
    Thank you,

    Thanks.
    They had 5-6 in the bin. I was on the way to my brothers. We stopped for other supplies and I made my normal walk through the meat section. I grabbed the two best looking packs. One for me and one for my brother. My freezer is full so this one went on tonight. Bought it last weekend.
    Thank you,

    Good score!  

    I miss Randall’s.    Worked at one when I was a kid, only a handful left here now and none anywhere near me.

    Great score right there.  Better to be lucky than good any day.  
    BTW- I have never seen a bone-in brisket.   =)
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    I was trying to rile up the Fat Cap Up vs. Fat Cap Down camps =) . Just messing with ya, and stirring the pot a bit!

    How's it looking?

    He's doing it wrong - but I suspect it will still be pretty edible.

    Good results, but not great.
    little over cooked I believe.
    Checked temps at 6am and it was 175ish.
    At 10 am it was right around 200 depending on where I hit it and probing real tender. Not dry but a little to fall apart.
    Thanks for following!
