Thought I would toss out an alertment so that everyone has time to find, thaw or give the cow a practice run.  Above all, have fun.  Always remember-the friggin cow drives the cook. Here's to finding the proverbial "feels like buttah" outcome.
Edit: I will have to celebrate in early June due to scheduling conflicts (not of my doing).

    Bump as today is the day.
    I will be unable to participate/celebrate until later as I was not consulted regarding scheduling over the top of today.

    I can’t believe brisket has to share the day with hamburger. Sad times we live in.

    Agree, no equity in that.

    What are your proteins?

    Yeah, having the national day of something that takes 10+ hours to cook on a weekday just doesn't seem right.

    @lkapigian - She's a beauty.  Good for your guests with the Texas Twinkies as I'm sure they don't appreciate the surgical skills required to create them.

    @Money_Hillbilly - great cooks right there.  Which rig got the call?

    @lousubcap I used the Shirley. I am getting very comfortable with fire management and smoke profiles by using the stack damper and curing my own wood.  The Shirley’s built me a new V basket and it put temps on cruise control.  It used to take me 12+ hours to knock out a brisket or pork butt on the egg or my big gravity unit.  This cook took a little over 8 hours.  One of my buddies argued with me that it was impossible to cook so much faster at the same temp.  I told him I didn’t believe it either until I proved it. Convection ovens cook 25% faster than a standard oven and reverse flow cookers are much faster also.

    Speaking of brisket, for my birthday, my awesome staff got me a brisket from SRF!! It’s still in the freezer but I’ll be as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs when I smoke that dude!!!

    @wps456 - just cook as you would any other brisket.  The quality of the cut will be revealed when you enjoy it.
