Don’t forget to save the tallow for your/your wife’s face!

I forgot about the dishwasher. How often are you "tending the fire?".

I set up a repeating timer for 25 minutes.  Over the years I’ve found that works quite well.

Are you running relatively "hot" to shorten up the cook time?

I’m not.  It’s set to average around 250F.

The KBQ cooks large hunks of protein faster than any other device I’ve seen.  It’s surely due to the design and how it circulates the smoke.  It’s very unusual that I need much more than seven hours for a standard-sized brisket (typically 14 lbs or so).  I do wrap but with butcher paper not foil.

Thanks for the info as I figured every 25 minutes for a double digit hour cook is a pain.

I don’t find it to be all that painful.  I just put a few more logs on every 25, then go back to doing whatever I was doing just prior.

Mostly what it means is that I can’t leave the house for much longer than it takes to give the boy a quick walk outside.
