Excellent results

First brisket turned out most excellent, thanks in no small part to the advice here! I was a little concerned about having a good fire established to last all night. But when I woke, the temp was still on a perfect 250* and smoke still coming out the vent. This only reaffirmed what a great investment this is!
After I pulled the brisket off, I brought the temp back up, grilled some veggies while I experimented with roasted corn grits. Throw in some pork and beans and we had another excellent meal thanks to the EGG!
Now, for leftovers!

Shelby,
Nice work. You have tamed the toughest cut of meat. And thrown in some great creativity with the roasted corn grits/beans.[p]Only uphill from here.
Cheers!
