Lawn Ranger,
Howdy...can you or Molly tell me what the ABT's are cooking on? It looks like an additional grill grate of some sort? Wish I was going to the Texas Eggfest. Peggy

<p />Here I am getting ready to pull a brisket off the egg. The truck from BBQ Outfitters, our local sponsor is in the background.

Peggy,[p]It's a grilltop cooking grid.[p]Features: [p]Porcelain-coated, perforated grilltop cooking surface; works with any grill
Diffuses heat; keeps food away from direct flame; drains drippings easily
Ideal for smaller foods at risk of falling through conventional grill grates
Clips onto existing cooking grid to hold securely in place
Porcelain coating enables easy food release and simplifies cleanup

GrillMeister,
Just wonderin. Why do you have the brisket way down inside the drip pan? I think I need to learn some of this texas technique!

Nature Boy,[p]That was one of my first briskets before I got a second grid or a place setter. I put the drip pan on two fire bricks and layed the small brisket flat on a rack.[p]Nowadays, I use a placesetter with a drip pan under the grid. I smother the brisket with mustard, sprinkel rum all over and then follow with a light dusting of turbinado sugar before smoking at 200-225 till I get a 190 internal. Wrap in foil, towel and stick in a cooler for 30-45 minutes before sliceing real thin. That's what got me 2nd place out of 110 at my last competition. Of course the BBQ Guru allowed me to have a few beers into the night......

GrillMeister,[p]Rum, eh? Interesting. May I ask what effect this has?[p]Looking forward to tasting your 2nd place brisket, by the way. [p]TRex[p]

GrillMeister

TRex,[p]Uhhh, typo. Dohhhh.[p]I meant Rub! Use your favorite Rub. Of course you can have some rum while applying your rub or somthing like that.
