You couldn't resist could you?! Good news. I'm at 222 dome 217 grate with internal at 156 at the 10th hour.
-
alright boys. Headed out to dinner for a few hours. Good luck and let me know how they all turn out! I'll check back in laterKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

11th hour and everything is the same as before. Enjoy your dinner Cen-Tex.

Internal temp has dropped to 154.

Well... it was all good, but not great... I'm not sure what I did wrong with burnt ends... perhaps cooked them a bit too long (only 2-2.5 hours though) They may of been better before doing them, were definately better in the middle of the cook sampled, but were still pretty good none the less...Flat was so-so... had a fairly nice texture, nice pull to it, but was a bit dry... Beans were good for just throwing it together like that...Pics to enjoy...Whole wheat bread... which was quite good...Amount of charcoal left (stirred to remove some of ash and pushed to side for picture) after ~18-19 hours on the XL...

I'm sure it was mighty tasty nonetheless. Looks impressive.
I'm at the 14th hour internal is at 154 and grill is 221. -
I'm starting to think I might be exactly on target for a morning finish.

Yeah, I never totally understood the burnt ends thing. The point is by far the most ethereal cut of BBQ when cooked right. I know people swear by burnt ends, but I love brisket point right off the pit.Flat was so-so... had a fairly nice texture, nice pull to it, but was a bit dry... Beans were good for just throwing it together like that...Pics to enjoy...Whole wheat bread... which was quite good...Amount of charcoal left (stirred to remove some of ash and pushed to side for picture) after ~18-19 hours on the XL...Flats are so hard to get right. Like I said- I hoard the point and give the flat to the kids. Especially the thinner parts of the flat. Brisket is a finicky little mistress and it takes a lot of cooks like this to get it right consistently. Don't give up.Sooooo....Take your flat, chop it up, mix in a great sauce and make sandwiches. They will be awesome and everyone will tell you how awesome your brisket is. That's the secret to flats that tun out "so-so".Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

Actually had an awesome chicken fried rib-eye in McKinney at Rick's chophouse. The chef is on that BBQ pit masters show...god I have a problem.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
In Fredericksburg. Can't remember the restaurant but I can search if you're really interested.
-
Yes MQ you're right but between soaking up sunshine, smoke and beer all day what else was there to do?
-
And 43 is still young even though I'm a couple years away from hitting that.
-
Woo hoo! 158! Two degree happy dance. Ok not really...

I'd love to know where... that sounds amazing... and I may have to try that out at Ricks... I've never actually been there... I saw him on the one pit masters season and well... he somewhat came across as a moron... kinda turned me off from wanting to go there, but I may go give the place a try sometime...

It's good food. especially if yo live right there. he is a bit of a tool though. He's never there so it's just normal McKinney folk cooking good food. Give it a shotKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
Cabernet Grill in Fredericksburg. They top the thing off with lobster. Of course they also have chicken fried pecan pie.
