    @Cen-Tex-thanks for the brisket run-down.  When people who were sober (someone was?) give it the home-run then it's worth trying to capture.  I'm guessing you were 250*F on the cooking grate or was that dome-(won't matter much over 20 hrs though)?  Will have to adapt to the proverbial Kentucky Jelly flat and see what I get.

    I cooked Pacific Rim Flank Steak.  On the way up, the meat fell off the bike, and a mobile phone booth (automobile) ran over it.  I think that made it more tender.  

    Steak, Pacific Rim Flank

    1-2 lb. Flank steak, or flap steak

    1 cup Teriyaki Marinade

    1/2 cup Onion , chopped

    1/3 cup Honey

    1/3 cup Orange juice, fresh

    1 tablespoon Rosemary, chopped fresh

    1 tablespoon Sesame Oil, dark

    1 clove  Garlic

    Pepper  

    Directions:

    1. Combine marinade ingredients, adding pepper as desired, in small bowl. Remove and reserve 1/2 cup for basting.

    2. Lightly score both sides of beef steak in crisscross pattern with sharp knife. Place steak and remaining marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes.

    3. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 17 to 21 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally and basting with reserved 1/2 cup marinade during last 5 to 10 minutes.

    4. Carve steak across the grain into thin slices; arrange on platter. Place remaining basting marinade in small saucepan; bring to a boil. Spoon over beef, as desired. Garnish with orange slices and rosemary sprigs, if desired. 

    Notes:

    This recipe won the 1997 National Beef Cooking contest, and it uses a relatively cheap cut of meat.  It is one of Pam's favorite recipes.

    Did someone say "Kentucky Jelly"?

    I posted my recipe card copied from a word document. I guess the folks at BGE thought it was too controversial.  
    Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

    Here's a 1 week supply for VI. 
    This has been a life saver for me.  Before I got my first 55 gallon drum of Passion, I was like the pathetic Nolaegghead and demented Cen-Tex. ..... insecure, ashamed of my physical appearance, and embarrassed about my, uh, LONGgevity (so to speak).  Passion has changed all that.  Now, I walk with pride... cocky, so to speak, and totally confident in my Eggfest "performances".

    @Cen-Tex: That brisket was the bomb diggity!! The new standard against which my briskets will be measured. I blinked and it was gone - luckily I blinked *after* I got some.

    Nola's special cocktail recipe:

    1) Pour out half a can of coke zero
    2) Fill can to brimming with Evan Williams Black
    3) lift can to mouth and ingest
    4) Repeat until fully baked (about 50 times if preparing for an small elephant.....or Nola)

    I must say it did look lovely. I'll have to try it soon.


    I don't know about wasteful... the creek was looking a little low.

    But I think it took too much time. Revised recipe:
    1) Pour out half a can of coke zero  Take one Nola
    2) Fill can to brimming with Evan Williams Black
    3) lift can to mouth and ingest
    4) Repeat until fully baked (about 50 times if preparing for an small elephant.....or Nola)

    I wonder how many lies Pinocchio would need to tell to achieve the lengths of success that VI has?

    VI vociferous virility was the vanguard of Salado. He displayed panties as his Vespa streamers to show the victorious conquest that was his "performance" at the Eggfest.

    estimated 230-250 dome until I got home and stabilized it. I would have cooked it hotter but I was gone all day at a concert and didn't want it to be done too soon. I didn't see it for 14 hours and I don't use a stoker or digi q or anything to keep track of it when I'm gone. I did it manually by calling my 17 year old from the concert and yelling "what's the temp (dome)" ? and then the phone would cut off for an hour because of the extra 300k people in Austin for SXSW. I would then get a call back saying "under 250"! but that was an hour old by the time I got it and couldn't get a call back out. So I had 4 more beers then got a call out to tell him to open the draft door an inch or so and leave it alone. That all took about 3-4 hours so I have no idea what it was doing during that time.  It was definitely slower than my normal cooks and I was using the dome temp so I'm guessing 250 dome............that settles it.........what I'm really saying is

    Wait wait. CT at SXSW while 17 year old stays home watching the cook?

    Me: coolest guy ever.

    all true, but I would have taken him in a second. Our venue was 21 and up with no exceptions so I couldn't get him in my own freaking corporate event.  His favorite band was playing and I hung out with them for 2 hours after the show drinking beer. I sent him pics but he was somehow still not happy for me.

    The Brisket:


    12 lb choice Packer
    Fat cap trimmed to 1/8" or so. All hard fat trimmed off.
    Apply Bad Byron's Butt Rub until you can no longer see the grain of the meat (Bad Byron's can be very salty so don't go nuts. Just a light coating until it's covered is plenty)
    250 for 20 hours (205 point, 198 flat) over Ozark Oak and 4 decent sized Oak Chunks
    4 hour cooler rest (psssst- this is the secret. Don't tell anyone)

    Then, drink you weight in shiner bock and vodka soda before slicing and serve to strangers with your hands


    I heard the brisket was the bomb..but a
    little bird told me that your recipe was more like this:

    Step 1: wake up at 6am and start off with a Bloody Mary
    Step 2: drive to Franklins with a ice chest loaded with beer and liquor.
    Step 3: wait, drink, wait, drink, drink
    Step 4: order a 12# whole brisket
    Step 5: Throw brisket in the empty chest that you killed while waiting in line.
    Step 6: 4 hour cooler rest while driving to Fest (psssst- this is the secret. Don't tell anyone).
    Step 7: Then, drink you weight in shiner bock and vodka soda before slicing and serve to strangers with your hands

    I'm trying not believe it, but I honestly think Travis is just mad the brisket wasn't prepared using his method.
    Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....
