Friday Cook... Getting back on the bike

Haven't egged or had any egged food since 4th of July... Been away and work
Well, tonight I plan on making up for that layoff. After we get back from my MIL house from dinner, I am going to do an overnight cook for a possible day of hanging by the BIL pool tomorrow.
8.8# Choice brisket, mostly a flat with a little point on it ($4.99/lb)
8+# Pork Butt, bone in, ($1.29/lb)
The brisket will be done the KISS way, sea salt, ground pepper, and onion salt. The butt I am going to try one of the gifts my elf sent me, some Bad Byron's Butt Rub. Just going to give them both a supper light coat of olive oil for the rubs to stick. Planing on going with a grid temp of around 250 with oak for smoke.
Figured this would be a great way to jump back in and my new base should be in soon, so this can maybe hold me until the new base is in and the gaskets installed.
I will attempt to add pics and updates later...
Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable weekend!

Sounds great Hap, makes my mouth water. I'm off the meat for awhile. And by the sounds of it they might be taking my gallblader out after another rough night in Hospital. I'll be happy, then I can finally get my shoulder fixed and bolted up when recovered from that, lol. Then..THEN..I will be back cooking a butt or 2. Getting a little sick of fruit and salad. Great choice on the Butt Rub by the way. Good stuff. Looking forward to pics. You guys will be my entertainment for awhile.County of Parkland, Alberta, Canada

Checking the radar to see when the rain is supposed to let up for at least long enough to get the egg set up and lit...
Pain in the ass rain...
I will likely be sipping Sailor Jerry tonight, not sure about the stick yet.
Sounds like its letting up a little...
See ya!

Update. The rain has basically stopped. Butt and brisket are rubbed and on, just waiting to the temp to come back up and stabilize before turning in. Probably have time for a stick and some Double Oak...
Had to tie the butt, very floppy. Cut the tip of my thumb trimming up the brisket; probably because I was wasting time wearing food prep gloves.

The grid temp dropped to 210 and after a slight adjustment of the vents, I'm heading back to bed with the grid temp at 218 and slowly rising.

The brisket is acting strange. The thin end, which I'm assuming is the flat is at like 173 with my thermapen whilst the other thicker end is at 183. The thin end is really not very tender.
Should I call an audible and turn it 180?
The dome temp and grid temp are almost even in the 250's

Okay. Maybe I have it on "upside down?"
Turned it 180 and put the probe back into the side that you can see the light kinda falling on. The IT is showing 172 which seems more like it.
Don't really care about the temp, just want tasty tender results.

Brisket is in a stall it seems... So I'm gonna risk it and go get a haircut and then stop for beer and ice. Shouldn't be more than an hour and a half.

Centex posted last week about a brisket double stall.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

As noted by @henapple briskets and butts can experience the second stall-I have seen them in the high 180's to low 190's where it can take 3-4 hours to move around 5 *F. Recall for the brisket it is "finished" when you can probe the thickest part of the flat with no resistance in either direction. At that time the point will likely be reading 5-10*F hotter but due to the heavy fat content, it will be just fine. Sounds like a great cook-enjoy the end-result!Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Just as I was leaving; the temp creeped up to 183, I got scared... Pulled the butt and the brisket, covered foil pan and moved them into a 180 deg oven while I was gone. Left the egg set like they were still on there
Came home and checked the meat, the butt was very tender and around 180. The brisket was still tough and around 180 as well. Put the brisket back on the egg and it has fallen to 174
WTF?
Do I just jack the egg up and turbo finish it?

If you want it done quick, crank up the egg. If you have time, don't crank it up so much. I'd finish it off at 275-350 depending on when ya need it. But pull when the thick part of the flat is fork tender.
