    Looks good.  Sounds like you do it like us.  We cook, for anyone and eveyone and that's what we enjoy...people enjoying what we cook.
    My friend. That is what it is all about. I am looking forward to meeting you sometime in our visits to see our folks in NOLA. We cross paths here, but I'd be honored to hook up over an adult bev or something some time. Sorry I missed BC this year.

    12 bottles of fine wine. My kind of desert!  Brisket looks awesome!!  Congrats friend.
    Just got my SIL and her Husband to bed, a huge struggle, LOL, they came back down stairs for more  brisket. Looks like this will be a long night, they are the folks from Texas!!!!
    We started early with dates stuffed with Bleu cheese, wrapped in bacon, serving  a couple bottles of white burgundy, then I let them go to the cellar to pick the Reds for dinner. Big Mistake. LOL!!!! They slaughtered my Pinot Noir from France!!! The rest of the night was killer cabs.
    From outer space?
    Unfortunately, no. From my space in my basement where I got a couple of old best up wine racks I lovingly refer to as my cellar, LOL!

    I'm glad your get together was a success and everybody loved the brisket. When you sober up, let us know where you think you "screwed up the cook" so your other Gold will be even better.

    @YukonRon - congrats on the cook and sounds like around the clock (at least the 12 hour version) party.  Don't tell me the point went to the brunt ends crematorium...to much of the finest for that... ;)

    I got "upside down" on pit temp vs. Dome temp. Usually dome is 250F when my grate over the PS reads 225F.
    I loaded the firebox almost to the bottom of the place setter with lump, due to wanting to go the distance without wrapping at 160F. I mis managed the fire, and the top layer of the lump ignited, giving me pit temps in the 280F+ range, and even higher, the first couple of hours, while the dome stayed around 220F to 230F. I used a lot of fuel to get it stabilized, and I thought, it might have cost me cooking time with the lump, even though I had read SRF Briskets do not take as long to probe. Ambient temp here was in the 40s when I started and dropped to the low 30s, so I knew it would need to burn more.
    Once stabilized, the cook went smooth as silk. The SRF Brisket was, by far, the best thing I have ever cooked. My Beautiful Wife, really loved it. She is a brisket girl from way back, and she said it was the best ever!

    That's not too bad. Sounds like a solid cook.  Start thawing that other brisket now!

    This one was thawed Friday after Thanksgiving, and I put it on This past Thursday. Having not a base point to compare, as this is my first, I find it amazing it would get better than this. I will try it though.

    Yeah - big mistake. Nobody goes in my cellar to pick wines - only to look. My wife once let my aunt pick out a white when I wasn't home and she picked an 03 Chapoutier Hermitage Vin de Paille! When I got home, they were browsing for reds. Had some way-too-young ones in their hands. Thankfully, I steered them in the right direction.

    @slovelad - You really should give them a call.  Outstanding customer service and I'm sure they will address any and all questions.  Just an opinion...

    SRF issues electronic gift cards.  I have been lucky enough to receive them on occasion.

    @slovelad - well, only you can decide that for yourself. It's like wine - you can buy a $5 dollar bottle or a $5,000 dollar bottle or anywhere in between, but you have to decide what's right for you.

    @slovelad I haven't had SRF but their prices look right in line with what id expect.Well raised animals cost $$

     Is it worth it? Is a question only you can answer!  I wouldn't give that kind of meat to someone who doesn't cook well though.  

     I'm really looking forward to cooking one of their briskets - New Year's Eve may be the day.

    @blind99 - You should definitely give it a go-I would start with the black grade brisket (for me it's primarily because SWMBO is fine with that and I don't want to move to the Gold and lose the pass-thru) but a true treat if you enjoy beef...will give a whole new meaning to brisket and beef in general.  Friggin cow wins every time  ;)
