Weather guys were wrong (a shock, I know). It was not -9° this morning as they predicted. It was -12°! And, no, I did NOT cook breakfast on the egg.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Cheese is going on for starters. The wind is making it feel MUCH colder. Temp is supposed to go down to low teens this afternoon.

It's climbed into the 20s here so I can't really compete, but I'll be getting the egg ready to roast a duck when I get back from a quick hike.

I had thoughts of entering this thing, that is until Ozzie_Isaac's -93 and those cooks from YukonRon and johnmitchell. Unless there is one hell of a bonus for brisket, I don't stand a chance.

It's always good to peruse Egg porn.

The official rules said Brisket garnered extra points. You must enter. You can't hit a home run without swinging the bat. You got this.SmokingPiney said:

Thought I would update my previous post with some finished pics. This was a prime 14# packer brisket. Salt & Pepper day before, and reapplied right before putting it on. Temp was about 200-250 throughout the cook as it dropped a little overnight. The cook took about 14 hours, and probed easy at 192*, I did not wrap it till it went into the cooler for 6 hrs before it was cut. Wood was cherry with a chunk of mesquite. This was the best brisket of the five or six I have cooked, it was moist, tender and flavorful. Made burnt ends of the point, and they turned out very good as well.Cashfan said:Sorry about the photo quality; it was cold and I was tired.
This was my first prime brisket(i think). It was a textbook cook, which is also a first for me. My other ones finished much quicker, or took way too long, and were dry. I am sold on prime brisket, especially when it can be bought for 4.99/lb.

YukonRon says to post, so here goes. I'm a bit overwhelmed by some of the cooks shown above.
As stated on my brisket thread, that wind speed was a damn lie. Froze my a$$ off.
Seemed to recall bonus points for old school thermometers. I'll need them.
And here's the brisket. My 1st.
Had to sample some, the remainder is for a pot-luck supper of old friends tonight. Will try to get more meal pics, but the food doesn't last long with this bunch.
