    @KermitTheEgg - great pics and burger but...life is too short for lite/light beer  ;)

    Thank you, I prefer a nice bourbon or some Founders, but Lite will always be my go to everyday beer.  @lousubcap

    An overnight cook.  My 3rd brisket (15.5 lbs).  I'm hoping to finally get to eat some.  The first 2 went to pot luck meals for a gathering of old friends.  The left overs each time wouldn't half fill a sandwich baggie.  Used a simple rub of S & P and added a little crushed red pepper.  Haven't added the pepper before but thought it might add a little extra umph.

    @FarmerTom after all the anxiety of your first brisket, you've taken to it like a duck to water.

    @FarmerTom - definitely lookin' like a winner.  Great bark.  Glad you will get to enjoy and I'm sure the pepper will enhance the flavor.  And you are cranking out the briskets.  Most enjoyable cook you can have on the BGE-just an opinion...

    And I owe it all to the good folks here on this forum.  Had that first one been for here at home, I wouldn't have worried so much.  But when a bunch of friends were counting on eating brisket, I was a bit nervous.  You came to my rescue and guided me through a rough night of weather to be egging my first one. Thanks again to all.

    @hapster -  the originator of the caveman cook method here-and I am a serious participant.  Thank you for showing me the light.  I know the cook and pics will be over the top.

    @theyolksonyou I made a turbinado, molasses,  and balsamic reduction, not as bad as yours, but I had the sugar and molasses nice and liquidy and poured cold balsamic in.  Looked like a volcano with huge frozen bubbles of sugar.  Took another 30 minutes to get it back.

    @Ozzie_Isaac sometimes you should either cook inside or outside, not both.  Had the fryer and egg going outside. Stove got away.

    @henapple brisket chili... Doesn't get better than that 

    @Hans61 dear lord please send me some of those steaks. I would die happy. 

    @hapster beautiful glowing embers. I want a poster of that!



    Buddy and I ate an entire bag of shishito peppers tonight. Kids got drumsticks, hotdogs and burgers and we had some delicious flank steak. Love those peppers.

    @GregW - fortunately for me the Costco here sells them fully laid out so I didn't get confused with the jelly roll presentation.  I would go with the unrolled (don't have any experience with any other style) cook.  But that said, they go quickly and are not uniform in thickness-at least those I have found. FWIW-
    Thanks, I think the rolled up kind got me off on the wrong path. Seeing them rolled up made me think that was the best way to cook them.
    I'm thinking that it might even work to cut it up and put it on skewers.

    I think there are many ways to do it that will yield better results that what I did.
    @GregW   I posted this comment in the what are you doing now thread to Lits picture.  Next time, try unrolling them.  


    Hey @Lit  I have got those a few times now.  This is the way I like them best:
    Unwrap them form the butcher twine and lay them out. Salt and pepper them.  On the egg at 225 to 100F with some oak, then reverse sear as close to the coals as possible to desired temp - they go fast because they are usually a bit thin. Super rich cut. Unwrapping them and getting the additional crust really worked well for me.
    ... Try it if you think you will enjoy.  I did them once all tied, and we liked them 2x as much untied. If you try it, let me know what you think.

    That sounds like an excellent way to go. I will definitely try the next ones this way.
