And so it begins my friends. As most of you already know, this was sent to me by a good friend and forum legend, brother Tex. The true weight was 38.3 pounds before trimming. I removed 6.2 pounds of fat making this a 32.1 pound cook. The brisket went on at 12:00 midnight. Here are a few of the trim and seasoning shots. Will keep adding pics as the cook comes together. A special thanks again to brother Tex.
The marbling is just insane.
6.2 pounds of fat coming off.
To give you idea of just how big it is, after trimming and preseasoning, I set it across my large BGE.

@sgh - that shot on top of the large BGE is amazing.

Nice! Love that shot on the egg. That puts it into perspective.
So, just S&P on that beast? I'm sure it'll be awesome. I've always wanted to do just a S&P rub one time.
Do you do anything with all the fat you cut off? I chuck it, but thought you may have a more creative use for it.

I cut the trimmings into 3/4 or 1 inch cubes and render in a slow cooker for 10 hours. Then ladle the amber liquid tallow into jars, where it wil harden at room temp. Great for biscuits and pie crusts.
That brisket looks like it came from outer space! The size alone would be remarkable, but the marbling looks exceptional too. Will be posting the launch of my measly 17# brisket on the MD weekend brisket thread soon, but I think we already have a winner!Mamaroneck -

I'm as excited as a flea on a fat dog. Scottie you must not keep us at bay.... What cooker are you using? If my calculations are correct and the meat Gods are smiling upon you, you are approximately 3 hours from pulling it.Go Gamecocks!!!

@SGH Show us the cooker as well. We are all living vicariously through this cook - we want the full experience.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
"Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"
