@The Cen-Tex Smoker - when you gonna cook that hunk of beauty? Great looking brisket right there.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.

They are as good as getting them fresh off the grill.

Well, we got here at 8:15 and they just came around and told us we are in the "danger zone" and might not get any food. Shouldn't have stopped for 20 minutes at Buccee's in Temple

Wow- must be quite a line for that to happen at 8:15 AM. You may be sufficiently down the line that they could run out of pulled pork or the other pork offerings (ribs, sausages) but he runs heavy on brisket so that is the last to run out. Must be the holiday crowd. Dang-about what number are you in the line?Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer!

We are the second to last guaranteed food, thank my lucky stars! The line is cut off at the group behind me, and we'll only get brisket and maybe sausage. That's fine by me, at least I can cross this place off the list now...
@lousubcap we're about 130 or so, right at the edge of his property. -

I know you came for Franklin but I'm serious about Valnetina's. It may better. If you are going to get skunked at Franklins (as in no brisket) I would lick my wounds and head to Valentina's and have a fun day in Austin. You will eat in 15 minutes, have arguably the best bbq in town, you will be in the parking lot of a liquor store and vape shop so if you are in to that kind of thing...
It's not the pilgrimmage that Franklin is but it's great bbq. World class.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

That is an awesome video. That settles it, I'm headed to Valentina's for lunch today. That taco is to die forKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

@The_Cen-Tex_Smoker I ate at Valentina's yesterday for lunch. I had the brisket taco and it was truly great.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...

All in all, I'm glad I made the trek down here. I will say I thought the sausage was underwhelming, and I think my pulled pork is better. But the brisket is legit. It's saltier than I thought it would be, not as much a black pepper flavor as other central Texas standouts. I don't think I'll ever wait in line for 5 hours again, but like I said, I'm glad I can cross it off the list.

@The Cen-Tex Smoker- with that cut I would be as well. Great move. I'm sure you will get a sampling.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.

@The Cen-Tex Smoker this may be THE year that i make my first pilgrimage to Austin. I'm thinking about staying downtown near the music scene and focusing on brisket at a few different locations. I'm driving and have 2 weeks off so won't be in a rush to get back home. I'm assuming that "the line" at Franklin's is a must right? Looks like Valentina's will be on the list for sure too.
Any tips will be greatly appreciated. This will probably be a one-time only trip from Bama.
