    If TFJ and Nicole ever get together on something like this, Centex and @bgebrent will both just sit in the back drinking a cold one.

    XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

    It's not.  It's a win-win.

    I wouldn’t worry about the pot roast, your students may have already been very familiar wkirh Schmidt’s and there is no doubt this was much better.

    Congrats on a good day. Janell workiing and you cracking jokes sounds like a good demo. 

    I trust you’ll crush the Meyer one... Odd twist on the SRF.

    Holy Crap! Class was fun. Total ass-kicker start to finish but a good day. I thought the brisket sucked which was disappointing. By far the worst SRF I've ever done. I think it was over but it had just loosened up when I pulled it. I was hawking it degree-by-degree too. Not sure where it went wrong. Didn't even look right. Tasted like Pot Roast to me too- very little smoke. Everyone said it was good but I was really disappointed in how it turned out. Janell slayed as usual. Sides were on point and overall very fun. We ran an hour over there were so many questions. We had fun and I think the people got their money's worth. I have a very nice Meyer All natural brisket that I demo'd how to trim and prep it in class that I'm doing for tomorrow (no class, just didn't want a $55 brisket to go to waste). Hopefully it turns out better but I'm just dropping that off for them to slice up when they get busy. 

    Overall a fun day. Was like running a very busy lunch counter service for 3 hours! came home, cleaned the house, baked a cake for #2 son's 19th bday and now off to dinner and a movie. No rest for the weary!

    We may or may not have had a spy taking photos and videos

    Used a looflighter for the first time today. Pretty cool!

    I was at the class and CT’s SRF brisket was great.  Not his best ever, but better than 99% of mine. The class loved it.  His bar is just too high.  He and TFJ were outstanding.  I learned way more from TFJ, her knife skills and smart prep technique for BBQ sides were very cool, but CT was holding court and sharing his secrets all day. Just like he does on this forum. These two should do a cooking show. Very funny. I took some spy photos and sent them to CT to share. Great job!
    Glad to hear it didn’t come off as bad as i thought. I couldn’t taste any smoke on it and it was kind of falling apart. I was picking through it to try to give everyone the best bites. 

    Thanks for the cider! I needed one after that

    @The Cen-Tex Smoker Follow the same BGE cook routine regarding temperature, wrap (or not) and FTC for this one?  And I can't remember-you a cap up or down person?
    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.
  • 250, wrapped when it was done (bark looked good throughout so I didn’t wrap). Post oak chunks mixed in, 3 hour FTC wrapped in paper. Was 140 when I sliced into it. I did light the fire at 8 and threw it on at 1 am. Was done at 11:30

    We Did another one yesterday and this was one of the best briskets I have ever done- and It was  cooked on a bge! It was an SRF Black 
    I can believe that brother Tex. I have said it many times before, the best brisket that I have ever cooked was a SRF Gold and it was cooked on my large BGE. 
    For whatever reason, I’m more consistent with brisket on one of the big units. But to date, my crown jewel was cooked on the BGE.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Im actually less heavy on the pepper than many places down here. It’s 2:1 pepper to salt at most places. I like more salt so I bumped it up in this rub.

  • Man, those poor students.  Imagine just learning about cooking and smoking on the egg and tasting that....then going home and trying to reproduce it.

    Might as well teach them about sex with a porn star then send them to Alaska to find a mate :)
