    She started cooperating once I kicked it to 275.  I pulled it off.  She was on there just under 14 hours.  It was a 15.4# pre trimmed, and I trimmed a lot.  
    Sounds about right to me. Sometimes the cow needs a kick in the arse.

    Texas Caviar is done.  This will sit in the fridge overnight.   When I serve it, I’ll add some cilantro with it.  This is good as a side dish or served w/ tortilla chips.   
    Please expand on the recipe, looks amazing

    @mo11217 - welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.  Above all, continue to have fun.
    Way to get after it.  Nailed that hunk of protein.  Great ring as well.  Congrats.

    I feel like I did something wrong by finishing in less than an hour per pound , but with that being said the tenderness and flavor were outstanding. My plate presentation skills are not very good yet , Too excited to cut and start eating. Just a simple kosher and fresh ground black pepper rub with a  sprinkle of smoke paprika and garlic powder. Smoked with pecan,  cherry and rockwood.

    17.5 # prime after trim, needs a couple more degrees before pulling, I will let it stand for 20 to 30 minutes after pulling, then, I will FTC the brisket until serving.

    Smobot used for this one, and it has been absolutely flawless, thus far.

    17 hours, thus far, on the cook at 225F.

    I think you’re going to end up with a solid smoke ring, there @YukonRon

    We will see, I set it out for a couple hours prior to cooking, I seem to have better luck with the Primes from Costco that way. I hope it will produce a ring, but if not, I know it will be good.

    @thetrim - was the chili pot the plan or did it become the audible??

    It was an audible.  A little dry on this one.    I had a nice streak of fabulous efforts. This one wasn’t so great.    It’s been in the freezer for a couple years, so that probably didn’t help.

    ...and SWMBO's iPhone pics, looks totally different.   i was out and had her check for tenderness via phone...took a few calls, but she pulled it off at the perfect time.  let it rest uncovered for an hour, then another under a loose foil tent.

    It all came together. Wrapped and bumped the temp. Brisket went from 164-203 in one hour. Ribs shaped up at the same time. Texas Trifecta. Brisket, Ribs, sausage from our pigs. 



    And bge lump-lighter for a month (brisket fat soaked butcher paper in a coffee can). 


    Dang. Brisket was WAY under. I stuck it over and over and it felt right. Guess I was just too rushed. Point was good but flat was rubber. Ribs and sausage were good. Brisket in the Sous Vide for 24 hours for the attempted rescue. Worst one I’ve done in 15 years. 

    Off to the movies.

    I’m in the same boat. Was at 176 & 330 and planing to eat at 6.  Wrapped and heat at 325 and still only at 190 and still dam tough. It’s now 640 and guessing lll be eating alone. Sometimes these things really piss me off but whatever. It’s just us and youngest wouldn’t eat it anyway.

    Here’s mine started at 3am with Rockwood and 5 hickory chunks. Took 11 hrs. Coated with meat church holy cow. 11lbs plus I ended up getting a 2lb extra point attached somehow so the meat gods must have been smiling down on me. Couldn’t get a cut shot because little and big hands kept picking away.
