VIRGIN! — at brisket burnt ends and FB500

Greetings friends,

first of all — a heartfelt thank you to @stlcharcoal For his YEARS of supporting this forum and the community that surrounds it. If you’re considering a Flameboss 500, send him a PM. His charcoal is all I use, too (ROCKWOOD)

ok. Some of you know I’ve been “furloughed.” It’s been terrible on top of an already terrible year for me. I survive by keeping busy. As busy as I can. And I’ve been cooking for people around here who don’t know good BBQ unless you throw it at them. 

A friend lent me his old school GURU, and I finally slept through the night (tornado and all). So - order a FB500 and break it in the only  way a San Antonio  North Carolinian could:

BEEF BRISKET WITH BURNT ENDS

Rub is 1:1 garlic salt and coarse ground BP
(by weight)

brisket are prime from costco

rockwood charcoal 
half mesquite half cherry wood
225* grate
24 hour cook

flats were separated by the back end of a knife and double wrapped FTC

Points were cubes and tossed with extra rub, homemade Texas Ranch sauce, and a finishing drizzle of dark Karo 

back on the  LBGE at 350 to start. I might bring that down soon to prevent scorching. 


thanks for reading and all the support all these years, everybody. My busy day is made better, praying that you and all your loved ones are safe and healthy. This weekend is a special one for a lot of us. I miss seeing my friends. Please be careful, so we can all be together again, soon. 

We’ve got some serious toasts in our future!

Love you all
8-Damien

    That looks awesome.  I made some burnt ends last weekend as well.  Seems like the perfect temp depends on what sauce you use.  I've had some do well at 275.  Last weekend I used Sweet Baby Rays and it seemed to need 325+

    Just bumpered to 400. They are not rendering! Expected them to take a few extra hours but I gotta get this moving...

    I did not. One thing I need to get is a screen or something for the bottom of the pan. Eventually I strained them out but, for the most part they just sit there boiling in their own oil.

    Slammin’.  Pretty much going to do this from now on. 

    Just gotta account for long second time on the burnt ends. And I do think a rack (like a screen?) will help.

    Oh - and apparently the FB500 is NOT water proof. :/

    Nice.  After my brisket disaster this weekend, I may need to invest in a FlameBoss

    I heard they DON'T have a brisketing while intoxicated work around.
