Hi everybody. Long time no see again. Sorry about that. My boy is now 8 years old & very active. Between Horse back riding & riding his new 110 cc ATV Santa brought him we have been very busy..

Most everybody (unless your new to this site) probably remembers we had a 25th anniversary party last March. I cooked 4 Briskets then. Then a couple of weeks later we had a Horseshoe Party & I cooked a brisket then.. I posted on this forum both events.

We had a Cub Scout camping trip a couple of weeks ago & I was asked if we were going to throw horseshoes again. Turns out they want to make this an annual event. I live out in the boonies & we can raise Cain until the cows come home.. lol

I'm cooking 2 briskets this time. All of the other people are going to bring other dishes. A true pot luck BBQ...

I'm cooking these on a Masterbuilt propane XL using Oak chunks. I'll cook them between 230 & 240 degrees. Hopefully they will be ready tomorrow night. I have been known on this site for some epic long smokes..

I put them on about 2 hours ago. The temp has stabilized & I may lay down for a while.. Of course I will have my trusty wireless temperature receiver by the bed with all alarms set in case something goes wrong..

Here are the pics.. Sorry for so many..



As you can see I got these on sale at a decent price. I bought them at WalMart..


The larger one is definitely bigger than the smaller one..


Here they are after a good washing. The meat was fresh & had a good smell to it..



Here they are all seasoned up. We usually keep it simple on our briskets. We use Sea Salt & Coarse Ground Black Pepper. The Oak will give the meat the rest of the seasoning that it needs.

I will post more pics in the morning.

Thanks for looking..

Phil

We might just make it.. The small one is at 165* IT & the big one is at 158*.. This was measured at the largest part of the flat. If needed I'll separate the point from the flat after the flat is done. I can then continue to cook the point until the cows come home. We should be up for a long while..

P.S. Thanks for the kind words Chef JimmyJ.. I just wish I had more time to spend on here like I used to..
 
The wife finally got home with the camera. Here are 2 pics. One at the 12 hour mark & one at the 18 hour mark.


This is at the 12 hour mark..


This one is at the 18 hour mark..

Still gonna be awhile. The smaller brisket is only at 177* IT.. Want to go to at least 195* IT..

Got plenty of beer & good friends coming over. They know they sometimes have to wait on my meat.. lol...
