It's hard for me to believe your first brisket being a flat turned out that great. It's very hard to get a flat that good especially it being your first time.

I like the lower set of thermometers. Shouldn't need a grill probe with those there. The fire box looks like it can be used for direct cook or am I seeing things? Is there another grate lower than the one we can see in the pics?

It's closed now. Last time I was there was around 2003 and I felt too old watching the wet tshirt contest LOL Now if we go that way, we stay in Destin. If you have the time to burn it's about an hr drive to McGuires irish pub. Great steaks and vibes.

Other than that he really loves them!!!!

I've been on a meat church kick as of late

I had a high school friend take his life. I stupidly thought that the worries of that ended now that we reached 50. I retired from the Army and I can't tell you how many times I've been thru suicide training and it was right in front of me. It's been a few years now and I'm still mad at...

I would look into a mister as well.

I'm team RecTeq all the way. There are a wide variety depending on budget and their customer service is the best I've ever seen. If you are concerned about smoke, you can amazon a smoke tube for $10 that will add smoke and most smokers have a low heavy smoke setting. The two things I like...

I love my RT flagship. I still have a stick burner I will use when time permits or if I want to change it up but I've been using the hell out of my RT. The only thing I will add is you can amazon a smoke tube very cheap if you want to add some smoke flavor. I don't always use it but just...

Vote #3 for chimichurri In fact, I would even marinate it in some sort of olive oil herb Mediterranean type goodness.

I'm team throw it out. It's not worth dealing with explosive issues from both ends for 3 days.
