    What’s everyone got on the pit?

    I’ve got a corned beef brisket just about ready to be pulled off the smoker. Haven’t opened the door since I put it in about 7 hours ago. Kind of looks like a boot. Lol

    I wish I could find those prices in FL, all I’m seeing is 7.99-9.99 a lb. Other cuts are super cheap though, like tritips and chucks. It’s crazy.
