    Brisket for Fathers Birthday

    Almost 12 hrs in now, just another 30min. My grate temp is staying pretty solid at 227F. The Brisket temp actually fell a couple degrees and my prob is saying 183F IT. I'm gonna open up the lid and poke it with my instant red thermo at 12hrs. I'll snap a couple pics then.

    Brisket for Fathers Birthday

    Well my pit got a little hot last night. Not sure what happened as my BGE always stays consistent. I almost didn't set a temp alarm on my thermo. I'm coming up on the 10hr mark and my IT is 185F. Smells amazing though!

    Brisket for Fathers Birthday

    I got the brisket out and ready to season. After I unpacked it I think I'll be good with minimal trimming for size. What does one do with the trimmed fat? Hate to just toss it.

    Brisket for Fathers Birthday

    With the time change I think I'll be getting it on the smoker by 10pm. I'd like to allow a good 15hrs of cook time. I guesd if it gets done early I'll keep it wrapped in towels In a cooler.

    Another 1st Brisket Thread

    Good luck on your brisket! I'll be watching this thread as we posted around the same time. Mine is close to 12 lbs and I'll be doing it for Sunday so this looks like a similar situation.

    Brisket for Fathers Birthday

    Ok Ya'll, Now I've been reading and reading through the forums this whole week before posting this. But I just feel I'm not finding the answers that I'm seeking. So please bear with me here. I will be smoking my biggest brisket yet this weekend for my Father's 65th birthday. I haven't done many...

    Big Green Egg!!

    Well I've had my Egg for about 4 years now, wow time flies! I'm still just as in love with it as I was from day one. I have a lot of family and friends that give me grief over spending so much on a smoker/grill. I just enthusiastically explain how versatile it is as well as how dependable it...

    Big Green Egg!!

    I'm still loving the egg! Pork shoulder, ribs, pork loins are all coming out amazing. Steady temps do make it a set it and forget it deal. Meat always stays nice and moist, no needto mop! Best investment ever! Now I just gotta get the confidence to try Brisket.

    Brand New ET 73 Problem!!

    I too have the Maverick 732 and I am experiencing these same issues with the food probe. The BBQ probe works great even if I plug it into the food #1 probe spot and I got new probes. I cannot find in the manual where to calibrate the probes on this unit, how is it done?

    Tri Tip on BGE tomorrow, should I make an Aus ju?

    I wish I could. I received the meat as gift and the butcher shop it was purchased from pre-marinades them in vacum sealed bags.

    Tri Tip on BGE tomorrow, should I make an Aus ju?

    Thanks Al, that is what I have been looking for. I've never done a tri tip that has already been marinaded so wasn't sure if it was worth making the Jus or not. Now I just have to decide what wood to use. Thanks again!

    Tri Tip on BGE tomorrow, should I make an Aus ju?

    Well I have a small 2lbs TriTip that I will be smoking for dinner tomorrow. It has been marinating in Santa Maria Marinade for a few days now. I am debating if I should get a pan to catch all the drippings and make an Aus ju to pour over the meat. I'm also debating if I should even use smoke...
