    Sunday brisket

    Pretty sure I hit the stall. I'll give it 30 minutes and then wrap just to make sure it gets done.

    4.5 hours in and the flat IT is at 163. I might be ok!

    Sunday brisket

    I hope it's done in time. The person I'm cooking it for wants to eat at 3, so maybe it'll be done around 1.

    Sunday brisket

    Got this on about an hour and a half ago. Left it alone for about 20 minutes and came back from the bath house to billowing smoke. Grease fire! Temp was almost 400 but I finally got it back down to 250-275 with minimal damage to the meat.

    Partially cooking a brisket

    That's what I was thinking. I'm just cooking it for someone and I won't be at the event. The last brisket I cooked was 17.25 pounds and it was done in 10.5 hours. They're only having about 10 people so 8-10 pounder should be plenty. I can probably get it done in 6-7 if I manage the fire properly.

    Partially cooking a brisket

    I've been volunteered to cook a brisket for an event on Sunday. Meal time is 3PM. Is it acceptable to cook it for a few hours in Saturday and then finish on Sunday? I don't want to stay up all night smoking but I don't want to be rushed for time either.

    The 'Scrap' build.

    It sounds like your dimensions are the exact same as the soker that I built a while back. My FB is 20"W, 24"L and 18"H. Let me suggest before it's too late that you make your turn end of the CC round instead of flat. Mine is flat and I havetemp issues at that being 75-100 degrees hotter. Sorry...

    I forgot to get a pic before I carved it. This is what's left.

    Going away brisket

    Don't get me wrong, I'll have a second career. No way I can live off of USMC retirement!

    Going away brisket

    They pack us out next week but we will live in our RV until the wife and kids move to FL in July. Then I'll move in September or next June, depending on how my retirement works out.

    Going away brisket

    Well, the folks at my physical therapy department have been so pleased with my BBQ that they asked me to cook for a going away lunch tomorrow. I'm honored they'd ask, but the movers will be here next week and I don't really have time. But how could I say no? Besides, I get to use the big smoker...

    Birthday smoke

    A friend asked to smoke pulled pork for his daughter's birthday, and I get to keep one of the butts. Sounds like a deal to me! Plan was to smoke Friday night and then let rest in the oven until the party. Due to an unforeseen trip to the ER in Tucson for my 3 year old, we didn't get home until...
