    First hot-fast brisket - amazing!

    They look great. did you trim the fat completely? I have always left as even a layer as i could with the belief that it helped to keep the meat moist, but your pics and report seem to make me think I might not need to do that... I have always done brisket about 225 too... Hmmmm -

I love that design; I have a rotisserie design on paper very similar, but mine has a square box - I think yours is far superior and will probably be changing my design a bit. Is that stainless? in the pics it looks like it. have you worked out the drive system yet (rpm...

    How much is a Hobart 12" slicer worth?

    I guess I haven't seen the $7000 model... I assume those have the scale with auto shut-off etc.; the only way I could get away with that would be to tell my wife about it while she is getting a massage on the beach in some tropical paradise...and even then it might get ugly!!

    How much is a Hobart 12" slicer worth?

    $400 for a Hobart slicer is a good deal if it works and is not ancient (meaning you can still get parts!) I have been watching craigslist and several restaurant auction sites for a while now looking for a deal on one. At auction they go for $1200 and up depending on the model.
