    First Old Country brisket

    I cooked my first brisket on the Pecos Saturday. It took three trips to different grocery stores to find a decent packer that wasn’t an $86 Prime cut, but I ended up with a Choice-grade brisket just shy of 12 pounds before trimming. Based on weight, I was anticipating an 11- or 12-hour cook...

    Greetings from Texas

    I've been a longtime lurker, watching this site for tips and ideas for my outdoor cooks for years. This week, a belated birthday present saw a new Old Country Pecos follow me home from Academy. Years ago, I began smoking on a horizontal Brinkmann hexagonal grill. I can't recall the product...
