18lb monster hands off smoke

[philpom]

Ok, I lied, it's only 17.8 pounds.... .

My wife picked this up on sale at Albertsons, she had a digital coupon she stacked making it $2.99/lb. A far cry from the $.69/lb I recall as a younger man but not bad these days.

Turns out I have no time to cook this brisket, enter the Primo. I've got it in the fridge soaking up joy tonight, I split the flat and point and will toss them on early tomorrow morning. A heavy dose of Texas jalapeno salt and Montreal seasoning.

I'm also testing out my new meat tub. Should work well for lots of things. Plan is to run the Primo at about 200°f drop this in at 2 levels and let it ride all day. I've got volunteer work most of tomorrow. Pull the flat at dinner time, let the point finish and shred for leftovers let's see....

The new tub, collapsible, large and stores well.

Has support so it won't collapse.

Cheers

Sounds like a solid plan and in for the finish!
I was gifted a 3 pack of the tubs and love them.

We are rolling smoke. Confident the flat will be ready for dinner, the point......

Since I'm up at the club all day I'm gonna run the Primo at about 200°f. FOGO Black for this cook along with 3 cups of mesquite pellets mixed in. Not sure about sides at this point, sides? What's that anyways....

I'll tag y'all along in my day.

Brisket smelled wonderful this morning.

Wow, long day at the club doing make ready. SRC is a 501c7 recreation club, we have an acre of land tucked away in the middle of Denton. Wr have 2 swimming pools and a grill cabana, summer time is our MOJO. I've been president, ceo, and board chair for 10 years. We had a nice group of volunteers out to help get furniture out, clean the facilities, assemble new deck lounges etc. Of course lunch included.

We had a visitor while we were there, last year he had a lady friend with him. A few years ago we had a momma walking the yard with 4 ducklings in line behind her, it was hilarious.

Now back to business. Got back home just before 4, Primo running at ~250°f. Probed the brisket butter soft @ 210°f, it's resting right now. Talk about perfect timing.

I dropped 3 cups of mesquite pellets over the lump for this cook. Used FOGO black bag lump and put the brisket on at 200°f. Probably trimmed 4 pounds off of the packer and just kinda guessed and wacked the flat off (no surgical cut at the actual muscle line). The goal was to get the thin piece off and above the point in the Primo.

I might stick the flat in the fridge for slicing tomorrow, definitely going to shred that point in about an hour. I love the new tub, think I need one for our cabin and another for the camper :)

I'll post up some pics after the shred later, thinking sliders with a salad from the garden.

Cheers

Food looks amazing. Got any more info on those tubs? They look pretty good from here. Not as good as the brisket but close.

It's this guy, looks like they are available at Walmart, Amazon, sams and more.

Robot or human?

^^^^^^not sure why it says that, it's a link to walmart.com I double tested it, it works. Probably something to do with keeping web bots off the site.
Has a drain plug and lid. Claims it's good for brining, marinating, prep, and serving. I plan to shred this brisket in it shortly. It will fit on a fridge shelf, barely.

@philpom Thank you!

 

[philpom]

The hard work is over, no sauce so leftovers can be repurposed for other things like Mac & Cheese, tacos, egg scramble, etc.

It's delicious

Cheers
