South Louisiana-Yes, it is HOT

I would make the drive for the finished product, but unfortunately in quarantine waiting for COVID results for my wife. Hope we get to see the final results.

Hey Keith...leave the light on!! I'm packing up the truck. Brisket sounds fantastic for tomorrow...but alas, we are actually having company that I get to cook for. Enjoy it my friend and I can't wait to see the final product.

Thanks Robert. One of the guys at the firehouse bought the brisket and asked if I would smoke it. This one is for the guys...New Years dinner at the firehouse.

You do a lot for the guys at the firehouse. Hats off to you sir!! What a great thing to do for them. I bet they really appreciate it too. I know I would :emoji_wink:

Thanks Robert. It goes both ways though....it is nice when I am busy stuffing sausages and have the kitchen tied up to get a call from my cousin saying they have dinner covered with a time when to show up....

My son is the newbie at his station. They hope the newbies can cook.
He tried to treat them to my taco meat recipe. They freaked after seeing it didn't come out of a rip top grocery store package.
 
Put the brisket on at midnight shortly after finishing stuffing the pistachio and lemon salami...

rolling red oak and a little hickory to it. It's a big brisket trimmed weight is about 14# and the point is about 4" thick. I'm thinking at least 12 hours.

Took 12 hrs. to 194*F INT to get probe tender. Wrapped in aluminum foil and in 180*F oven at the firehouse for at least an hour to let the collagen breakdown...
