Brisket - Kettle Style

[clifish]

That's alright I am betting they won't be in the freezer long enough to get to the "expiration date"

Well that about does it. It took around 11hrs to cook this brisket. Kettle temps ranged from 250* to 325*. I added charcoal to the SnS three times. So, I'd say it took about 2.5 full loads of charcoal to due this brisket. No plated shots as we were hungry and nibbled as I sliced.

Looks good.
The kettle makes a real good smoker. I've gotten up to 5 hours smoke time per chimney (briquettes) on the kettle with SnS. With my WSM I can get up to 8 hours smoke time before adding more charcoal, and the WSM holds a lot more charcoal. I never use my WSM anymore. Should probably pass it along to someone else.

I'm betting your correct Cliff. They'll be gone by summers end.

Appreciate it edmonds. Same here, I haven't used my 22" WSM in over a year I believe. It would have taken a full bag of briquettes to do this cook. I'm gonna hang onto to it because I'll use it for family gatherings and cold smoking.

Thanks Keith. You can do just about anything on a kettle.
The weather party is over. We're expecting temps in the 90s and thunderstorms today. Oh well at least I got to enjoy it for a short time.

Chris, that looks fantastic. BIG LIKE!!

Appreciate it Charles.
44.7392° N, 73.1301° W is where you'll find them. Oh and watch out for the bears. We've had numerous sighting recently.

That's a great looking brisket Chris. I love seeing these kettle cooks and hopefully the new folks coming in pick up on the fact that you don't need to spend a small fortune on a top shelf smoker to turn out some world class BBQ. A couple hundred bucks for a cooker that will do a thousand different things, a $10 bag of charcoal, and you're off to the races. Great cook and another great lesson showcased.

Thank you Robert, Since it's just the two of us the kettle provides more then enough space and function-ability for our needs.

Looks good Chris. You say there is only two of you there? Well, looks like little brother Yank Yank might head east and spend some quality time with Christopher!
