Brisket Stew on the ECB

[Rings Я Us]

Just prepping.
Probably going to sear the meat in a pot on the stove to get that deep color I want. It's about a pound and a half of trimmed brisket flat meat to get it going.

Beef stock is melting and took the handles off the old stainless steel heavy duty pot to be safe on the ECB

Man! Smells really good. Looks great!
Just added carrots, celery and mushrooms. I added a tad more thyme plus salt n pepper too. Add some potatoes the last hour. Still has 3 hours to go or so at this low temp. Cranked the ECB up to 300 for a few though.. get some cooking on the vegetables

Guess I can put a lid on after I add potatoes. Smoke ran about 5 hours . I may add some beer to the beef stock of I think I can use a cup or so of liquid. Didn't use wine. Just stock.

So anyway.. took my stew off the ECB and transferred it to a clean heavy cast iron pot on the stove and added some cornstarch and water to thicken. Adjusted my seasoning.
