Everything is looking good! You got a probe in the beans?

He's checking them for tenderness duh!

Yeah, probe in the beans. Starting to rain and want to be sure they get hot before I have to pull them, oven is full...

Here it all is...

Dutch's beans and my mac & cheese...

Wife made an Asian style slaw...

I am real happy with how the brisket turned out, thank you all for the ideas. I cooked this for my neighbor, but unfortunately he went to the hospital this morning with health issues and wasn't here to enjoy it. I have him plenty for when he's able and hopefully that'll be soon. Regardless, I'll cook this for him again when he's more able to be here and enjoy it...

Hey, I am not hating lol. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Never tried it before but pretty good idea!

Everything looks amazing! Brisket looks perfectly cooked too. Hope your neighbor gets home soon to enjoy.

Absolutely no way I was thinking you were hating, John. I put the beans in the smoker and it started raining and the probe was an easy way to keep a check on them without getting wet.

Thank you all for your replies, they really mean a lot to me. As a brief update, my neighbor is still in the hospital and I haven't seen his wife since I've been home. Hopefully all is well or will be well...

looks great. I have several of the aldi briskets in my freezer. if you get there when fist put out I can find some points or large portion of points. I have full smoked using Al's method. another method I have used is 2 to 4 hours in smoker, then insta pot with bourbon and beef broth. cook times depend on desired out come. shorter for stew. little longer for slices and longer for pulled and chili.
