College Football Brisket - QView included

[timstalltaletav]

Got a bit of an urge for brisket this week so I figured why not have a shindig for the PSU v. Rutgers game tomorrow. The game is an 8:00pm kickoff but I have a lot to do tomorrow so an overnight smoke will work good with the timing.

16.5# packer:

Into the fridge for a little bit to rest. Should hit the smoke at 230° around 9:30-10:00pm

After seeing them on here, I had to order a new apron:

Should be tasty!

Nice apron! I looked at a brisket today but it was $72, a little to much for two people ;). Hope yours turns out well!

Thanks, I actually paid $72 exactly today for this piece at my local butcher. Seemed like a bargain compared to this piece I saw at the grocery store.

I bought a tri tip $22:). I'm gonna get a more manageable $40ish brisket from a Foodservice store , when I have a slower weekend at work. Just hate to waste the excess as I usually find frozen reheats not to my liking.

7:30pm - filled up the chimney with KBB and lit it. The rest of the bag went in the smoker with 6 fist sized chunks of hickory mixed throughtout. Should be up to temp and pumping out TBS by 9:00pm

 

[timstalltaletav]

8:20pm - smoker came up to temp fast. Meat is on, temp dipped to 200°, climbed back to 205° in 2 minutes. No worries... Now time for the chef to spend some quality time with my favorite royal family. Lord Chesterfield!

Settled in at 234°... I'll watch it for another hour or two or until I run out of beer. I have faith in this new WSM. There's no way this could be any harder than an overnight cook on my ECB.... I think I wore out the alarm on my Maverick during my first "un-modified" overnight trial on that cooker!

 

[pc farmer]

Wait, run out of beer?

How can this happen?

Should be a lot easier that the ecb.

Let me rephrase.... run out of good beer. I always keep a case of Miller or Bud Lite in the beer fridge for guests. I really try not to drink it when I run out of Yuengling.... I don't always succeed when I try....

 

[pc farmer]

I see. I like your choice of good beer.

I keep a keg of Yuengling.

 

[timstalltaletav]

I like to try a lot of different micro brews but I always end coming back to Yuengling... Been drinking it since my first bush party at 13 years old.

I have a tap set up in my beer fridge but I rarely use it since you can't take draft beer on the 4 wheeler too conveniently...

Chetty on draft is hands down my favorite beer.

 

[pc farmer]

That's why I buy bottles too

As Louis Pasteur said, "fortune favors the prepared!" Proper planning is essential! Lol...

:hijack: SORRY

 

[timstalltaletav]

:hijack: SORRY

We have at least 10 hours to talk about beer. I'll drive us back on track when the meat gets close.

Just shot the probe in... 142°. We're safe for a while....lol

 

[timstalltaletav]

12:20am - temp at 160°. Rethinking foiling around 165-170°. Might just let this one run its course without a crutch.... Plenty of time left
