Race Day here in Indy, so the brisket goes on early!

[schlotz]

Made sure to thaw out a 12# brisket by placing in the fridge Tuesday. Late yesterday trimmed it up removing the hard fat, somewhat getting the fat cap reduced and remove a small amount of flat end to keep the thickness similar. Trim weight was 9.2#. Seasoned with only 50/50 Salt & Pepper (going pure Texas) last night as well. Got the MAK running first thing this morning set to 200º and the brisket went in at 6:15. Ran until 7:30 then bumped to 275º where it will remain until done. Using the RFX to monitor the grate & the meat probes will go in after 4 hours. More to come....

No doubt but all sports are doing it in some form now,even the NFL has moved in that direction.If you want to watch you have to pay whether it's streaming,cable etc. and this includes Indy cars.

It just isn't Memorial day weekend without watching all three races and for a $1.99 I'll sell my soul. All I have is an antenna so that's a small price to pay to watch the 600.

F NASCAR? Are you watching the Indy500 so far...it's a joke so far and it hasn't even started yet. Anymore comments from the steroid woman in the outfit and Gronkowski the clown will make me sick.

NASCAR might suck but INDY car racing is in full joke mode this year.

Gronk is a clown . Can't stand the stupid act ,,, but turned out it's not an act .
Maybe they'll have Danica arm wrestle Gronk .

Now that would be a great show! Danica would more than likely win!

Since I was born and raised in Indiana, I’m rooting for Daly!

Don't you have some hot dogs to boil?

Oddly enough the clam boil I'm having later actually has dogs and chourico in it. Sucks that it's chilly and cloudy out.

Ok, back to smoking. With an IT of 202º it probed tender all over the flat. It's ben pulled and waiting for the temp to drop 5º before placing in a cooler with towels.

Matt ,, fantastic !

Mommy wants dinner soon so looks like the rest will end up being about 1hr 40 mins. Was hoping for a three hour rest but this brisket took it's sweet time getting tender. About an hour longer than usual for the size and how I smoke 'em. Oh well, as we all know happy wife happy life. Hopefully it will turn out just fine. Plan is fresh sautéed green beans, french roll, and of course some good red wine.

More photos to come....
