SW, FL Brisket

[BGKYSmoker]

Up early to get this brisket prepped and on the weber kettle.

My rub for this brisket is Suckle Busters SPG and Beef rubs. Using both on all sides.

Dont rub your (rub) into the meat as it will just push around, Pat it into the meat.

Going fat side up as the heat from the kettle will be coming from the top.

Rick is that a new style vent? I haven't seen it before being stuck in the house

That's a "TipTopTemp", a self regulating flapper (based off the old carburetor choke bi-metal spring that used to control the action of a carb's choke mechanism) in which the spring contracts when cold and expands when heated.
You can dial in the pre-tension of the coil spring and have it correlate to a specific temp range, which then causes the flap to open and close as the fire builds and then retreats.
I've got one on my Kamado and I must say, while the half life is a tad short, the function is outstanding and the price is right which cancels out the half life issues.
I've cooked dozens of time with mine but after it gets gunked up by soot and grease the functionality degrades which means it requires cleaning.
Problem I ran into is that the numbers and hash marks on the temp set dial are prone to fading out under the vinegar that's needed to remove the soot/grease build up.

TipTopTemp

They been around for while, the dial with the numbers is pretty useless.

Looks excellent Rick. Nice smoke ring and very juicy. The plated shot looks good too. Thanks for sharing.
