Cut your brisket fresh off while its still hanging :)

20 mins in WSM is already up to 200 - had to go close a few vents.

Hopefully an easier smoke than my first one, was 30mph winds and cold and damp. Its a balmy 55 degrees right now.

Keeping it Natural

[capri man]

looking good kev!!:-D:-D

[Kevin Garceau]

thanks guys.... just pulled them off.

They may have been a little past my desired temp. I had to run some errands and stopped at the local watering hole.... dammit - people kept buying me beer.

Butt was at 199 when I came home, its resting comfortably.

Brisket that was my first adventure we will see in a couple hours I guess.

Looking pretty good at the star Kevin. Keep it up!

[Kevin Garceau]

First time every tying some Brisket....very tender, even if I had trouble getting against the grain. Great smoke flavor, very happy with the turn out.

[OSD]

Oh, now that sammie looks tasty.:cool:

[Larry Wolfe]

Fantastic job Kevin!!!! I could go for a couple of those sammiches right now!!!

[Kevin Garceau]

still bummed I didnt get the cut across the grain right :(

[Coz]

If we ever get hooked up I have a trick to help with the grain issue.

[smokinbadger]

Very nice looking grub. It doesn't look like the time you spent hanging out at the watering hole hurt your results at all. Now you have to do that every time you do brisket.
