23:00.....brisket started

DubfromGA · Feb 19, 2013

Well....I'm off tomorrow and slept late today. Figured I'd jump on a 7 lb brisket flat I bought Friday.

Son is outa school tomorrow and said he wanted brisket and cheddar sub like the restaurants serve.

I ran the existing coals for tonight's supper and then shut it down. Not much left of the Royal Oak (Walmart-red bag) that I use for faster stuff.

Opened up another bag of my butt-ribs-chuck roast-brisket go to lump.

This is why I love this stuff....big chunks that burn steady and maintain temps while adding great flavor.

Loaded her up and used up the last of the cherry chunks I had.

Ah yeah. Love the start of a cook.

Brisket pics forthcoming. :grin:

Water pan was the cooking pan from dinner just a couple hours earlier.

Some leaks around the probe...seal is no longer pliable....time to replace it. Too many high temp steaks, I guess.

Aweful early start. It will be worth it though!

Yup. Seemed to fit my crazy sleep cycle.:crazy:

Loving this Black Ops rub.

Did okay on the flat, it appears.

Love seeing the top side take take the first layer of rub.....and then the next.

The bottom, fat side found me skimping on the rub a bit and simply using mostly fresh ground black pepper and sea salt.

Will be watching

YES:thumb: now that's what lump should look like, after I use up this stubbs this will be my next lump to try:mrgreen:

DubfromGA · Feb 19, 2013

Rub layers on really well.

Fat side down.... and lid down at 23:00.

And so it begins....

aaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! just noticed as I saw this pic that the meat temp never was put into the meat. Easily remedied.

Yup. This is the worst Wicked Good bag I've bought thus far. It was on display at my local ACE Hardware. No telling how many times it was tossed around until I bought it.

I prefer to get them from my local grill superstore. They get it by the pallet....direct from WG. ACE was only 4 miles from home and $5 cheaper.

I'll load up next time I make the trip to the grill store as I'd rather have mostly large chunks.

90 mins into this deal......

Going along smoothly.

Excitement is really getting to my night ops grillin' pards.

DubfromGA · Feb 19, 2013

Five hours in.

apollocool · Feb 19, 2013

Sorry I'm a newbie when it comes to cooking briskets in my Vision ceramic cooker, but is it necessary to use a drip pan?

Night shift at my house looks a lot like this also.

Looking good Dub.

Maybe not.....but it seemed like a good idea on a 12+ hr smoke.

2/3 of the water will still be in that pan when I'm finished.

Worked my way through season 2 of "Justified" and started on season 3.

Stall hit at 160. Actually fell back to 156........lasted forever and is just now coming back to 162.

Gonna wrap at 170.

wmarkw · Feb 19, 2013

Love Justified!

DubfromGA · Feb 19, 2013

Dangitman.....still only 163.

Thing fooled me.

You will be amazed how dense the chunks are! Especially compared to other charcoals. They burn for a really long time. I got 3 cooks on the vault out of 20 lbs so far.
