Appreciate the thumbs up after a deflating experience.
Wasn't crushed, but it's the first "bad" cook I've had on the cobbed cooker.

Plenty of learning left to do!

Thanks for the comments and support!

Go big or burn it!

This is probably the 8th or 9th cook on the cobbed cooker.
I don't even have the right pot for the 14.5 Joe, but we've learned alot!

I've learned I like this method of cooking!

I've learned the wife prefers the taste of charcoal/lump food.

I still like the gas Char Broil searing steaks, but I'll learn


All said and done, I'm not hungry. I learned smoking brisket is tricky.
Trickiest yet, out of 8 or 9 cooks.

I like a challenge!

There's no such thing as a bad cook if you learned.

Brisket is a tricky meat to learn, it takes a bit of practice and patience.

Don't be deflated, it was go #1 and it was edible right? It was a success then, so feel good about that.

Sounds like it turned out decent and you learned from the cook.

Took me about 4-5 briskets before I got a real good one. I am still a rookie and use the Texas crutch(foil).

The biggest thing to learn is don't remove til it probes tender and cooler it for at least two hours.
