Having a going away party for some friends today so I'm firing up some brisket, ribs and chicken drumsticks today.
Just put the brisket on. 13lb packer trimmed down to 10-11 lbs. Injected with Butcher BBQ brisket injection - first time using this so am interested to see how it turns out. Layered with Kosher Salt, freshly cracked black pepper with a layer of Simply Marvelous Peppered Cow for good measure.
Will be doing the brisket at ~300* today with a combo of white oak and cherry until she's good and ready. Hopefully in 8-10 hours.
Fired up pit at 3:15am - meat went on at 4:00am.
Some early pics...
I've been making sure to measure all temps at the grate level and I'm reminded again of why this is important. My door gauge is measuring just over 275 but the grate-level probe is 50* higher than that!
