Howdy all,
I found myself home alone today with a day off of work and the wife/kids out of town.
I had planned on saltwater fishing all day, but blew it off due to the cold and wet weather.
I started my BBQ day with lunch at a local place: Mac's BBQ in Gregory, TX.
I'd never been there before and ordered the brisket and jalapeno sausage plate.
I normally hate eating at BBQ Joints, due to the high price and usually nasty BBQ.
Mac's surprised the heck out of me, it was awesome. Yes, I like BBQ sauce with my brisket :icon_blush:

I found a smallish select brisket at HEB and trimmed it down to 7lbs.
At the last minute, I got a wild hair and decided to cook it on the Weber kettle instead of the WSM.
I've never done a brisket on the kettle before, so this will be a first for me.
I also decided to skip the internal meat thermometer and cook it by look/feel.
Here's my babies and the brisket rubbed down with Head Country:
