Fixin to toss a big ol 14.5 lb brisket on the large egg. Rubbed down with yellow mustard and Montreal steak seasoning. The wife has been outmof town all last week and just took her back to the airport this morning for her to be gone another week she is in KC, MO. I wanted to go but have three tests next week so stayin home for spring break. Will post some pics of this bad boy as the night goes on.

I'm going to follow you on this one. Brisket is on my list of future cooks. Never had much luck with them and I want to learn some new techniques.

Well ain't even got it on yet had a dumbass moment and got a little carried away with the wiggle rod. Charcoal plate fell out the bottom so had to fish it back In place and lost a bucket fiull of hot coals lol. Restartin the fire. Feel like a jackass.

Dude, it's a wiggle rod not a jiggle rod. :mrgreen:

Can't wait to see that brisket. Did you have to prop it up on a beer can or anything because of it's length? I also foil the ends until the long ones shrink up a bit.

Just pulled it off bout a half hour ago I got pics on my camera just gotta get over and upload em. I didn't have to prop this one up. It was really wide. I over cooked it a little, pulled at 205. What I get for over sleeping. And by the way a bucket full of hot coals with foil over it all night Is still very hot in the morning. Lol.

Well I couldnt get em to upload from photobucket for some reason, but here is the dino brisket. It was pretty tasty, although after several tries with monteral steak seasoning as the rub , Im not sure if I like the super peppery flavor profile. It turned out great. Was a little to tender for my liking but thats what I get for over sleeping this morning. I pulled it at about 207*

I like em tender too, but just not to the point where I have a hard time keeping it together when I slice it.

That one did have some width to it. Looks good man.

When I cook themtoo tender, I just slice it thicker, that helps a little. Plus it freaks folks out when you give them a 3/4" slice that cuts with a fork...

Well I do believe it is time for lunch.. I agree 3eye, my buddy came over after we went to the gym yesterday and we sliced this one up. He was impressed at how tender it was for such thick slices lol..

Looks great...How long was she on the egg?

Couple of questions...

1.) The foil is over the plate setter?

2.) Any liquids in the drip pan?

I wanna say it was on from 2330 to 1030, so about 11 hours. Dome temps on the egg thermo were runnin about 280* and dropped down to about 230* at one time, but a little "gentle" wiggling with the 3eye wiggle rod and opening the vent a little more they came back up to about 275*.

yes foil over over the plate setter, to help keep it clean.

no liquids in the drip pan, i use it just to make easy clean up.

Looks great. I'm not a huge fan of the montreal steak seasoning.

Looks very tender. How was the Montreal steak seasoning? I have been wanting to try that. Does the flavor penetrate the brisket?
