Brisket cooked on open fire pit to the music of cicadas

[edmonds]

Cooking to the music of cicadas, brood XIX appearing every 13 years in north Alabama.
They are about 300 yards away in the woods behind the barn.
Video is about 20 seconds.

Brisket cooked on Santa Maria grill at about 250 F. Rotated and flipped every 30 min. Wrapped in foil when probe tender and held in oven's warmer drawer.
Turned out very good - juicy with nice bark.



Thanks for looking.

Beautiful view and the brisket looks delicious! Curious about total cooking time.

Last time they were here, maybe 5 years ago, they could be so loud it hurt. No joke.

6 lb (untrimmed) brisket from homegrown Dexter steer, a smaller breed of cattle.
Cooked over red oak for 6 hours with lid over meat, as shown here.
Also spritz at every flip.

Great looking brisket and I think that cooking technique looks like a lot of fun.
