Going to be 60 degrees today and perfect for cooking. A little colder this morning, but still nice out. Going to do a turkey, brisket and ribs.......and maybe sausage :mrgreen:.


Suns rising. Got up around 6am for no reason, then went to grab coffee (anyone else always drink iced coffee even when it's cold?) and then started the fire



Chilly out, but not too bad




Got more oven therms last week to play with the temp in the warmer and using them this week in the main chamber. Also got a new maverick as the one of the 2 I abused for 5years finally died :doh:.



Going to try a few different things on the brisket today. I've done hot sauce slathers and liked that, but going to try the pickle juice and mustard. I don't do mustard on anything since it doesn't add much. Never tried it on brisket so we'll see how the mustard/pickle works. Going to smoke it on the rack, then into butcher paper, then into a pan that gets foiled (love me some extra steps!! :-D). Then I might berate it and tell it it will never amount to anything in life and shove it into a cooler. If you are a kiss person you probably don't want to watch my brisket today :becky:. No idea what any of those steps will do and I have no reason for doing them other than I thought of it this morning. Ribs and turkey will be just rubbed and smoked though.
Brisket about to go on at 8am. Eating around 5:30'ish. Happy Saturday!
