• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Threw on a 10lb prime packer on the BGE this morning. About 6.5hrs into the cook, it's about 170* in the flat now. Havn't had to adjust the egg since I dialed it into 275ish dome, which gives about 250* grate temp.

If you got that in Southlake, make sure you stop on Wed. and get the 5 lb. limit of ground chuck at .99/lb. with $35 purchase....if you need some other stuff they have on the shelves.

Did that Wed morning. The Mrs loves their maple blueberry sausage(breakfast on the grill). I picked up some jalapeno cheese links and porterhouse pork chops. If you like cheese, they just got in a shipment of Dutch Beemster. Damn fine cheese(only like 2000 wheels a year). Also Mrs gets garlic dill cheddar that's really good. Keller paper runs a $5 off coupon ($35 purchase)each week on the front page. They got some 2lb cowboy cut ribeyes but I had enough meat in the cart for one week.

My last hijack of your thread! Check the Deli case and look at the salami if you make some of Phil's cheesy bread. The name escapes me but it's down at the right hand end and looks like a star or flower. Go with the Caliente.
 
nice! i've got two 4.5 pound boston butts on right now.

i have yet to try a brisket on my egg.
 
Flat is wrapped and resting. Point was cubed tossed in a little Stubbs and rub and back in the egg. From the sample peices from the point, this will be a really good cook.
 
thillin, thats a good looking packer..i got 2 butts on. and i'm going do some fattys and bb later on to night..are you ready for another egg? great job bro..
 
That brisket looks fantastic. I have never had a prime one. What was the price per pound?? And do they get to tender temps quicker?

$1.49/lb Tony76248 found an Albertson's here that had em mixed in the cooler. Wish they would've had more.

Here's some finished pics!

You and me both. I wasted a competition brisket last week just messing around. It was choice but the thing was about 2-1/2" think. arghhhhhhh

They will be on sale again soon. Ask for Ladonna next time you are in there. She is the head butcher and she will fix you up.
 
Oh yeah!! That's what it's all about. Looks like there is no loss of moisture there. My Albertsons carries only select meats. The best I have ever gotten in on is the buy one get one free sales on chucks or picnics.

You know, most folks that know how to barbecue usually have a short learning curve with an Egg. Looks like you are a living example of that.

Yep, it was a great cook on the egg. Not bad for my first 10+hr cook. Was a little disapointed though. I only got to use 1 of my new toys. And that was at the begining putting the grate on. By time I thought the coals needed to be "wiggled", I was done and started snuffing out the coals.:biggrin:

Well, like they say ... don't wiggle too often or too long. :mrgreen: But when you wake up during an all nighter at 2:30 in the morning to find the dome is at 175°, it's nice to know you may only be a wiggle away from 225°.
 
Great looking brisket. Since you're in N. TX, I guess you're using mesquite. Or did you use another wood?

What type of rub? Any injection/Dr Pepper marinade?
 
Rubbed with Dave Klose's Brisket Rub only. Actually used cherry chunks since that was what was left in the egg. Mix of B&B and RO lump. Actually had about 60-75% fuel left in the firebox. Only used a handful of small split chunks. This egg is gonna make me lazy.
