Been way too long since I cooked brisket and I had the craving!

Decided Sunday would be the perfect day to lounge around on the patio so I stopped by the grocery and picked up a small butt and a brisket point....check out that marbling!

I rubbed it down with Cooper's Olt Time BBQ rub and the butt with a mix of Oakridge Secret Weapon and Comp Beef & Pork rubs.

Got Earl running about 275-325 and tossed them on.

While those were getting all happy, I thawed some JD Hot for a naked fatty rubbed with the same mix of Oakridge.

While everything was cooking, an explorer stumbled upon our site to see if any interesting artifacts or specimens could be found!

But things must have gotten harry when he got to the Temple of Toys and he must not have made it out....I can only assume that the Temple of Toy goblins got to him, becasue the next time I saw him, he was a ghoulish skeleton!

I wasn't sure what I was going to do to escape from the skeleton, so I did the only thing I could think of...I turned on the bat signal!

Whew! The day was saved....for now!

Meanwhile, back at the patio, Earl had been cruising along and the fatty was almost done.

Here is the brisket after a couple hour rest...a bit overdone, but still juicy as hell and delicious! The Cooper's rub is a bit salty, but damn is it good!

We didn't put much effort into the sides, so plated with some corn and guacamole...

Excellent cook. Those pictures reminded me of when my grandson came out to help me cook, wearing his Incredible Hulk costume.

And seriously, that was the order of his costumes!

Such a fun day...I don't think I spent more than a total of 30 min inside from 7:30 am to 5pm! So glad the sun was out and the sky was clear! The grub helped, too!
 
Cute kiddos, peeps, and man, does that brisket ever look mouthwatering!
