Game Day Brisket - (Finished pic's added)

[LarryWolfe]

8.7lb brisket seasoned with Kosher salt, black pepper and granulated garlic. I didn't trim a bit of fat, rarely do. Got it cooking on the Performer with Royal Oak and Cherry Wood (forgot to get hickory yesterday).

The underside was seasoned, then I put it on the grill and seasoned the fat cap. Easier for me and less mess. Notice I have not lit the coals yet, this is to control the temps better on the way up, I do the same on my WSM, but IMO it's more critical on a 'grill'.

Coals are lit and the wood is added.

Does life get much better? Brisket smoking, cold beer, nice weather and it's FOOTBALL SUNDAY!! Now if the Skins lay an egg today, it will ruin my whole day!

Hey Larry, how's that brisket coming on the performer. I'm gonna try one on my performer if yours works out. I've never cooked one before.

Nick's poor attempt at a joke.......EPIC FAIL!

Pic's will be posted when I get home. However, I was like Pig's at 'Camp' when they were taken, so the quality can be blamed on the Miller Brewing Company and Jim Beam, IT'S NOT MY FAULT AND I'M STICKING TO IT!

Looks nice. I will have to try it on my kettle since I don't have a performer.

That'll do Pig. That'll do.

Here's the finished pic's. The brisket turned out great, my liver on the other hand is still recovering.

Time to foil, around 165�º.

This is the thing I like best about BBQ'ing on the kettle. I only used roughly 1/2 Weber Chimney for the entire cook and 3 chunks of wood. Temps stayed very steady all day. This is how much lump was left after about 5 hours of cooking.

Brisket after it hit 'tender', rested for 1 hour, then opened the foil to cool before slicing.

Poured off the foil juices. That's pure brisket aujus, no liquid was added.

Sliced

Looks great ...like that's something new with Larry da Wolfe.

Couple questions:
1. Vent settings? ... How would I do the same on a 22 OTG?
2. How the HELL did you do this with half a chimney?

2. How the HELL did you do this with half a chimney? (If you notice in the start of the cook, I didn't light the coals until AFTER the meat was on the grill. After I lit, left the lid open for about 5 minutes, then closed with bottom vent closed, top vent barely open, just enough for the ET-73 wire)
