I started up the smoker Saturday night in a practice run for the frozen few competition. It was a beautiful night. Clear sky. Tons of stars. No wind. Nice frost on the ground with temps started at 29 degrees. Just a great night to BBQ. I love the winter weather. I do more bbq in the winter than any other time of year. I did 2 briskest one was a 4 pounder and the other was 9 pounds. This was my first try at a brisket. Meat was nice and tender. I have to work on the dry rub. Need a little stronger flavor on the bark. Overall for a first try it came out very good. Usually I am not a big brisket eater because when ever I order it out it is tough and dry. Just once I have had a good brisket out at a restaurant. The briskets I had at the oinktoberfest when I was a table captain were pretty good. I did not foil until the brisket was done and I put in cooler to rest. No mopping either. Small brisket was done at 6:30 this morning other was done at 11:30. I am telling ya brisket for breakfast was real good.
