You the man!! Dang Sonny, what army are you feeding? :) ;) :D ;D
looks great -I guess I have to move to Texas, the Kroger near us never has full briskets let alone on sale for $0.99.
Another CRG load! Looking awesome!
Think I would smoke something everyday if Wifie would let me.

The Sausage and Boudain came off at 4:30. What a treat!

This is the Pork and Crayfish sausage.

I'm here to say ..... Veron's know Boudain! The little Boudain Dancers
aren't getting any of this Boudain! This is for Grand Pa Boudain Dancer. ;D

And here's the Brisket at the 16 hour mark.

I just ate and now you made me hungry again!!!!
The Sausage and Boudain both look good!

Yes, That could be one of the things I smoke. ;D
Here is something I have been playing around with.
I really don't like the alum foil sitting on the back half of the rack
But I like the idea of re-directing the heat of the element.
I bought a stiff oven pan cover and trimmed it and bent down the
Back and slide it behind the v-tray rack.

This was taken after 8 hours into the Brisket smoke.

I noticed that in this picture and was going to ask you about it, did it work??
How did it work as far as not directing grease towards the element?
I'll know forsure when I cut this Brisket.
I used it also on the pre-labor day smoke and had no had spots on the Chuckies.
I am dualing out my OBS and I removed the Fan and "thinking" about a
heat shield mounted just a little higher up the wall.

It was still bent down as you can see, had no problems.
I have a cple ideas I will try. Possibity of a removelable one so it can be cleaned.
I will say this ..... My pid and Bradley thermo stayed very close to
each other everytime I checked on the cook.
Nice thinking
Say
Can you come to PA and work on my proofer ;D
All the CT you can wallo in even :D
19 hrs to do a 13lb Brisket. Not Bad.
(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/Brisket/Labor%20Day%20Brisket/SDC10786.jpg)
My stomach turned when I saw the Kroger meat. Hope it is better than my last experience. That v-tray is wayyyyy to clean. How do you do that?

The Brisket was fine! ;D Thanks for reminding me!
I'll show you when I see you. I'll bring you one.
So those of us that won't see you want to know also ::) ::) ::)
And I can't believe you ate the crayfish sausage without me!

Gonna get more on Wensday! That Boudain was KILLER. Some of the best I have ever eaten.
Like I stated it was the heavy guage like an oven liner.
I made sure I cut it small enough to stay inside the v-Tray,
but large enough to cover the vents of the V-tray.
I bent a lip on it with a straight edge, slide it behind my V-tray
and push the V-tray tight against the wall.

Here is a pic of it at the end of the cook.

It actually needs to be a little bit stiffer.
and you scrape that all nice and shiny each time?
Sprayed it with Dawn Power Disolve and rinsed it off.
Brisket was juicy and fallen apart.

No dry spot on the bottom of the brisket. I think the heat deflector has some merit.
CRG,
Nice looking brisket.
I like your V-Tray heat deflector. Nice touch. Much nicer than the foil cover. As you say, do so at your own risk. However, a deflector evened out the heat for me so that I don't flip, twist, rotate or do any other gymnastics. I have used a deflector for years on every smoke with no problems.
Without it, the heat rises up the back and there is a large differential between front and rear cabinet temperature.
It is rudimentary thermal physics that dictates the majority of the heat is going rise straight up from the heating element, brushing the rear edge of the meat and then out the chimney, without something to force more heat forward.
Thanks for the photos of your new contraption.
Good luck and slow smoking,
Pachanga
As good as that brisket looks, the Veron's sausage and boudain is what got my attention. That stuff looks killer! Went out on their website but you apparently can't order online. :(

Another great job on your big load. The stiff cover for the v-tray is a great idea. Was this with a dual heating element?

Yes My 6 rack is dual and it was a 19 hr smoke plus hr of pre-heat and getting ready.
Like I said I have an Idea I will test next time my Wifie lets me smoke something. ;D

Naaaa. If it is an Idea that will help, then they can make one.

CRG - I gave this a try last weekend and I completely agree. My PID/Door were also much closer than normal.
