Ok, It's 11:10pm on Friday and I just got home from picking up the pucks from rveal, hitting the market for some last minute things and cracking open a beer. Time to get started. Thanks again rveal for the pucks and beefmann for the offer. It would've been very difficult without.

My pleasure! Helping eachother out for the great cause. We have to hook up and share our smoking secrets over some nice cold beers! Have a great meal tomorrow!

Ok it's 2:30 and I've got both briskets rubbed and in my obs, hoping I have enough time to ftc for at least 2 hrs. I set my get together for 6pm but like I've always said.... I invited you for a bbq not to eat, if I invited you to eat the food would be ready when you get here as opposed to a bbq where you might get here and I still might be working on it!!!! One suggestion I feel the need to mention.... If you have any sort of allergies, sinus problems or hay fever at all, make sure you take a claritin or whatever you take a few days prior, cause believe me when I say you don't want to be mixing together your dry spices with your sinuses acting up!!!! Ugh

my pleasure as well

evlmpire · August 10, 2013, 01:33:14 PM

Ok, the hard part is done. And by hard part I mean taking the briskets outta the obs and not giving into the urge to cut into it before the ftc.... Patience is key....

Since you already have the links posted, I just added the "img" tags. If you click on the "Quote" button you will see how "img" tags were added before and the end of each link.

Wow, those look great! Congrats!

I would love to say that they were up to par but as you all know, we are our worst critics. Even though I got lots of praise from my guests I know they were not my best and fell short. I put them in at 2 am and could only get obs temp up to 150° when I checked at 4am and since I was cooking 2 I was sure it would take longer then it did. Skip to 11am I awoke checked temp and it was cooking @ 250° on the lowest setting and had an I.T. of 160° so I ran a few errands and when I got back @ 2pm they were @ 213° I.T. I knew at this point that I was screwed. I didn't think that 12hrs would be enough time for the 1 @12lbs and the other@13lbs to come to a finish. I just assures me that I need to stop putting it off and get the Auburins pid plug and play asap

great looking briskets
