She's got her mojo going! One thing I noticed is she's a bit leaky due to lack of use for a long while. My other Kettles don't leak around the lid. She's getting there. Gotta get that patina and seal made!

Not impossible the lid's just slightly out of round.....it happens moving / storing them sometimes......a very gentle bear hug, if it's apparent where the leak is
Nice lookin' kettle cookup thus far !!!!
She's round, just no build up on the inside or around the lid edges. Don't know if you guys place the lid on your Kettles the same way all the time, but I do. OCD. Lid handle must be perpendicular to bowl handle. To me, at least, that way it always closes the same way all the time. It's a sickness. I know. Gotta get her going with my program!:wacko:

We are at 180 IT and rising pretty quickly. No mo lid crackin! 7 hours in.
Ok, cracked her lid really fast to see how the fresh coal was going. In great shape and running a meat meat IT of 190 now. Might have this puppey resting in the next hour or so. Smellin good! I garontee!
IT of 198 now. Gonna start probing for da butter.
My next investment....a thermapen! Gonna be pulling the slab and resting in a bit. Probing nicely right now, but needs a little more heat and brisket foreplay.
Shhhhhh, it's resting!

"Lid handle must be perpendicular to bowl handle. "
........or not.......mine are 180 degrees from wherever the fire is.........
It's a sickness................ or merely a preference (that way you don't have to treat your Weberitis.....:roll

Pretty much the same. Fire is always parallel to coal bowl handle. This is getting mathematical. Wtf! Brisket is in limbo right now. It doesn't know where to go or what to do. It's in a brisket hangover!:decision:
Now the rain is coming down. Pretty well planned cook, for a cook that wasn't really planned with the weather in mind! Getting a nice downpour. I'm dying to spread open the paper and see the brisket, but gonna let it rest a bit more. It's on that stove top in a casserole dish with a couple towels over it. The house now smells like rain....and brisket!
The reveal in parts. I laid down a flat sheet of foil on the grate so that when I put down the papered brisket it would not tear or leak. As for the paper, (I don't want to start this debate again!), but I used some kraft paper. A very thin type I found. I then sprayed the length I used with some of that spray cooking oil spray deally. Making it grease proof. No odors, no whatever. If I die later from it, you will know.:sad: or not:-D
