Good morning all.
Lets see if I can figure this out... first time starting a thread and adding pics..cruddy cell phone pics.
Starting with a (noob) trimmed brisket, only my second one cooked.. First was on my 26" weber a month or so ago with a slow-n-sear and it turned out pretty darn good.. It was just a small 10lb one before trimming.
I smoked 3 SLC racks yesterday to try and get a feel for temp control on a UDS i purchased off CL.. It's a little leaky around the weber cover but other than that it seems like a well built drum. Ribs came out excellent and only took 3 hrs and they were all ready fall off the bone almost. Normally ribs are taking me 5+ hrs cooking 275+ Shrugs.
Anyways closed her down after the ribs to save the load of charcoal for todays Brisket cook. Opened it this AM to prep UDS for the brisket and it was still smoldering away.. Just winged it and topped it off with lump and started 15 KBB to get temp up in smoker to around 300.. The unused lump i topped was already crackling away underneath when I added the chimney coals.. O well Just going to roll with it.
Don't have a lot of time as I have a million calls to make this AM and the Directv insall is coming anytime now to..
Here is a pic of the brisket just on the UDS.. I think temp was right around 300 give or take.. Just rubbed with Montreal Steak and a sprinkling of Granulated Garlic.
Went on around 8:20 and I'm going to try and follow bludawgs KISS.. Not sure if I;ll wrap in Craft paper from hobby lobby or just wrap it in a foiled pan.. Or I could let it go naked the whole cook...hmmm
Thanks for looking and hopefully the Cell phone pic shows up. Ouch it shows up allright.. Need a drive in movie screen to view it all.. I'll try and shrink it down lol. Ahh, much better size now
