Glad to hear this, as I've been thinking through ways to use my Shirley more without sacrificing quality time with the family. I've been doing a ton of shorter cooks, but overnight cooks make for a long day with two little ones, so I've breached the idea of shifting things to my BGE once the meat is wrapped.

Looking forward to the final product!

That’s genius. I’ve thought about throwing in the oven on low overnight but don’t want the whole house to smell like brisket (well the wife doesn’t). Never thought about throwing on the egg after a good smoke on offset. . I’m going to do my next brisket this way. Thank you!!

Well Mama said to wait a day, and have it for lunch Sunday so I’m just getting started, same plan, 6-8 hrs on the Brazos, then finish it up on the Rec Tec

That brisket was worth all of the effort you put into it, John. I would be proud to call that mine. Nicely done!

Here is the follow up.

Things I did right.
1. Bought a Shirley.
2. Right cook temp, wrapped with butcher paper at right time (~170)
3. Pulled when it probed right
4. Bark was delicious
5. Snazzy smoke ring

Things I did wrong.
1. Timing was off. Brisket was done way earlier than I expected, mainly because of how stable the temp in the Shirley is. I will know this for future cooks and will adjust my timing.
A long hold overcooked the flat, but it was still delicious and wasn’t as dry as some of mine in the past have been.

Overall it was a success and with proper timing it will be even better.

On a side note the smoked creamed corn and Mac & Cheese were amazing

The shirley turns the all nighter into a good morning cooker.

 

[SweetHeatBBQnSC]

Excellent end result. Sides look great too! Love the idea of smoked cream corn.

Brisket looks great. I just put my first brisket on my Pellet Pro for an all night smoke. Hope mine turns out as good as yours.

John, It looks like you and Shirley are going to have a long, loving relationship. That flat looks fantastic, and the sides are just the perfect complement!
Learning the new smoker is always the fun of the Art of The Que, looks like you did great!
