3hrs in here. Tiny Human Pit Boss just got up.........half a year old today......probably will do shots later......:becky:

4hrs in and at 120. Not too bad. Giving it probably 4:30 before I wrap so not much longer. Oven is running and with kid up will make it easier to finish and the full pan fits in it easier

Tuned in...now that it's time for anyone who isn't a zombie to be awake.

When you get up at 3am do you pass out from exhaustion by 8pm? Or can you roll with 4 hours of sleep?

Oddly no, I stay awake :loco:. So luckily the new one didn't change my sleep habits much. I feel bad for folks that loved to (and can) sleep till like 10 or 11am and then have kids and have to get up early. Must suck :becky:.

So into the oven around 8:30. Oven set at 350 and the Hunsaker ran in the 300-350 range most of the time. We'll see how much longer it takes

Color looked pretty good. Some of the rub rubbed off where the frozen fat I didn't trim off the surface melted, but I'm not a guy who gets excited in my pants about perfect bark (I leave that to my little pony re-runs).

Maybe a few more hours which would put it around 7hrs cook time, but we'll see how it goes.

Jason, I have a feeling the mods are going to move this thread to "What beverage are you drinking?"

I'm getting there too. I've always been one who can't sleep before midnight. I get up at 5:30am with no issues. But for about the last year I get really tired on Monday nights. I'm assuming when I get to 50 that will be every day.

That brisket is looking fine.

I have never finished a brisket in the oven. Do you remove when IT is 203 or do you remove when probe tender? How often do you check it?

Same as finishing it in anything else really. Once wrapped heat is heat. Cooking at higher temps I start checking 204 and it's done when tender :-D

Case of this for breakfast......basted the brisket it in it too :thumb:

 

[Jason TQ]

So took about 7hrs 15mins to get a 20lb fully frozen brisket done. Ain't the prettiest, but that's to be expected.

Took a sample off the point and as you can see there appears to be decent color in there

I know how everyone loves sauce! So added some stone cold high fructose corn syrup sweet baby rays to this bite. I think I have the sauce/meat ratio about right :clap2:

Resting on the counter and about to either toss it in a cooler or oven or whatever the hell I described last night for a 100hr rest :becky:. Flavor test sometime next week........

Until then here is an another informative video on brisket probing
