BIG Cook - Brisket, Pork, Sides, Apps...

[PBrug]

Sunday, my fantasy football league completed our 27th annual in person draft. We've always had food, and over the past few years I have been making it. Usually Pulled Pork, Pepper Stout Beef, sides and apps. This year, while timing is more difficult, I decided to do a brisket. Went to RD, and didn't like any of the Angus briskets, so I came home with a 21+ pound hunk of Choice. It did not disappoint.

Cooked the brisket 9 hours then wrapped in butcher paper. Finished up in about 14 hours at 250 - 260. Did the butts unwrapped for 8 hours, then into pans to finish. Both done in the Assassin 24. Also made Pig Shots, Poppers and Pork Belly Burnt Ends in the kettles as well as Mac n Cheese, Baked Beans, Cheesy Corn and Cole Slaw. Lots of work, but lots of fun and everything was enjoyed by all. I was very happy with the results. Having that massive brisket resulted in a lot of point, which I my favorite, but the flat was "on point" as well...

Some pics from the cook...

Thanks for looking!!!

What’s the bacon wrapped thingy with the jalapeño topper? Always looking for bbq app ideas. Your spread looks phenomenal. Lucky friends!

Takes time, but completely worth the work.

Pig or Pork Shot - I use a Spicy Kielbasa, cut into about 3/8" pieces. Wrap in thick bacon and secure with a tooth pick. I fill mine with a cream mixture, minced garlic, salt, pepper, basil... but you can experiment with anything, then top with fresh jalapeno slice. Cook/Smoke hot, around 325-350 till bacon is crisp.

We've been doing this fantasy football league for so long, and I have no plans of exiting any time soon. I still really enjoy it, but honestly, I enjoy cooking the food more than preparing for the actual draft...

Can you please tell me what you cooked all of this on? I only see a weber style kettle grill. Did you cook all of this on the weber? How did you plan out the cook? What did you make first and when? How did you time it out right? Did you just put everything in the oven when it was done on 175?

Please tell me some of the logistics if you don't mind. Thank you.
