Well, my 4-5 brisket cook date finally arrived and it became 6 briskets. It started out with torrential rain, a roof leak over patio cooking area, gfi outlets working, or not working depending on further investigation, 3 temp probes not functioning, internet and wifi down, etc. With some improvising, overcoming and adapting I managed to get the Brisket flats started a hour later than planned. Moved everything to garage. Things were chaotic for me and I failed to get what I consider proper picture documentation of the event, but when I figure out how to post the 3 I do have I will get them added. Hope you can make sense of my data here and get some measure of enjoyment from it. This was my first large cook and it did it for the company I retired from having an open house for their customers. They anticipated 150 customers plus vendors. The sausage melted in your mouth and both the points and Flats were excellent, moist and tender. I was very pleased.
