Forecast calls for crappy weather this weekend (rain and snow mix stuff). No biggies, gonna do some laundry, house cleaning, cooking. Gotta set up a printing place when my hobby 3D printer comes in.

I have an extra desk that turned into a flat space collecting random stuff. I'll just purge the random stuff and use it for the 3D printer desk. Tracking says the printer left CA today and is on the road or in the air. Kinda psyched to get it and start playing with it.

38 foggy and misty.

Smoker's chooching away with the brisket in there since about 0830.

Pulled the last of the sliced flat out of the freezer from my disaster brisket and had me a brisket sammich. It's OK when mixed with mayo and cheese and onions and mustard n stuff. Not great on its own.

Got my gridlife w2. Didn't even have me paying IL taxes. Looks like I'm an employee of collective payroll, not gridlife, and only paid out IN and feds so that's helpful. Gonna send in my return. Looking like almost $2k coming back, I'll just send that straight to honda financial. I hate having car payment.

82 degrees today. Sunny... warm... sat in the garage with a pour of Russell's Reserve 6 year rye and a Padron 1926 90th anny.

Had the sirius xm cranking on the garage sound system, and Tank laid in the driveway sunbathing.

What a beautiful day.

Had a run of good luck. Then blew two tires in two days. Both on the same run. Though it set my deliveries back it didn’t matter because I’m going to be sitting in Graham, NC from now until sometime Sunday evening or Monday morning. I’ll leave around noon for Seattle, WA and have 4 days to cover 2,900 miles for a Friday delivery.

I smoke that muh fugger for about 5 hours, then wrap it. After 5 hours it ain't getting no more smoke. And my pitmaster always said you cook to "feel" not temp. If the temp probe doesn't slide into the brisket like room temperature butter... keep cooking.

Just pulled it off probe tender. Thermometer reading 198 in the point 202 in the flat. Only resistance was from the paper.

Tossed it in a cooler. Watching the 3rd Hobbit movie and then I'll go slice n vac pack it for the freezer.

I've been experimenting with the wrap time/temps/type of wrap.

Not sure what I'm trying to learn though other than everyone says their method is best or works best for them. So I want to try all of them. Pre stall vs post stall wrap, no wrap, foil boat half wrap, sous vide rest, tallow wrap, foil vs paper wrap.

Not seen a huge difference between them. But I also don't eat it when it's done, I think my method of cutting bagging and freezing probably minimizes the differences. I just have no interest in eating anything I spent all day cooking.

Burgers turned out excellent. Smashed super thin on a ripping hot griddle the edges turned lacey and crispy, good solid coating of mailliard converted fats on the surface of thr patty. Then top with American cheese and a steamer bowl to melt it into the gaps in the meat left behind by fully rendered out fats.

I didn't even put any condiments on mine. Lightly toasted bun in the melted tallow left on the flattop and the burger.

We’ve been happy with smoking to 170, then wrapping in butcher paper and cooking to 205…. Then resting in a cooler for an hour or so. =d>

Like I said... a friend of mine who is a competition winner in multiple states, and now a competition judge, says you cook it to feel, no matter if you wrap it in paper, foil or don't wrap it.

Beef is organic. It's not going to be the same no matter what you do. Every cut will be different. So... if you want consistency, you cook to feel. Not time, not temp, not anything else. When the probe slides in like room temperature butter... it's done. Otherwise, keep cooking.

Undercooked... it's rubbery and inedible. Overcooked it falls apart but it's still edible. Better to overcook. Add bbq sauce and most folks won't know the difference.
