    Anyone wash and re-use alum. foil?

    The amount of alum. foil i use for each cook is getting kind of ridiculous. Not to mention detrimental enviromentally speaking. I've read that you can wash and reuse but not sure if this works or not. Any of you do this? Is it really worth wrapping the water bowl in foil just to save time...

    1st Bacon cure

    Got this recipe from j biesinger. Bacon I followed this recipe and i was pleased with the results. My wife said she thought it was a bit too salty for her tastes but to me it seemed fine. Bacon is supposed to be a little bit salty.

    1st HH Brisket Flat

    I used my kettle and put a pan with some water under the brisket because i was worried that the temp would get too high. It turned out really good. Definately much easier than the 18 hr. slow and low method.
