I am exhausted just reading this! Hope all goes well and you certainly will have deserved a glass or more of wine! Shana Tovah.
 
And we’re off!

KPro over a good sized chunk of CA white oak, around 4” at the middle and 6” long in a mostly half moon shape. And one 5” red wine oak barrel stave.

Water in the drip pan below the brisket to help regulate temperature from onset until it evaporates which should be at 170° for the brisket, maybe 6 hours in.

SPG, lightly trimmed up the brisket, cooking fat cap down (first time for this on the WSK) with the point at the opening handle of the lid.

Apples for the challah. They get rolled into each strand and then the strand is wound to resemble a turbin. The idea is no beginning and no end to the challah. Life should be continuous.

Filled with apples and tightly rolled up.

In the stall.

It’s usually out of the stall at the 6 hour mark. Will then wrap with liquid gold and put back on the the finish.
 
Just did a Harry Soo. Brisket into the oven. Btu’s are Btu’s. Gotta get to done in time for dinner.

Here’s how the cook went up till around 350p when I made the decision to oven finish.

Beets didn’t get cooked. Maybe tomorrow or this weekend.

Brisket is done and probe tender!

It took 2 hours to go from wrap to probe tender at bake 350°. This was an interesting brisket for sure. Never had so much work to get to the finish line.
