So much my typical last day home. I am way behind being ready to go. And, of course, I need/want to cook so...
Put a 13.25-lb brisket in the cooker about 15 min ago. I started 22 WGWW briquettes for a MM start but they burned more than I like while getting the brisket ready. I dumped them on the unlit then added some unlit on top of them so things would get going a little sooner. Absolutely not a breath of a breeze outside, 87 degrees and very cloudy. We have had rain off and on all day. My cooker is not covered. No idea if more rain will move through.
I have the door propped open an inch. Oak is the wood.
I made a paste rub out of a small onion, a shallot, 4 cloves of garlic, a hab chile, a splash of Worcestershire and a couple T of beef base. That I spread on, salted lightly (because the base is salty), then rubbed with a mix of Aleppo, gran onion, gran garlic, ground Sumatra coffee beans, thyme, sage, marjoram, ground green and white peppercorns, and a little ground clove.
Lid 260 and climbing. I've no time to keep an eye on it. I hope it doesn't rain (I'm seeing out the window that a breeze has now arrived) and I hope I remember to foil in a couple hours!
