Smoke Day Hangout/Chat

[Mildo]

I tried to load the images again. I dont now...

 

[Jim Lampe]

I texted with Jim Lampe earlier, he's been prepping today for 20 or so guests tomorrow.
Said he's getting up at 3 AM to get a brisket going.

3 am turned into 3:35 am, I do not know how to set the alarm properly...
but the brisket is on at 4am... right now, after 4 hours, 15 minutes...
the 22" WSM is a gem again holding a steady 250ºF and the internal temp is 155ºF
wrapping in the magical pink butcher paper.

One that was missing is showing now, it might just be on my end.

It's supposed to get up to 87F here today, nasty storm warnings out for tonight, up to 80 mph winds, possible hail and tornadoes.

 

[Mildo]

OK, problem solved. It should work now Thanks Robert.

 

[Bob Correll]

OK, problem solved. It should work now Thanks Robert.

You're welcome!
Yes fixed, and I see beautiful food and the always outstanding photography!

My baby back ribs have been on for about half an hour. This is the first time I have tried the hanging method. I miscalculated the clearance to the (empty) water pan and ended up cutting them in half at the last minute. Next time I think I'll remove the pan completely and cook directly over the coals.

 

[Bob Correll]

Looks like you have the hang of it Larry.
Gonna be some good eats without a doubt!

Fresh baked cinnamon rolls (from a tube) to kick start my day.

 

[Chris Allingham]

Good morning, everyone! Just waking up and getting online here in San Jose. It's 57*F and skies are overcast, no wind so far. Heading toward 74*F and sunny. Should be perfect barbecuing weather today.

For those who can make it, see you on Facebook Live at 10am PT...http://facebook.com/virtualweberbullet

Good morning gang!
Don't be bummed if you can't smoke today, it's really a 3 day event and plenty of folks will be delayed a day or two.

I can see the last 3 of Mildo's pics but not the others, am I the only one??
Looking good Mildo!

I started an 8.5 lb. butt at 6:30 AM over lump with pecan and hickory.
Pretty big load for the 14"

Looks great, Bob!

 

[Chris Allingham]

We're hot in San Jose!

 

[Dustin Dorsey]

Installed a new stock weber thermometer. It may not be right but at least it points in the right direction now. My old one got stuck at 175.


Just wrapped this up about an hour ago at around 162 or so when the bark was set. Now its at 174 and the wsm is wanting to ride about 260. My target temp was 275, but I'll take it.

Hate to tell you Chris, but that thing is upside down.

 

[Bob Correll]

Looks super Dustin!
The stock therm on my 14" is about 50° off.

5 hours in on my butt cook, grate 264, meat 163, she'll be stalling soon, if not already.

 

[Mildo]

Here in Europe we are over. Total time 10 hours.
30 minutes of rest and slicing.

 

[Chris Allingham]

Hate to tell you Chris, but that thing is upside down.

I'm a contrarian!

 

[JRAiona]

The weather seems to be holding off so on with the show.

 

[Rich Dahl]

Beautiful day here in the mountains of Arizona. Doing a HH first time ever brisket.
Hope everyone is having a great smoke day.

18.5 doesn't like a 12 pound brisket

 

[JRAiona]

Doing a HH brisket cook I propped the door ope with a pair of tongs and some foil to get the temp up. Got it to around 370

 

[Mildo]

A little bit drier but still delicious.

Have a successful day, my friends

 

[Dustin Dorsey]

Wow, Mildo, that looks tremendous! I hope mine is anywhere close!
