Tuesday Brisket

[bbqking]

Ok life update. I had gastric bypass surgery in October 2018. After a year and a half I went from 475lbs down to 300lbs. Then the the shut downs, stay at home. I stopped losing. Then started slowly gaining. At about 325, talked to doc, went through the hoops again and in a week going back in for another procedure to help me lose more. So tomorrow I’m on a liquid only for a week, then under the knife. So as a last hurrah, for a little while, I’m doing a brisket today. Going to try hot n fast. Set the SF at 300, trimmed a 15 lbser down to at least 12-13 lbs. going to wrap her when a 165. Will ad pics when it’s done.

Interestingly the temp difference between the flat and the point is about 30 degrees, starting to even out some, but the flat is at 142, the point at 114. Hoping to wrap it up at 165…

Ok so now I believe it’s in the stall, cause the flat is at 148, and it’s been right there for like a hour and a half. And the point just caught up and passed it, and is a 149…

Pulled off. Flat at 200…point at 204. Letting it rest an hour.

The results…the flat was a little tuff. But still very good. Pulled right apart. Haven’t cut into the point yet. I think I trimmed off too much of the fat….but it’s all good.

[bbqking]

Just had to reschedule. No fever. Just a little stuffy. Small cough and a little light headed. No smell or taste…other wise I e had just a common cold that has been worse.

bqqking - praying you recover quickly, with a case like mine - wouldn't have believed the test results, except I lost my sense of smell and taste.

 

[bbqking]

I’m good. No smell yet which messes with my taste. No fever. Little short of breath today. Tire out easily.
