Ribs looked great. You’re doing better than I did my first couple of tries.

Mix of hickory and cherry

Pellets make things a little easier, especially for a FNG like me

The dreaded stall. Watch it close cause it will move fast once all the collagen is melted.

Gotta power through the stall. The meat is releasing a ton of moisture right now which is slowing down the cook. But it will push through.

Im so excited for the final pics. This is what my non-NFL Sunday has come to.

I can’t lie. I creeped in on Marshawn Lynch’s’ team in the virtual pro bowl. I really, really want to enjoy a drink with him one day. That guy is just everything ZFG have fun with life type of guy.

They sent me one in December and one this month, I get the beef and chicken box and always add in some seafood.

 

[Lethal34fl2]

Both around 3 lbs.

I could never find it on their website but they sent those two in the last two months for some reason, I’m not complaining 😆. The scallops, salmon and cod are all very good, recently they sent me some ribeyes and filets plus their perks are great.

 

[Simmer007]

245-265

And I’m simply a big overgrown kid, so I’d cook the shit out of that 3” penis brisket.

 

[Simmer007]

One hour rest, fingers crossed

 

[LSUdude]

What was your final internal temp reading?

 

[Simmer007]

Pretty good and juicy, only thing I would change is more salt on the rub

I’ve always heard a ton of salt and pepper and that’s it

I over-salted the last brisket I smoked. I wish there was a rule of thumb for that shit but I haven’t found it yet. I did equal parts black pepper and kosher salt - around a 1/4 cup each. I’m thinking 2-1 pepper to salt is my sweet spot.

Ya, I just wanted mine a tad saltier, but wtf do I know?

Pass on the grass feed beef. Maybe grass w/corn finish.

But, pure grass is bleh.
