    Thanks, guys! I am supremely happy with how this cook came out. I've been fighting briskets for the last two years. Some good, most made great chili. This one positively rivaled even some of the briskets I've had in Texas, and that is not hyperbole. Just so happy.
    Congrats. That's a big food win. 
    Looks amazing.

    As promised, here is the finished product. Took 22.5 hours to finish off the brisket at 225°. Longest smoke I've ever encountered but soooooooooo worth it. Best brisket I've ever cooked. Just beyond words right now. It's so tender, so flavorful, and so moist. I'm just blown away. Made the 22-hour smoke completely worth it.

    Oh my.  That looks phenomenal.  Did you wrap it at all or just let it go all the way??  Brisket is so frustrating to smoke especially when it hits the stall and you need to wrap it and then it loses that bark.

    Thanks! I wrapped in butcher paper. Surprisingly, the bark held pretty well even wrapped and even though the stall lasted almost 8 hours. I considered briefly going full unwrapped, but it wasn't part of my initial plan and after years of going off-book and second-guessing myself I decided to stick with the plan this time. I'll probably try one more this way and then start experimenting with going unwrapped to see which I prefer more. Needless to say, I was super happy with the way this one came out so I'm nervous about doing something new at least for now. Every cook is different so I'm not expecting the same results next time but, if I'm close, then I'll know this method works well and will try other things.

    It is not unusual for an 18 pounder to take that long. Looks fantastic.

    In the not all good food looks good category, here’s tonight’s fish chowder. 



    Used bacon grease to show these damn yankees how it’s done. 

    Olive oil for chowder? Get the fuck outta my face with that shit!
