Recruiting Football Talk VII

[DD4ME]

The downside is your wife may complain when you make her fancy soft side cooler smell like smoked meat. Lol

How’d we do? A couple rookie mistakes made so be generous on the reviews

Brisket is definitely unforgiving like others have said. The first couple are almost like practice but not bad for your first one. A few questions…

What was the cooker temp for the majority of the cook? 225-275?

Did you have a water pan? Don’t always have to but can help with moisture and not drying out the meat

What was the internal temp when you pulled it? Recommend pulling at 190, resting process should bring it up to 200-205

How’d you let it rest and for how long? I typically smoke mine wrapped in butcher paper (never foil!) so once I pull it I wrap it in a towel (still in the paper), place it in a empty cooler and let it rest for 2-4 hours before slicing.

It should have some give to it and jiggle when your done @Glitch

I ran 250-275 the entire time, pulled it 205, wrapped with towels and into cooler for 5 hours (we went and played golf), no on water pan, I did use foil because I wasn’t going to buy butcher paper for first go at it, definitely had give and a nice jiggle when sliced

I've been known to finish in the oven too haha.

You might try pulling it around 190ish and using butcher paper on the next one. Maybe even try a water pan. Doesn’t have to be anything major. Even the slightest changes can yield big results on a brisket.

190? That's a little early isn't it? Jiggly and probe tender/no resistance never happens that early for me. 200 is the earliest I've seen.

Yeah, I maybe pull closer to 195 I guess…. It’s gonna keep cooking for a bit when wrapped in a towel and rest in the closed cooler.

I'm gonna enjoy this summer, knowing we're gonna be thumping heads this fall. Everyone will know we're a top5 team within a couple games. I predict we're gonna be one of those teams that just looks unbeatable, like Nebraska back in the 90's.

Go ahead and make your reservations for the playoffs and title game.

Starting off the year thumping NC State and Oklahoma will be big time. I can’t wait

Should make an "Upper Decker Burger". Just put the patty on top of the bun that has all the condiments and fixins on it.

This is a small series of about 3-4 relatively short videos with Aaron Franklin that I watched as I attempted my first couple of briskets. I don’t follow everything he does but it’s a pretty good intro from one of the biggest names in the brisket space.

I really enjoy Mad Scientist BBQ youtube page. He breaks down the science behind times and temps and rubs and tests different settings and such in experiments.

Used to be a place in NSB called 'Upper Decker.' Funny bc the food is as described.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Kind of embarrassing loss but not going to lose sleep. Still won the series. It would have been nice to get to 10 in a row.

Why was it embarrassing?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Ulysses is a boy's name that means "wrathful" or "full of anger."
Ulysees means ultimate wrath!

@Ulysees E. McGill

Sounds about right..

Thinking about a vacation to the UP in Michigan and would like to get some suggestions on places to visit. One part of the country I’ve never been to and would like to plan a trip there sometime. What’s the best time to go for fall foliage?

Applebee's.

[VolsnCards5]

Never seen those before. Do they work well?

They have at my house the last couple of years

@butchna

Read where A.J. Smith passed away at 75 years old, best known for drafting Eli Manning and then trading Eli to Giants for Philip Rivers.

Winningest Chargers G.M.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Why was it embarrassing?

Mainly cause it was vandy. Would have been nice to have a double digit win streak against them and the series sweep.

But in the big picture, not a big deal.

Might be old news but CKC got a commitment from Mia Moore yesterday out of the Portal.

Great job CKC next up hopefully is Ruby Whitehorn a big fish everyone is after.

I love CKC but didn’t Mia Moore commit to Clemson?

 

[Wickman]

Fall

Big if true
