That brisket looks AMAZING btw.

Good looking bark on the brisket.

I was supposed to be there, Sorry I didn't make it. Since 3 am everything in life has seemed to conspire against me.

Welp, looks like I'll be banned tonight for unknown reasons.

You're a worthy competitor, but Im hoping tigger gets it.

Or some threads get deleted that brc has spent hours on

It's okay to hate on Smith when convenient.

My god that brisket looks ****ing amazing!

Is it too late for drinking? Bob Dole seems nice.

I got drunk 50 miles south.

Wow. Thanks for the kind words, Beav. You & SAUTO would have definitely helped this bash.

We had plenty of larruping victuals to go around. We could have used more help yelling at the TV during the game.

I have smoked....wait...

Nobody knows how many briskets I have smoked, but this one was my best ever. Used pecan and maple wood chunks.

Left on the smoker a little longer due to cold weather overnight.

I am afraid I now have set the bar too high for even me. Perfect brisket.

I also made some "Dinny's Best Good Candy".

Get a big bag of Ghirardelli 60% cacao chocolate chips, melt them and stir in a bag of shelled pistachios. Spread on parchment paper and chill. Break into bite size pieces and store in the Frigidaire.

No pics.

Best damned brisket Bob Dole has ever had, and Bob Dole has had a LOT of brisket.

Thanks for being such a gracious and generous host, Dinny.
