Originally posted by BTLowry View PostLooks good Johnny
After 13hrs it finally reached temp
Had to finish in the oven, all the charcoal burnt up before it finished
Resting it now, will let it cool after it spends some time in the warm oven and heat up and cut tomorrow evening. Finished too late to eat tonight, but I figured it would and planned accordingly
Going to make Smart's beans and a potatoe salad to go with it
4Wheels argued with me about charcoal. He fills his up big time. I called BGE and they told me he was right. Fill it up to the middle seam.
I can get 4 or 5 regular meals on one fill up now.....

I do have the BGE blower and T-stat that hooks up to the vent, I don’t use it for regular meals but when I want to maintain a certain temp for a long time it works amazing! The one I have comes with two probs to keep up with your meat and grill temp, they even have them that are WiFi compatible and it will send you notifications or you can change the temp from your phone! Just like anything else there is a little bit of a learning curve. If you want to be convinced of it’s worth check out the smoked turkey recipe that BGE has, I never even heard of a brine until I done my first one on the BGE now my wife wants turkey 3-4 times a year!

I will say this a loaded charcoal pit can make temp control more difficult to manage because it chokes airflow, and that can lead to sooty smoldering smokes.

Yes there is some room for improvement
FedEx me a brisket and I will consume it and write a full critique. It may take several tries before I can get you dialed in, but I am willing to do the work to help you improve. I'd guess after 5-6 briskets we will have you batting 1000.
Throw in some beans and tater salad while you're at it. No sense in letting them lag behind if we can get them on the top of their game too.
