Played with the Grill Grates I received last year at Memphis in May. I used some smokey offset heat (was also doing a long brisket smoke) to come up to about 120 and had the Grill Grate on my firebox. The surface temp was 700ish so worked well. Foil was just to keep the mess somewhat under control.

3-lb Tri Tip cooked Brisket style on the Hasty Bake. The plan was to have it on hand as a kind of "meal prep" for the upcoming work week.
After getting the cook underway, my wife came out to the patio, phone in hand, sad look on her face. We have a relative on Hospice and she got a text from his wife that Hospice believes it won't be much longer for him. They know the signs to look for when someone is making the transition. So we repurposed the Tri Tip and took it over with some sides for the family this afternoon.
Sorry for the bad news you received. I hope things went as well as could be hoped for in such a situation. That's a heckuva smoke ring, I'd say you nailed the "brisket style" nicely!

Leftovers better than the original dish!!! Corned beef and hash for dinner at the lake house! Only thing missing was some green chile! Need to bring some bags down from the house for dishes like this! But really enjoyed this tonight, great pan fried potatoes with some yummy corned beef.
and then the man child….got a little brave with the Valentina’s black label hot sauce 😂 he tested it out and didn’t think it was hot….then he drenched his hash and paid the price! hahaha!!! poor kid. gave him some ranch and agave and it calmed him down a bit after!
Son and GF had a 12 hour drive back to Purdue, so I made em a lil sammie to keep up their strength. 😄 Corned beef, fresh mutz, avocado, arugula and onions. Son said he gained 5lbs this week from all the good food…gotta keep em motivated to return.
We’re currently in our second false spring of the year and it’s 71 here today (school and work was closed on Monday due to snow). With baseball around the corner it seemed fitting to practice tailgating today with some dogs and brat patties.
I don’t know that I have a preference but now that I think about it you definitely get a more consistent bread/meat/topping/condiment ratio in each bite with a patty. Huskee

Jasper Meats in Bloomingdale. They are open to the public Saturday mornings 8-1. You should definitely look them up. Huge "decent" meat selection in their back area. These packs come with about 24 slices of meat, 5 pitas and the sauce(which we don't like). I just pick up some at Woodmans and some Feta.
