Pitmaster Club Black "Bark" Friday Brisket Cook - Who's In?

[Clark]

Just cooked a 14 lb er last Thur/Fri. for visiting in-laws. It sure filled up my little Chimp but it did it's usual great job for 15 hours.

[Huskee]

What's wrong with cooking another next Fri?

[Troutman]

No pics Clark, didn’t happen 👎

[Dr. Pepper]

Clark Ouch.
Isn't there a way for you to ignore those of us who enjoy the social network? If you don't look at SUWYC, Jokes, Music, Sunrise Sunsets, Off Topics, etc, you could be spared from having to suffer us 'super-egotistics.'

Any other day and I would be on this like a rat on a cheeto!!! We have a good friends wedding that weekend and leaving Friday morning so i'm out on this one. This sounds like a blast and I can't wait to see the outcome of this carnage cook...HA!!!
I'm hoping everyone takes plenty of pictures....I'm interested in seeing everyones, prep, smoker/cooker setups, cook and final products!!!

It was requested of me to cook Brisket this Friday. Not sure if I can swing it again next Friday. But you can bet, I sure will be watching!

[SheilaAnn]

DTro Bark Friday!! Love it! I think I may be down for this, too. But I will go half and half as well. Point: smoke. Flat: ‘strami

SheilaAnn - THAT'S a great idea. Don't know why I never thought of it. Except for the fact that the point makes my favorite pastrami as well. 😂

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

Depends how much leftovers we take home from our friends. Just the wife and I, and it's a 4 day weekend for me so it'd be brisket leftovers in the freezer or I guess I could share SOME at work the following Monday, but I prefer to cook things Sunday when I'm gonna share them at work.

[JoeSousa]

I would love to but my in-laws are getting in to town the Saturday after Thanksgiving and I kind of got roped into promising to cook a brisket for them sometime while they are here.

But I could "mistakenly" think they are coming in to town on Friday and have the brisket ready to go then. Might just have to think about that...

[Huskee]

A reheated brisket a la "The Wozniak Way" (or anything close to it) is still a wonderful good-as-fresh brisket. Just sayin'.

[JoeSousa]

I am almost as big a fan of cold, leftover brisket as I am hot, fresh brisket. But I wouldn't want to waste any of those good leftovers either.

[Troutman]

I have an Akaushi brisket as well, same as David’s. Here’s the thing, I want to corn the flat for pastrami so I’ll only smoke the point. Guess what I’m saying is I’m half in 👍👍

[Huskee]

Nah man, a point is the best part says me so you're ALL in!

[Spinaker]

Let's Go!!!!!

I have curing the brisket now for some pastrami!!!


Great call Huskee

[CandySueQ]

Cooked brisket last Friday. Dealing with last of leftovers tonight!

[DTro]

Nice tray! is that for comp or is that just how you serve your friends?😀

[SheilaAnn]

All kinds of competition presentation!

[FireMan]

Yes, a great present.

[kjbarth]

I’m in, maybe. Smoking a turkey on thanksgiving day on my WSM and I’ll have to do a quick cleanup of the WSM thanksgiving night to be able to start the brisket in the dark on Friday morning. Also contributing to the maybe, SWMBO will want to get rid of the turkey leftovers ASAP and may not want another meat competing with finishing the turkey. I have my work cut out for me.

[Joey877]

My Akaushi brisket is in the garage fridge awaiting its overnight dry brine tonight before going on the smoker tomorrow night. I have no problem doing brisket two weekends in a row, but next weekend I have to travel down below to the in-laws for the turkey day. Maybe I'll take a smoker with me...

[Santamarina]

I’ve been wanting to smoke a brisket for Thanksgiving for years - the wife supports this idea! Usually too busy with all the other food, so we do a rib roast (in place of ham, which we ditched a few years ago).

We aren’t hosting the family meal for the first time in many years, so maybe this is my year…

[glitchy]

If it becomes an annual thing, maybe I'll partake next year. I have a freezer absolutely stuffed right now, so need to focus on cooking things already have like at least one of the two whole turkeys and maybe the prime rib roast that's in there over the long Thanksgiving weekend. We've got a bunch of meat getting to or past the year mark that needs to get cooked.

[Draznnl]

I’ve got room in my freezer for anything I’d need to cook soon.

Edit: And then I read @Joey877’s post.

Say the word and I'll send you my address so you can ship me anything that would otherwise go bad...

[STEbbq]

I also would like to be added to glitchy’s Secret Santa freezer delivery list.

[LA Pork Butt]

I have some uncertainties about that day, but if I can work them out I’ll do the point I have in the freezer.

[frailinryan]

I have to work Black Friday, but I plan to smoke a brisket the following day.
