I have yet to smoke a brisket (only 9 smokes in, and the couple of chuck roasts I've smoked have been fantastic), and wouldn't want to try my first one on the day after TXG. But smoking something the day after is a fine idea, so can I still lurk on the margins if what I'm smoking ain't a brisket??

Indeed, it's glaringly obvious that folks here are very generous with their time and expertise, and I muchly appreciate that. Also, it's just my wife and me, and we'd probably have to eat brisket every meal for a week to get through one! Will try eventually.

RickyBobby I was that "almost" recently đ€Ł
HawkerXP gave me an idea. I’ve always wanted to sometimes make fun or post sarcastic comments about some of the cooks we’ve posted. In a teasing manner. Most everyone here are damn good cooks, except for me. I know we have a lot of closet comedians here at AR also. I thought it might be fun to see people post some pictures

My name is Josh, not Joey (surprise), and I reside in Central Ohio. I have been grilling since I could drive, and smoking for around 15 years. Over the past couple of years I have gotten more into just cooking, and really enjoy sous vide and the flat top. I find myself experimenting with different foods and new ways of cooking as an outlet to work stress. I use every piece of equipment I own regularly, with the exception of the electric smoker. That only gets brought out on occasion to make jerky.
My favorite beverage is bourbon. I typically have at least 8-10 bottles open at any given time. While I have favorites, I enjoy sampling new and different varieties.

My goal is to eventually have at least one of every style of cookerâŠ.. I have work to do. Lol!
Thermometers:
ThermoWorks Thermapen MK4
ThermoWorks Thermapen ONE
ThermoWorks Thermopop

Other Gear:
Megaforce 3000 Meat Grinder

Fuels Used:
Splits/Chunks, whatever I can get. Usually B&B competition. Favorites are Cherry, Apple, Post Oak, and Hickory.

Rubs:
Usually make my own riffâs on Memphis Dust and BBBR. Also use Meatheadâs commercial rubs and occasionally try something new. I like a couple from Tuffy Stone and Kinderâs. After several surgeries, Iâm very sensitive to âspicyâ stuff, so I need to be careful about heat levels.
Picked up my packer from Costco! Smaller than I usually go for, but SWMBO reminded me that it is just us for thanksgiving this year and that we will already have Turkey left overs, so she restricted the size. Lol! RickyBobby is excited. $4.39 per pound for Prime. Seriously looking forward to the updates from everybody who will be cooking!! And even more excited about those that will be following along and living that Bark Friday life vicariously through the Pit!!!!

Well I'm 100% out... Our Sams club completely removed the prime section and their Brisket selection was slim and way over priced. Stupid turkeys are filling the spot the glorious prime meats were in

About me
Real name: Aaron
Location: Farwell, Michigan - near Clare (dead center of lower peninsula).
Occupation:- Healthcare- Licensed & Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) at MyMichigan Health, a University of Michigan Health System.
I got a late start this morning, fire didn't want to burn like I wanted it to. Brisket was put on about 7:15 am ET.
It's a 14.6lb (11lb post trim) Prime from Sam's that I wet aged 60 days and has been frozen since last January. I plan to keep my fire more toward 275 to make up that hour I lost. We'll see how that plan goes. Could be another after8pm dinner but I hope not. Cold out this morning, wind chill 17F and I'm out in my short sleeve shirt, PJ bottoms and slippers.
