I smoked me a brisket, and it was glorious.

I, for one, will not be jumping on the recent toothpick bandwagon. I, like the inventor of the toothpick indicator, prefer to slice off an end of the brisket for 1) quality assurance 2) confirmation of expected muscle "graining" and 3).... i'm damn hungry by that point and have been drooling for some brisket for quite a while.

Henrik i actually think that the toothpick indicator is a brilliant "why-didn't-I-think-of-that" idea and given the collective face palm of the pit members here in this thread, I'm not alone.

Now i don't know to cook up a brisket or pastrami this weekend? 🤔

[Breadhead]

Nice cook Henrik ...

I'm now on the toothpick band wagon.😎👍

Congratulations on the brisket but more importantly, how's Sally the St. Bernard doing?

[Powersmoke_80]

I was thinking the same!

Good stuff. I like when father BBQ allows the elements to behave perfectly.

Since you've asked, here's my meat tasting partner, the picture was taken three days ago. She really liked that brisket too . Sally now weighs 26 kilograms (57 lbs), steadily adding 3-4 lbs a week.

What a sweetie Sally is! I've also been wondering how Y'all have been doing!

BEAUTIFUL job on the brisket!!!

[fzxdoc]

Awwww, Henrik , Sally is so cute! It's good to have a BBQ taster-in-training, I imagine!

That's a fine looking BBQ buddy Henrik ...😎

That's funny ... a Swedish pup named Sally ... while we've got two Colorado cats named Dag and Tone (pronounced a lot like "tuna") ... Henrik will understand

[Henrik]

I understand fully :-)

Where are you from MBMorgan, any European heritage?

[MBMorgan]

From the US but lived in Norway (Stavanger) for a few years back in the late 90's while working for Schlumberger. Norsk is getting pretty rusty ... not many opportunities to practice here in central Colorado ...

Nice brisket. Nice dog. Good idea with toothpicks. Way to go!
