    Super Bowl Brisket

    So I look at the forecast for Saturday night into Super Bowl Sunday. 7 below zero and 5" of snow. I decide I am not going to start my cook at 2:00AM and be outside firing my big smoker all night. The alarm goes off at 4:30AM. I take a look out the back door......

    I shovel a path to the garage, pull out my PBC and fire it up. A few chunks of oak and I hang my 15# prime brisket. Yellow mustard and Pit Barrel Beef and Game rub.

    Got the temp up to about 155 and PBC said "no more - too cold". I pulled it, wrapped it, and put it in the oven for a couple of hours until it hit 200. Dropped it in the cooler for about 2 and half hours. I was worried that I may have a ruined a prime brisket. I usually do brisket on my big smoker and use all oak (Aaron Franklin style), and they turn out great. When our guests arrived I sliced and served. I couldn't tell the difference and everyone said it was some of the most tender, delicious brisket they've ever had. Sorry no after picks but my three boys, all in their 20's, my brother-in-law, and father-in-law, absolutely destroyed it. I think I had about 1 pound scraps left over. Like FireMan I'm in northern Wisconsin. You have to be a bit crazy to BBQ up here this time of year. The PBC definitely makes that possible.

      Kudos for just pulling it off !!! Our family had a cabin in Minong near the Minnesota border at Duluth/Superior so I know how brutal it can get up there. I remember fishing on Lake Superior in the middle of August and it would get down into the 30s at night. Heck here in Texas there are whole years that go by when it does get down into the low 30s, different world.

      Anyway great job, sure your family loved having bbq in the middle of a blizzard !!!

        This winter has been awful. I don't remember having this many below zero days in my life.

        Thanks Henrik - Nice thing about the PBC, I didn't need to stand outside to much.

      I cook with my PBC all year round. I have found that a welding blanket works very well for insulating the PBC in cold weather. Give it a try sometime and I think you will be surprised with the results.

      Great cook, it sounds like everything worked out well!

        X2 on the welding blanket!!! Inexpensive too, on Amazon or if you have a Northern Tool close by. I use one on my modified COS about 6-8 months out of the year!

      Wow it's pretty much impossible for anyone to give an excuse to not BBQ because of the weather after seeing you pull that off!
