Title: 3rd of July BBQ
Post by: johnjmonroe on July 02, 2010, 06:22:46 pm
2 pork butts (20 lbs total) and a 15 lb brisket.  Last night the pork was injected with a brine and the beef was injected with a coke, oil, and mustard mix.  This morning around 11 they were all rubbed down.  One of the pork butts used a mustard slather under the rub and I used mustard on the side of the brisket that doesnt have the fat cap.  Just went onto the BGE at 5:30.  Dinner is at 5:50 tomorrow.

I have one of the butts and the brisket instrumented, and I plan on foiling around 160 and bringing them all up to around 195 to 200 for shredding.  This is my first brisket, so I'm a little nervous.

interesting to see how the egg holds so much meat. What size is the egg? Keep the updates and photos coming!

Its a large egg.  I've done up to 55 lbs of pork on it at one time. 

The pork was done at 4:30 am and the brisket is on a 205 plateau right now.  Going to take it up to 210 for shredding.

Oh man.  I put my brisket on this morning at 10AM and it's been hovering around 150 for over 4 hours.  I am cooking at 250.  It's going to be a late dinner for me!
