    It takes a pretty early serving time for me to cook overnight anymore. Now that I can cook pretty much any cut at a higher temp and get excellent results, I don't have any real incentive to start the night before anymore. For competition, turn-in for brisket is 1:30 p.m., so figure it coming off by 11:30 a.m. at the latest, and I'm kind of forced to do the overnight thing (well, light the smokers shortly after midnight, anyways). That's part of the experience, though.

    Otherwise, a 2:30 p.m. pull means just wake up a little early and get it done at the 275-300* range. :D

    You know, I'm not even really a shooter, myself. No problem with it or anything, just nothing I've ever taken up as a hobby/sport. One day, though, perhaps.

    I can't even fathom snow and ice right now. We had a little cold snap last weekend (~35*, wet, and windy), but that's nothing compared to your weather. That said, when it gets nice up there, it gets NICE. I don't think we're too far removed from some really beautiful backyard pics ;).

    A little progress. Quite the color for only 4 hours in!

    The oak from the spent whiskey barrels smells real nice, too. I've never found a groove with oak, but this might be the ticket.

    It's quite good! Hoping to have something to send off for testing/evaluating/scaling soon, but there is SO much going on right now (Pitfaced BBQ or otherwise) that I don't know when it'll be.

    Each slice of the brisket was literally dripping. The pork belly burnt ends were a massive hit as well. I'm not a bean guy, so I don't practice them much, but those got a pretty positive response, too. I might need to give them done real attention.

    Great day cooking for folks!

    Well, I was being a bit facetious, but do I sense sarcasm?

    You’re quite observant.

    Amazon won’t deliver some things here. Apparently BBQ pellets are some of those things.

    Everything about this post is sexy, especially the white grill!

    Usually it’s because it’s cost prohibitive for them. Anything large or heavy won’t ship to Alaska.
