NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Mine was the opposite as eluded too. That sucker cooked and cooked and stalled twice. Holding for that long isn't the worst. Add some liquid to the wrap. Most of the BBQ joints are way ahead on finished briskets by many many hours and use holding cabinets. Really expensive Alto Shaam halo heat cabinets. But I've done exactly as you have. Lowest oven setting before FCT treatment.

How did it go?

My only hot and fast attempt (on purpose) led to the need for a chainsaw

 

Overall, it was a "success." Everyone went back for 2nds at least. The point was still very moist and tender, and the flat was good after getting past the first few slices (too much surface drying of the meat in that area, making it tough.). Some tough/stringy parts at the very out edges, mostly where the heat wrapped around the plate setter in the BGE, so those didn't make the serving platter.

I wonder if I should have flipped the brisket over a time or two while hot-holding to redistribute some moisture......

Cold leftover flat this morning is delicious, having cut a few slices to test (I didn't slice the whole thing last night, it was a small gathering.). Going to make brisket nachos for lunch to also use up the rest of the homemade guacamole I made.....

The only other thing I screwed up was BBQ sauce. I'm not much of a "sauce" guy, I want the meat to stand alone. But worried about a dried out brisket, I should have had a plan to either make some or have a better bottle on hand. All I had was a sales sample bottle of Kraft reduced sugar BBQ sauce, so I tossed that on the stove and heated it up.

The weather held out for us, making it a good day. Today is typical Seattle, dreary rain. So mostly I'd say.....

 

do the gears and lockers, being under geared is why your clutch is wearing out

 

Sounds exactly like my cook in terms of doneness! just way slower to get there haha.

I like the cold slices the next day. and I'm in for some nachos!

Glad the weather held. I was out there for 5 years (Kitsap/Bangor). I still remember the weather vividly

 

They are still gonna happen, just not in August like I was hoping, so I may be a 2x4 with a rear locker for a month.

 

hey fellas, hoping to have a garage again soon so ill need some essentials i sold off years ago. whats a great choice for a floor jack? dont want to spend ridiculous money but want a great, safe tool. suggestions??

 

Not HF.

 

Pulled the trigger on the hydro bering, heavy flywheel and stage 2 URD. Sucks, definitely wasn’t the little detour I wanted to take right now. Buy once, cry once and put it to bed and move on I guess.

 

@JimSnell has brisket down pat. jim?

 

Is pretty!

 

@JDAM do you know anybody else who would be down? I know @yeos mentioned he might be interested. @bobsuruncle @Nimitz

 

If it is open and none of you have a 5the I'd like to hop in

 

I'm gonna skip out on this one. I'm going to stick around in Eastern WA this weekend. Maybe when Gallagher opens up I'll join.

 

Still open, you’d make 3

 

Yesssssss

I'm here for the gangbang

 

Well then. Went a little too tough on some roads in Mt Loop yesterday it looks like. Probably when I got myself out of the mud pit I sunk into a bit.


Who has replaced their CV axles before, OEM or Oreileys? I know there’s a pretty significant price difference. Who knows may be able to just adjust the boot lol.

 

Cvjreman or OE

Oreilly cv’s are junk, i cant even count how many times I’ve shredded one. i do have one as a spare though

 

Yeah I figured as much, been wanting to do that for a spare as well in case this was ever worse on the trail. Looking at it I don't think this one shred so I may just get a new clamp and bag of grease. Hopefully that will do the trick. Now to get all the clay/mud off of the truck as well lol...

 

Im going to stick around here, my wife is in the last two weeks of her MBA plus working full time and is on calls like 12-16 hours a day 7 days a week

 

I'm gonna be going though nmy truck again before I go anywhere. I'm supposed to go out to fortune Creek this weekend.


Just rolling through Moses lake meow.


I'm loving these 4.30's tho
