It just so happens I'm cooking a 15lb brisket on my 23" as we speak. I say this because I'm not sure it would fit on a 21", width wise. Big briskest, multiple racks of ribs, and so on, the 23" just gives that extra width. There isn't much relative price difference, I like the 23".

I just don't understand the original question.
There has only been 1 or 2 weekends over the last couple of years that I didn't kamado cook.

For the non smart ass answer - I know I'm cooking (for the Guru pepper challenge)
The Backyard Bistro Watermelon Crawl.
That is all I have planned but I'm sure I'll come up with a few more things.
I spent some time getting the rotisserie figured out for an up coming chicken;) So it was a late burger cook tonight. I ground a blade roast to make these burgers.
Ready to grill.

Ready for the bun.

Up close.
Time for a Saints koozie with a cold one in it. But I'll bet I'm late on that advice. I did one brisket with butcher paper and it was the best I ever cooked. Good luck!
It's a probe tree, so you're measuring the actual air temperature next to the meat and not the grate temperature (if you clipped the probe to one of the grate rods).

I use a simple DIY version. Old wine cork, bottom trimmed to fit between the grate rods, with a toothpick stuck in the top. Clamp the probe to the toothpick - viola! Note: use a real cork, not one of the plastic ones!!
I haven't lit a single piece of lump in over 5 weeks! Between being sick and starting this new business, I've met myself coming and going 4 different times ... this week!
Rob - I'm really looking forward to your finished brisket and your take on wrapping. All the best!
Thanks Tony! I've been cooking, just not posting them. I have to admit, my skills are the basic ones, I wish I was more rounded. I see cooks from ckreef, and others, I'm just in awe of how imaginative and thoughtful they are!! It just makes me realize I have so much to learn, but, isn't that the fun part?
