Just wanted to let you know that I'm back from my MUCH needed family holiday.. First time out of Indonesia since COVID started. DId four days in Paris, four days in Provence, four days in Venice and four days in Rome.. A great trip, my 16 year old daughter and wife's first time. Over booked the trip and ran myself ragged but lived. Produce was spectacular, but sadly most of the restaurant food was underwhelming.. I did not realize how good both the food in Bali and my house was.. Qatar airways was amazing and DOHA airport mind blowing.. the business class lounge was over 100,000 sq'.

Dennis do you use a warming drawer for that long of a rest? Or does it maintain a hot enough temp in a cooler to be safe to eat?

Very jealous. Also sorry I didn’t know you would be going to Italy. Dining well in Venice requires a lot of research - maybe even more than buying a KK. I would have sent this link to a trip report I posted on Slow Europe. https://www.sloweurope.com/community/threads/venice-dining-october-2021.6124/ Maybe for next time!

Two things.. I can't begin to tell you how much better an overnight rested brisket is.. My new minimum is 12 hours and as long as 18. Takes that long to redistribute the juices. I also add Wagu fat/tallow to the wrap and rest.. You can buy on Amazon in a big black tub. Just wanted to point out you have your basket splitter set up for a left-handed person..
