  1. An old trick we used to do in BBQ competitions was to slice off a tiny portion of the brisket before we even seasoned it. This would tell us the grain direction after it was cooked when you can't really tell by looking. We'd do it on the flat only since it didn't matter on the point.

  2. That brisket looks delicious. The trimmings make it a nice colorful meal. How was the tenderness of the brisket? The reason I'm asking is that for some reason a brisket will be more tender if you slice it  against the grain instead of with it like you did.  Of course on some briskets, the grain goes one way on the flat and a different way on the point. But since you got the good compliments on it, I'd say you have a winner. Good job!

  3. When i see these i will post right away but these FREE one are only available for free the one day then they are charged for. I have several that have come thru also several cast iron cooking books.

    Tell your husband about this site too. They link straight to Amazon Kindle store when you find a free one. I love westerns too and this is where I get the majority of mine.

    I've been using this site for a long long time.

  4. Mine has only 3 holes, each was drilled with a 3/32" bit.

     

    My Texsport model is out of stock a lot, but it was the cheapest one that I could find. Also, don't get one with legs on it.

    And yes, the cool thing is, when the cook is over, you open the lid to find nice pieces of charcoal that you just toss into the basket for the next cook!!

    I was waiting for you to chime in on this thread.  You would have been quicker if they had reversed the title.

  5. I love that dark color! Congratulations on receiving it today. If the grippers aren't hidden in a box, there's no doubt that Dennis will make it right. You can leave him a message on the main site or just give a call. If he's not up, you can leave a message

  6. "The “no customer service discussion rule†benefits grill companies, and hinders potential customers."

     

    I can remember the ceramic grill company that invented that rule for their forum. You have that rule when customers start having a lot of issues and/or complaining that the service and parts to fix said issues is slow to non-exsistant. An honest company with confidence in their product and a company that fixes issues doesn't need that rule. Oh yeah, the company that started that rule starts with a P. 

     

    One of my favorite things to see a company do is to replace a defective part with an identical part that's just as messed up. A part like....oh, I don't know...a hinge maybe. At least one company still makes you pay shipping for replacement parts.  Under warranty! 

     

    As far as grills in general go...Steven Raichlen said in one of his books that some some of the best BBQ he's ever eaten was cooked in a hub cap overseas.  It ain't the arrow, it's the Indian! But it doesn't hurt to have the best arrow made either.
