The brisket is beautiful, AJR. What was the trimmed entry weight?

Started out 13.5 lbs.  I'll bet I trimmed off about a pound of fat. 

Checked it about an hour ago, holding at about 160 in the cooler.  I plan to transfer the flat to my oven at 150, and cube up the point for the burnt ends in the next 40 minutes.  Hopefully the flat doesn't dry out.

Nice, Tony! I use a pimento chip and leaves packet as well when I do jerk. Long ago, I could get pimento sticks but they have become stupidly expensive to import over the last decade.

I have used the Boston Bay rub (obtained after you posted one of your jerk cooks a while back). I’m now using Carib Dry Jerk seasoning mostly. If you feel curious, you might give it a try.  It uses Jamaican spices (escallion, scotch bonnet, pimento, and thyme).

I’ll have to try the Jah Love sometime.

I originally got my pimento sticks and leaves on Amazon, but they've been out for a long time now. Just discovered another source on ETSY. Prompt shipping (within 24 hours of placing my order), but it will take about 3 weeks to get here from Jamaica (Agriculture Dept usually does a quarantine upon entering the country before releasing the shipment.)

Will have to check out the Carib Dry Jerk rub. Thanks for the tip!

Last night's dinner was grilled salmon, with Everything Bagel seasoning. Trick was to rub the fish with Duke's Mayonnaise first! Helps keep the fish moist. Direct, main grate, 325F. Foil packet with alder wood chips and pellets.

Plated with red potatoes roasted in duck fat in the airfryer, with sautéed green beans with a nice shallot vinaigrette. I got 3 shishito peppers off my plants and grilled those up for a tasty appetizer.

The 2nd piece of salmon got shredded and mixed into some nice scrambled eggs with Boursin cheese for breakfast. Sorry, too early in the day for foodie pics.

I’ve been working my way through about 20lb of Wagyu striploin that my dad gave me for my birthday last month and although I usually enjoy a thick steak, these are too rich to eat too much in one sitting.

It’s Thursday night here, so I part froze- 45 min in the freezer and cut these thinner.

They are cut about 8mm thick.

Salt and peppered only and now resting in the cold room on a rack so the air can circulate.

If I was feeling as brave as Tekobo, they could sit and dry age in the cold room for a few weeks. I am not feeling that brave, and have eaten porridge and vegetables today so they can be savoured tomorrow night after golf at Noosa Heads.

 I’m thinking of hot searing them down low on the KK with generous wood chunks for smoke..... unless you have other suggestions?
