First cook ever!

Recommended Posts

So I finally broken her in.  My first cook ever not just on my 19”TT KK but on any Komodo.  Considering the high gusty winds and cold weather we had that weekend I’ll take it.  I didn’t take hardly any pics because I was so focused on everything else but...ringing in my ears was “if there’s no pic it didn’t happen”. 😄. So I took a couple.  Two weekends ago I did a brisket and rack of baby backs...this past weekend half a pork butt and another rack.  All was delish but the brisket point was a creepy stringy texture even though I thought that I cut against the grain...looking at the pics I guess not!  Anyway...here’s some pics.  I’m just a padawan but it’s fun learning! 😄

Congrats and welcome to the dark side!

From the pic, it looks like you cut the point with the grain. The grain of the point runs more or less orthogonal to the flat, so you slice it 90 degrees from how you did it. There used to be a great online tutorial with pics on slicing a brisket. Will see if I can locate for you.

Looks good dr2be, cooks and bbq layout were nicely done. I think down the road the wires keeping your cooks alive will be replaced with a simple thermometer.  Tools are fantastic to monitor and ease your cooks but in the end it's time and temp and a good eye. I'll take one ribs, please.
