Apologies for the long post but in brisket, the details matter.
Don't apologize, this is great information. So you don't wrap it at all until you rest it?

After a 6 hr rest was it cold? I'm clueless on this kind of stuff.
No I had it wrapped in foil and towels and in an ice chest. It was still warm.

I’m glad I have friends that enjoy making brisket. As much as I love cooking, I don’t nearly have the patience to ever consider this.
I actually boiled crawfish for a large part of my cook so the people would come hangout with me while I managed the fire lol

It was 15 pounds. Thats not small.
While I also don't think its small, it was the smallest one at Sams. The others were around 20+ pounds. I bought this one for cost reasons. If I was gonna F it up, I'd rather save $30-$50. :lol:

wrong... you wrapped too early if you wanted a more durable bark.
Interesting. I was thinking the foil steamed the bark and softened it. You think it was solely due to wrapping early? The bark was a hard crust to the touch when I wrapped it BUT I feel like I touched only a small portion of the crust, I can't recall feeling it all over.
Smoked My First Brisket
Posted by Bert Macklin FBI on 3/2/26 at 2:19 pm
Smoked a 15 lb brisket over the weekend. 14 hour cook with a 6 hour rest. 7 hours on the Old Country Pecos with Post Oak wood, 7 hours in the oven once wrapped and then a 6 hour rest before slicing. Started the cook around 5:15 PM and wrapped it around 12:30 am. Pulled it at 7:00 am and sliced it at 1:00 pm. It had great texture, moisture, and flavor. All the fat rendered and it was tasty as can be. The only 2 things I was not 100% satisfied with were the crust and the tip of the lean side. The crust was a bit soft in spots due to me wrapping it in foil instead of butcher paper. The tip of the lean side was also a bit overdone but it was a minimal amount of the brisket. For a 1st try, I think I did about as well as one can do.

This is the most coherent guess I have read. This actually makes sense. Get up to like 230 for the combine and measure. Drop down to 220ish for pro day and run.

Well Ryan Clark is an expert in mental health considering he ruins the mental health of everyone he calls racist every time the wind blows.
re: LSU's ERA
Posted by Bert Macklin FBI on 2/25/26 at 8:08 am to TX Tea
LSU struggles to pitch early in every season. By May, Jay will have 10 guys he can rely on. We will roll out some relivers with ERAs in the mid 4's and they will pump strikes and make .350 hitters look dumb. Happens every year.

This feels like a personal vendetta against women for you. The recaps I’ve watched have all said she found an opportunity to raise her station.
Not to mention, they don't get divorced in Westeros when a woman cheats, they cut off her head. Seems like high stakes to play with if she just wants to be whore.

I guess I see it the other way around. This woman was a whore and she hit the lottery and will now be the wife of a high born. I just don't see why she'd contnue to sleep with other men for money?
Maybe I'm being naive but she'd be dumb to screw this up.

If they make it more than Maekar just accepting it and sending support then its a mistake. I get it if its just a "that little rascal" moment to enforce that Egg is unruly but if they intend to make it whole thing with Maekar hunting him down then I agree its a bad idea.

What purpose would that serve? Have you ever tried to tell a friend that the girl he is with sucks? It never goes over well. Also, who is getting hurt here? Raymund gets a nice piece of ace and the girl gets to stop whoring.

Yes it does. Thats Egg's character. He's sneaky and lies to manipulate people to get his way. Not in any type of evil way but in a "bad" little kid kind of way.

re: PSA: The Tooth Fairy gives $1 for teeth
Posted by Bert Macklin FBI on 2/23/26 at 3:09 pm to Salmon
Ours gives $5.
BUT
I will say my SIL fricked it up becuase she gave her son 5 gold dollar coins. So of course my son tells me the tooth fairy must be parents because it doesn't make sense that he got a $5 bill and his cousin got gold coins.

I think your overall point is correct. They just tried to wrap up the stories of every character and pint to where they are off to next.
