Party for my daughters birthday today. Shes 4 now.

16lb brisket and (2) 8lb butts

Image

Moinks are made and waiting

Image

Butts are pulled and in the cambro. Took 12.5 hours at 250. Brisket needs a little bit yet. Going to pull it soon and cut off the point for some burnt ends. Just lit the other keg for the moinks

Image

Image

Also having 7 layer salad, mac n cheese, baked beans, cole slaw, and fruit salad.

Everything came out great. My burnt ends could have used more time in the keg but I only had 2 hours. They were still good though. Got one butt left but that was by design. Brisket is gone.

Brisket done

Sliced brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork, moinks

Mac n cheese and beans

Fun was had by all.

Great looking 'cue Vindii, I know from personal experience how much work it is to put together a cook like this. Good call on the spare pork!

You do any competition BBQ?

Thanks for the comment everyone.

I haven't done any competition cooking yet but I went to a couple last year to watch and I'm thinking about entering a couple this coming summer. I still need some practice though. I think it will be fun though.

Vindii I have done a couple KCBS comps as head chef. It's a ton of fun and with two keg cookers you're well on your way to having enough equipment to pull one off. PM me if you have any questions.

Thanks. I may have some questions as I get into it more.

I think my first goal would be just to have the 4 different meats cooked and ready to turn in on time. Keep it simple to start with. :D

Yeah, you do: the colour of the brisket kinda sucks. As a personal favor I'll dispose of it for you. I'll pay shipping.

Oh my giddy aunt --- one cannot fathom what will be done when the poor girl reaches her teens if you are cooking up a fine spread like this when she is only four.

Hope she and the family had a wonderful day

by the way I am with Massimo on this I really do think that brisket looks a tad over done, if you ship it this way I can make sure for you :wink:
