This thread is ridiculous. I want to host an event of some kind just so I can try to get some of y'all to cater. Good lord, people.

It was another Briskmas at our house this year. As always, dry aged beef from a local farm. But 2019's cut was a an absolute beast -- 20.5 pounds before trimming.





Even after I trimmed it, it was so big that I had to cut the thing in half and use my two-tier setup in the egg. And even then it was a tight squeeze because of the thing's thickness.



Didn't get any worthwhile pics of the finished product, but it was solid. The one on the bottom level -- which mostly consisted of flat -- didn't get as much smoke as I normally like, but whatever. If they'd have been thinner, I would've switched their places halfway through. But the point-predominant half on top was too thick to fit on the bottom. Oh well. (Also experimented with "pink paper" instead of foil for the crutch this time. No complaints. Figure it's probably cheaper and less wasteful in the long run so I'll probably make the switch.)
