So you are planning on a 6-7 day brining?

Any chance of sharing what your brine consists of?

Not a brine. I slit the plastic on the meat side lengthwise, almost end-to end. Turn over and drain the blood.
Reach in with a sharp 2-pronged fork and poke it until I get tired without going through the plastic.
Big pile of Fiesta brisket rub, garlic salt, cayenne pepper, and lemon pepper. Reach-in and rub it proper.
Pot on a hot-plate. 1/2 big white onion, diced garlic pod, half bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's, 4 oz of olive oil, half bottle of Kraft zesty Italian dressing. Bunch of pickled jalapeno slices and lime slices. Whatever else is around!

Boil till onions are mostly gone. Have someone hold the slit wide and pour the mess in.
cold brisket with hot sop sucks it in. reach-in and spread it around!
Let it sit a week in the fridge crisper and pour a beer in on the last day.

Put it on the pit, Fat up, pour the sop over and go 235 with an onion and a few garlics tossed into the fire after an hour or so.
Build-up the wood, choke it down and go to bed after getting drunk.
Wrap in foil the next morning and build the fire back-up for a few more hours.

Texas. We do it somewhat different?

Having fun.

2 meatloaf

One over carrots in a pan and the other wrapped in bacon over the top.

Then some potatoes over that.

having fun and we will see how this turns out!

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Both meatloaf turned out tasty but the bacon was mushy not crisp.

The smaller potatoes were done but not the larger.

The carrots were similar but I like crunchy fat infused carrots................

Overall a fun experiment!

In case anyone thought I was kidding........



Now the whole shop smells delish but I have to wait almost a week to put it on!

Looks mighty good already Tom!
