Brisket, Chicken and Pork Butts that were cooked to feed the brewers at
    the 2005 Mad Anthony Octobeerfest.


 

Injected Brisket

Rubbed Brisket

Hour 0 for the Brisket

The brisket is being put on the grill on top of the pork butts which have already been cooking for about 3 hours. This was before I realized that the grill extender I had made was too tall now that the placesetter was in place and the dome won't close. You can see the level of the nuts on the carriage bolts.

Lowered Grill Extender

I have now lowered the nuts on the carriage bolts so the dome will close.

Brisket after 5 hours

The brisket has been cooking for 5.5 hours and the pork butts have been on for 8.5 hours. They are getting ready for sauce.

Sauced Brisket

The brisket is now ready for plastic wrap and foil after having been sauced on the BGE for an hour.

Injected Chicken

We are cooking the chicken on a large BGE using a platesetter. This helps keep the flame-ups down and gives us a longer cook time.
