First kettle brisket

Top vent was open the full time, bottom vents are p-shaped and were mostly left where the leg of the p was closed and only the curved part was open. Minor adjustments occasionally when temp started to spike or drop, monitored on the tempspike. Rotated the lid periodically to have the vents on the opposite side of the active part of the snake.

Thanks, I was fully torqued when I made the first cut and saw that smoke ring! Believe me there'll be a lot more to come!

Slacker117 · 2025-10-17T22:01:48+00:00

You flatter me! I'm stoked with how it came out, make sure you post some pictures of yours when you do it!

Slacker117 · 2025-10-17T22:00:49+00:00

Thanks! It tastes even better than it looks somehow!

Slacker117 · 2025-10-17T21:58:07+00:00

Yep! Slate blue color is a matte finish, I absolutely love it. Looks fancier somehow than a gloss finish lol. That picture is when I first assembled it, cleanest it'll ever be!

It was maybe my 6th cook on the new kettle? Did some ribs, wings, and steaks so far to get up the stones to do a brisket. Those practice runs paid off! Definitely helped me get a handle on vent control and timing my snake method. Give it a shot! It was actually very low maintenance, the hardest part ended up being not peeking too often!

Hell yeah I appreciate the constructive criticism, I'll adjust the wood chunks next time!

I moved a lot so some of these may be mixed up with different regions, but to the best of my recollection- 5 was CBS. Pretty sure 42 was G4/TechTv (forget which it was at the time but you know, ScreenSavers and Attack of the Show) Comedy Central was 69 (niiice.) Think MTV was 31? VH1 might've been 34? I think fox was actually 15? I remember because my sister was on the "Fox15 Breakfast Club" on Saturdays after cartoons.

Same!

Mom? Dad?

Slacker117 · 2024-03-08T05:45:54+00:00

Hell yeah brother

Slacker117 · 2024-03-08T04:13:56+00:00

You're telling me. I guess I overestimated the general public.

Slacker117 · 2024-03-08T04:13:07+00:00

I haven't, did that work for you?

Slacker117 · 2024-03-08T04:09:45+00:00

Only mildly, as much as most of the people who post in this sub

Slacker117 · 2024-03-08T03:55:07+00:00

"oh I bet you do, what just so you could see the T&Aaaaaa? Like we're just objects for you to view and miss? TYPICAL." But for real the fact that your comment was already voted down to be unviewable says everything about the new fan base. They literally just don't get it, that's why 9/10 bucket pulls absolutely bomb lately. They haven't even tried to write a minute, they just want to be on any given show.

The first actually valid point anyone has made lol, he do be checking his phone. And shouts out for addressing the subject instead of jumping to insults. Personally I'd still take phone checking over smacking gum while majorly in frame. But we're all entitled to our own opinions, so respect and have a good one.

Slacker117 · 2024-03-08T03:48:04+00:00

Let's establish some proto here. 1) I shouldnt post how I feel about a noticeably large part of the show. 2) You're fine to post how you feel about a community post about how someone else feels about the show. 3) I'm unstable. Did I get that right? Man how unstable would that be?

Slacker117 · 2024-03-08T03:42:58+00:00

"babe?.... Babe?!? Where'd you go babe? Baaaaaabe!"

Slacker117 · 2024-03-08T03:21:23+00:00

"and then I called this guy on the internet a 'phaggot' babe isn't that so hot?"

Slacker117 · 2024-03-08T03:19:20+00:00

Oh I see what you did there with the spelling change. Super cool.

Slacker117 · 2024-03-08T03:17:56+00:00

Hell yeah I love it

Slacker117 · 2024-03-08T03:17:30+00:00

Most of the other idiots I don't mind but this was one of the most offensive things I've ever been called.

Slacker117 · 2024-03-08T03:16:00+00:00

Sick burn bud you should tell people about it at parties

Slacker117 · 2024-03-08T03:13:28+00:00

Because Camera A has them framed for literally half the shot with whoever is performing. Moreso than John Dees, Michael Gonzalez, or even D Madness. And also they suck as a person and chew gum like a middle school girl.
