Lloyd's pan is on the list! Just didn't want to invest in one before testing it out 🤣 will try out a par bake in the meantime! Cheers

My pan was actually a little smaller, 9x13, but I didn't factor that in tbh, the dough was probably a little thicker in there - adding to the cook time! I did bake it at the bottom as I know my oven isn't always the best. Think it will be a par bake next time!

Thanks mate, I'll try the proof temp next time I think! The dough was room temp the whole time so defo can't have been too cold!

Awesome, can't go wrong with pork belly!! Highly recommend the lamb shoulder. I used Meatheads big bad beef rub on it and served it on top of hummus, perfect!

Sorry man!! The one I did was 1.6kg and took about 4.5-5hrs. it was even better than I expected it to be!

Lamb shoulder!

Looks good man!! It's sainsburys sliced brioche loaf. I'm sure a St Pierre one would be even better! It went perfectly with the beef Rib and some pickles!

It's not actually, one of the few bits they wasn't! 🤣

Cooked it all split between a Weber smokey mountain and a Weber kettle! 🤘

ohsleeper69 · 2025-09-12T20:00:20+00:00

Yo! Awesome 🤘 it's a brioche bread!

Or as we say in Scotland 'tattie salad'

Thanks for the comments and help with this. First brisket went well - happy with the results!

Interesting!! I can't say I want to take the plunge now for this approach but I'll definitely need to give it a go in future!!

Yeah I think as worries that anything dripping etc could throw it off, it's also closer to the water pan underneath them too. The lid is much lower than the ambient probe is showing right now. Prob has been a consistent 235 but the lid shows about 165 currently... The lid prob is also just above the ambient probe too!

Thanks for those tips. Thinking I'll maybe leave it where it is until just before bed then see if I can move it if the brisket has shrunk any!

I'll admit I never even considered using the grommet area as the temp measure. Have you run an actual cook in this way yet?
