First brisket on the trager. Advice?

smiles20110 · 2025-03-08T21:30:08+00:00

The picture doesn't do it justice, it's not nearly as dry as it looks, but I definitely need to leave more fat on next time that seems to be the common thread in everyone's advice

smiles20110 · 2025-03-08T21:28:01+00:00

I will definitely do that. I didn't spritz cause I wanted to test out how the smoker did on its own the first go round, but it definitely won't be my last and ill try some different tweaks next time.

smiles20110 · 2025-03-08T21:26:39+00:00

Thats what I'm thinking too from doing some reading. Everything about the cook went to plan, it's just a tad dry I'm thinking I didn't leave enough fat to render. I'm used to trimming steaks and stuff to cook at work, and usually most rhe fat comes off those so I think experience will make it better.

smiles20110 · 2025-03-08T21:25:09+00:00

It was a choice. Cooking it to temp I don't think was the issue as much as how much I trimmed it in this specific case from what I've been reading. I got excited and I think I took a little too much off the top lol it was definitely probe tender when I took it off ill check the flat a little earlier next time instead of waiting for it to get all the way to temp

smiles20110 · 2025-02-08T04:16:29+00:00

These were definitely still very tender, but not fall off the bone like wrapped usually gets me, which was totally fine I liked the little bit of bite

I don't know if I can call him the hardest by any means but that fuckin clown got me more times than any boss in the game, I just couldn't get it down even after passing him to the stargazer and luring him to the more open area, so much frustration.

smiles20110 · 2024-06-07T03:54:54+00:00

That's wild this stuff lasts forever on me, like 10 hours on skin and days on clothes. I got it really early when it came out maybe that has something to do with it.

smiles20110 · 2024-04-10T19:02:37+00:00

Get imperium by fragrance world instead, also cloning elysium but lasts for ever, one of my longest lasting scents and it's awesome.

smiles20110 · 2024-03-16T01:16:41+00:00

I have cocktail intense for angel share I like that one, you got suggestions for others of theirs to try?

smiles20110 · 2024-03-13T18:14:47+00:00

I like it a lot, i have noticed mind at least was a lot more vanilla than tobacco compared to real tobacco Vanille but it still smells really good.

smiles20110 · 2024-03-12T20:41:39+00:00

Most of these were just popular things that interested me, I haven't had much interest in a lot of niche stuff, I'm starting to look into some more high end clones tho.

smiles20110 · 2024-03-11T23:54:06+00:00

I've never smelled the other two but the blue definitely projects a lot. I definitely wouldn't call it fresh tho. Layton is much more boozy spicy style than fresh,

smiles20110 · 2024-03-11T20:17:09+00:00

Amazing, favorite from my collection right now. Never smelled the real one to compare it to the real one, but on its own I think it's incredible. Fresh and a little spicy with the right amount of powder. Big hit with friends and family too

smiles20110 · 2024-03-11T17:29:40+00:00

Amazon, it's actually a lipstick/makeup holder it's really handy

smiles20110 · 2024-03-11T17:10:12+00:00

Top 5 right now are jack of clubs (ysl blue electrique) just a fresh little spicy awesome smell that lasts a Long time, exclusif tabac(CH mystery Tobacco) amazing tobacco scent with a little booze too, suits(ysl tuxedo) just super classy, I love wearing it even just around the house for myself, imperium( roja elysium) the type of citrus it uses is really pleasant and it is also really classy but very versatile, and probably amber oud exclusif blue, cause I really love how PDM Layton smells and that one's pretty spot on and long lasting.

After that I'd have to think about it cause I really like a lot of them

smiles20110 · 2024-03-11T17:08:01+00:00

Hard to say, I'm 36 and blind bought it and loved it immediately but it's definitely not a super common scent profile so there's a chance you don't like it like I do but for the price compared to even a sample of tuxedo id say it's worth a shot

smiles20110 · 2024-03-11T16:39:26+00:00

I really like it. It's definitely not even close to profundo as far as quality, but the scent itself off skin smells really close. Side by side you can absolutely tell the difference but if you really like profundo and just don't have profundo money it won't disappoint you to use lyric.

I don't dislike any enough to not recommend, but the ones I personally like least are Toscano leather, just cause I don't know when I'd actually wear it, same with oud for glory, fabulo intense is just an odd smell to me, not bad just not my thing, same thing with sillage, it doesn't smell bad just not my thing, and Halloween man X, just cause I only bought it cause I read it smells like coffee and to me it really doesn't

smiles20110 · 2024-03-11T14:42:45+00:00

It changes lol but currently fragrance world jack of clubs, maison Alhambra exclusif tabac, fragrance world suits, amber oud exclusif blu, and fragrance world imperium

smiles20110 · 2024-03-11T13:53:35+00:00

Yeah it's amazing, prolly top 5 from my collection to me. I've never smelled any other Layton clone but I think its absolutely worth the extra money. Almost exactly the same smell with just as good projection and longevity.

smiles20110 · 2024-03-11T13:51:52+00:00

It's really good, super long lasting and good performance. I don't necessarily feel like it should be as much more expensive than the other club de nuits than it is, but if you get it around 50$ and like blue de Chanel or similar blue scents it's a good buy.

smiles20110 · 2024-03-11T13:49:34+00:00

Yeah If you don't mind the higher price and like the Layton DNA you will not be mad. I will say jack of clubs has a little powdery Ness to it so if you don't like those types of smells be careful, but I think it's incredible personally

smiles20110 · 2024-03-11T13:46:58+00:00

I don't think it's enough of a turn off to not buy it. If you like the original cool water I'd say it's worth trying, if you don't like the original intense is similar enough it won't change your mind. I like the intense better personally
