Someday I will need a new top and some repair underneath. I have a few bubbles. Not bad for a 40 year old Iowa car. It's a wonder it's not part of a John Deere tractor by now.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well, it must be female because it’s lying about its age. It’s 50!Someday I will need a new top and some repair underneath. I have a few bubbles. Not bad for a 40 year old Iowa car. It's a wonder it's not part of a John Deere tractor by now.

Since Oceano Dunes ORV Park is still closed, I wonder what all those complainers in the village that neighbors it are blaming the dust filling there houses on besides the ORVs? Oh wait! It's Mother Nature doing it today. They won't say a single word about it. 
That seat is nice!!

Not much progress on the neon today since the fuel pump didn’t show up. I did get some new push-nuts and put the shields back on the tank.

After exposing the big ant nest under the ornamental rock pile next to the driveway earlier this week and letting the rains and time settle them back down, today I fed them their last supper of Andro granules. I have already seen them picking at them and even carrying whole granules back down their tunnels. They have no idea what is about to happen to them.

For scale, that big rock at the top of the first pic is about the size of a complete big block engine...and that’s just the part above ground.
Dang brisket is taking it's time, over 12 hours hmmm.... Hoping I don't have to oven finish it cause I don't want to turn on another burner/direct heat. I think sometimes the temp remains constant for a while, then shoots up.

What's the internal temp now. That was a dandy sized brisket? Wrapped now?
Yes I wrapped it after 2 boxes of hickory got it smoked. Internal is 170 ish. I also have a grill top that says temp is at 250 but I think that might be because it's closer to the end that the burners on. Holy crap do I want a smoker! Trager, home built, don't care : )

170° is medium well for beef isn't it?
It is but I don't think brisket works that way. Almost everything I've read and the few times it came out right, it was removed at 202 degrees. I've also seen remove at 190 degrees because of the rest time, temp goes up as you know. I've started the oven, may oven finish it, stable 225 degrees and it shouldn't taste any or much different.

Sounds good. I liked the look of that rub you used on it too 
If the brisket was smaller like I wanted, I could have placed it in the middle of the grill and had both end burners going and likely would have had to turn them down a bit. With the size of the brisket I could only run one, full bore and I think my surface temp and grill cover temp gauge are lying to me a bit.
Someone refastened the heat shield on a car,with drill tap screws. To the gas tank!! I had my fun replacing that fuel pump.
Not brisket. It will be as tough as a fan belt if you try to eat it now.
What's your cook temp?
