The brisket spent 11 hours in the smoker. A few more hours would have been good, but this was fine. We were hungry.

It turned out alright. Good flavor. Good texture. The Dillo Dust? Too much sugar for our tastes. Made things very sweet. Wife reminded me how good it tasted on roasted winter squash (acorn, butternut). But here? A little too sweet and not enough savory nor salty. Still, overall not bad. Oh, after about 3.5 hours I basted it with some Moose Drool beer and chopped onions (the onion juice is key), then loosely wrapped in foil.

Wife made some pinto beans, and a new cream spinach recipe. She also reports the brisket tasted great with her Becker Vineyard cabernet.

Good food. The laughter of my family. A fine end to the weekend.
