    This smoke was extremely straight. I guess this brisket had a mind of it’s own. I placed on the smoker at 7:00 Friday evening and projected the finished time for around 1:00 PM Saturday afternoon. John Steinbeck moment, Best laid plans of Mice and Men.
    Needless to say this thing did not come out of the smoker until 9:00 Saturday night. I know what I will be serving for dinner tonight.

    Great shave, Joe. Sounds like that Prismatic shaved well for you. I have one new in the box that was intended for a grandchild. I'll probably make it part of a trade for another vintage straight. Enjoy your late blooming brisket! Have a great Sunday, my friend!
