Ok, so I drove around town to the local big box grocery stores to see if I could get 'em to grind up some brisket for me. None even had it in their stores. Kept getting the answer "we can order for you". Sorry, I couldn't wait that long! I wanted to try out Brisket Burgers. Anyhow, I just got some ground beef and chicken* instead.

So, got 7 burgers, and 6 drumsticks going right now. Perhaps later I'll post some before and after pics.

*This is completely off topic, but is the CS Chicken Rub meant to be sprinkled on like Salt & Pepper, or applied heavily? Yes, I tasted it and it was fairly salty and spicy, so I just sprinkled it on. But what I don't know, is what it will taste like after its been cooked. So what is it, heavy or light? Does this apply to the Brisket, and Rib rubs aswell? (Haven't tasted those yet)

Thanks OV1; I just took the chicken off and tasted it. Glad I did go lightly!

Its fantastic. Not much smokiness, but thats probably because I didn't let it stay at a low temp for very long. Possibly, also because of placement, as you can see in the pics.

You can view the picshere. The new pics are the last 5.

First thing I have to say is that pit is way too clean. LOL.
Go light with the spicy chicken rub. I cut mine 100% with brown sugar to offset the salt. This works good. You can lay it on heavy just as it is on big pieces of meat. Congratulations on your new cooker.

Chicken and Rib rubs are spicy. Brisket is not. You'll need to determine how much. In ALL rubs, they will lost some flavor after cooking and almost never taste the same cooked as straight out of the bottle. That's the fun part of this, now that you have the FE, trying to figure out recipes. Big Grin
