@goosehd looks great.

Made some Spanish inspired food last night. Grilled swordfish with a smoked paprika, salt, pepper, garlic rub. The sides were Spanish tortilla with smoked paprika aioli, and a fennel/parsley/capers salad with lemon juice and good olive oil. All in all, a lovely, light summer meal! Highly recommended.

That looks great.

@Sage954 Thanks! It was fantastic. Light, clean, and satisfying

Opening the season.
The food here is just small addition after getting the black beauty to highest temperature first time this year.

nice work @Jett129. We made a full brisket up north and wrapped it in foil and put it in a cooler for 4 hours to rest it. Extremely juicy and tender. Don't skip the long rest.

Mrs. Seawolf was at a work event last night, so I made myself a nice steak dinner

[goosehd]

@Jett129 Looking very good! How’s your temperature?

[goosehd]

@seawolf Thanks for the idea for this weekend! I just may follow your lead.

[Jett129]

@goosehd So far so good slowly creeping up to 182.5,I may not have to wrap it.

[Jett129]

@goosehd Spoke too soon as it just started going backwards. Stay tuned.

[Jett129]

@jordanscollected I'm thinking I'm about an hour away from resting,but probably only about 2 hours.

[seawolf]

@goosehd This might sound crazy, but a little dab of dijon mustard on every bite of steak is so good.

[goosehd]

@seawolf I also like a good blue cheese slightly melted on steak

[Jett129]

In the end my brisket wasn’t that good. Not sure what I could’ve done differently. It was kind of on the dry side,even though my guests were trying to assure me that it was good. I thought it was kind of mediocre,and I definitely can and have done better.

[seawolf]

@Jett129 Been there! What was the grade of the brisket?

[Jett129]

@seawolf I’m not sure if it was Choice or Prime,but it wasn’t supermarket meat,and it came from my local butcher who I’ve been using for close to 30 years. As you can see in the opening pictures it was well marbled with a nice layer of fat on the top.The only thing I can think of is that my start temp for about the first hour or so was about 325 which is about 50-75 degrees more than I would normally start at. I thought that would be OK,but the temp climbed to about 160 pretty quickly and once my temp stabilized at about 250 it went slowly the rest of the way to 190. I never wrapped it.
