What won't we do for good BBQ?

Answer:

1. Sit by the smoker for 12+ hours
2. Constantly check temperature, and adjust accordingly
3. Spritz, mop, flip, foil, etc...
4. Spend an incredible amount of time preparing, then cleaning, the smoker.

What we actually do for good BBQ:

1. Focus on a little killer prep work for the meat
2. Put it in the smoker and set the temp
3. Get on with better things to do, like play golf, music, go fishing, take a nap, etc...
4. Pull it out, when done, and ENJOY!

Gotta love some Lazy Q! ;D ;D

Looks great Tony!

Makes me want to smoke a butt.

Sam's has some Rubbermaid containers 6 qt sold in a 3 pack for $12.98. Plus you can go to some of your local restaurant supply stores and get something from them. I have a C size Lexan that works great for all sorts of things. Lots of good items here at this site www.webstaurantstore.com/search/lexan-containers.html

Those should be great brining containers, Paul!  And the price is certainly right!

I actually bought these from Sam's club a while back. They are nice size for small items. I needed a bigger container for my brisket. I got the bigger container for free from Sam's club. They gave me a whipping cream container from their baking department when I asked for it.  I attached the picture. I also used a 2.5 gallon baggie around the brisket to cut back on the amount of brine I needed to make.

I think I could have fit it in my fridge with some re-arranging but I might have put it in the garage that night because it was like 0 outside and about thirty something in my garage.

Looking good (Tony) good idea and you certainly can't beat the price. Keeping it in the garage won't work for me though as it got down to a balmy 63° last night and going to around 80 today.
