I must admit I had a bit of a rough morning.
Yesterday we had great day in Rotterdam and it continued when we got home.
I had to get up @ 7am though today to prepare the grill.
It's my Birthday and I want to surprise my friends with something nice tonight.
I cleaned the grill and put in fresh coals while sipping my morning coffee.
An important factor in a slow cook is stability in the temp and a good preparation is half the work.
But even before doing anything else I got the Brisket out of the fridge this morning.
It can't be stone cold when it goes on the grill.
Just look at that!
I'm still not 100% how we will do this that's why I'm happy Fabio (@fabrews) is here to share his knowledge.
We are going to prepare the brisket with a simple salt and pepper rub.
Later we adding wood from old whiskey barrels to the coals for some nice smoke flavour.
Fabio just took out the bones (I had no idea that was needed).
I'm learning a lot.
The meat will go in half on hour and then ill stay there for at-least 8 hours.
Enough time to prepare everything else I'll need to do today.
I can't vlog today because of this but that's ok.
I just saw that The STEEM price had held beautifully overnight and trading has commenced on Huobi.pro too.
Pretty perfect start of the day!

What a way to start your birthday getting up at 7 am, but I guess for something of that size it makes sense to need so much time to prepare, and wow at-least 8 hours! Indeed Steem is holding up well, lastly Happy Birthday @exyle have a good one!!

Happy birthday @exyle wishing you many happy returns. Would love to have a taste of your food but am sure you wouldn't share... have fun
I hear they do good brisket in Texas. I enjoy the burnt ends. They are not really burnt but rather these parts absorb the most smoke flavoring. Have a relaxing day with your big green egg.
I hear they make the best Brisket in Texas indeed! It was a great day. Thank you so much!
Brother, your post is very good, so I gave upvote to you. Hope you always get such a good post from you.

My dear son I wish you a very happy birthday and I see you this afternoon.
I was up at 06.30 because Sam is staying with us. He slept through the night like a baby but was awake early, at least I thought it was still early, for him it was just morning. I send you a picture of him for your birthday. He made a huge tower (with a little help from Sjoerd).
Was great having you over! And what a great picture!
Happy bday dear @exyle. Enjoy your day and year ahead.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY @EXYLE!!!
GOD BLESS YOU
Happy birthday Exyle! Have fun!
