Got a kamado - sort of like a big webber, but made out of ceramic.

Holds heat and can cook at low temps (100 odd) for slow stuff - 15 hour cook from single load of charcoal, to high temp (500+) for wood-fired pizza.

Brisket needs the low/slow style to break down all the collagen in the muscles and turn it into dissolve in the mouth flavour - even then it's a fine line between tough/perfect/dry ;) Each cut will find its sweet spot when it's ready, not at a specific temp.

The charcoal you use as fuel doesn't add any flavour or "smoke" so you add some chunks of wood (or chips or pellets etc) to make the smoke that adds the extra touch.Different woods go better with different meats - am trying a melalucca?? this cook that was chopped down from my back yard (meant to be good for beef)

Am keeping the cooker on about 115 overnight and am tipping it'll be ready for taking off between 8 and 10 tomorrow. From there I'll wrap it in foil, then towels and put it in an esky til time to cut it up. Will still be piping hot, and the few hours resting is required for it to complete the cooking/tenderising.

Tree was a melaleuca

Back yard (at least the part where the wood chips are now) was overgrown with elm trees that had grown out of an old trailer load of wood chips

Was smoking my meat
