    So, Last night, I put in on the Char Griller charcoal grill with side firebox. I had a fire going in the firebox with chopped mesquite wood. Smoked really slow for about 7 hours then set in a cold oven. I had am aluminum pan with water in it in the main chamber.

    We have had that 13" x 9" roasting for more than 30 years. It's one pan big enough to fit my meat in.

    Yeah, sorry. I’m with Nesikabay. Looks like it was wrapped in foil and steamed in an oven. I’m not trying to beat up on you, just calling it like I see it.

    Now, I am blushing.

    Not really. But I do like the brisket tender. Even a little pink in the center. When I order a steak at a restaurant, I order medium rare.

    But I knew a lady who like steak rare. Her own words, "I put the steak on the plate, I walk past the lit grill and I am ready. My steak "saw flame," however briefly."
