It's my birthday, Getting up early to prepare a 7kg Brisket.

in #life7 years ago

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 man! Yeah the Huobi listing went live and lots of volume so far has came from it. We had a high about $5.20 but now sable around $4.15-$4.20.

Thank you! And these prices are pretty great!

Happy birthday @exyle, Wow it's great seeing today is your birthday friend. I wish you more grace and prosperity in advance.
I can see you are having a good time and knowledge from Fabio on how to prepare brisket with a simple salt and pepper rub.

Am sure so much fun gonna be there today, my regards to @bkdbkd and Fabio. Have a pleasant days ahead man!
