Brisquet

[Jdc]

I am usually a kamado joe user but i also havé à kettle for camping. Is it possible to Cook low and slow on a 18 inches kettle or would i be better with a master touch?
Thanks

Welcome to the club @Jdc !!

If you are specifically asking about brisket, I'd suggest the Master Touch. A full packer brisket isn't too difficult to do on a 22, no accessories or modifications needed. An 18 can do a lot of things, but a whole brisket might be a bit challenging, without accessories or modifications.

I did this 12.35lb whole brisket on a Jumbo Joe, with Cajun Bandit Stacker. I put a bowl under the brisket, when I first put it on the cooker, to get it to fit. After shrunk up a bit, I removed the bowl for the remainder of the cook.





This last picture shows a whole brisket on a 22, without any modifications. There are two fire bricks in the foil, but those are not necessary.

Is it fairly easy ton control thé temp for thé low and slow or you havé to be checking it every half hour?

In my experience, once I have my cookers temp stabilized, I don't need to make many vent adjustments. I don't have a problem leaving my cooker unattended for 2-3 hours at a time.
