looking good! Is that a clay saucer wrapped in foil? if so turn it upside down, it you have it the right way up (ie bowl opening facing up) they have a tendency to crack.

It is actually the ash collector from under the WSM wrapped in foil. Would a clay saucer work any better?

That could be a good laugh actually, why the hell not eh?

I'm really hoping I haven't f*cked this brisket.. bbq been running a lot hotter than it should have been! I made a good schoolboy error of the bbq probe touching the meat and reading that temp rather than the grill temp! :S
