We visited some friends in Chicago last weekend, and our friend Andrew smoked a 13 lb. brisket to mark the occasion. He started it at midnight on Friday, and checked on it every 1 - 2 hours in the middle of the night. He had to rig a special cover during an unexpected downpour Saturday morning. And after 18 hours of tending and rigging and waiting, we feasted Saturday evening, and it was worth the wait. Delish! The accompanying BBQ sauce, jalapeño-cheddar grits, cole slaw and beer were pretty amazing, too. I wish I would have taken photos of Andrew and Meredith's house -- it's a row house built in 1898 in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood. They have been fixing it up for several years, and it looks awesome.
