Hello,

Items I’ve seen include:

- shredding tools
- brisket knife
- instant read thermometers
- end cut butchers board

- Apron w/pockets (brands?)

I have:

Thank you all
Missy

Here are a few of the items from your list:

Paper - Amazon has a bunch. Just make sure you compare width and length. I usually get 18” wide.

Foil - Kirkland (Costco) heavy duty foil by Reynolds. One roll will last you quite a while.

Drip bucket liner - I use these LINK Others use spaghetti sauce jars and some just put foil in the drip bucket.

Gloves - I use nitrile gloves with cotton liners if I need to. You can get them on Amazon, Walmart or even Harbor Freight.

Brisket knife - I have a couple fancy ones but default to my Dexter or a cheap First Street knife from a local supply store. I wouldn’t sprang a bunch of money on a brisket knife until you feel like you are missing something.

Instant read thermometers - I have a cheap $15ish thermometer and a Thermapen Mk4 my kids got me for Christmas. The cheap one is just as accurate but a couple of seconds slower. I do use the Thermapen most of the time but keep the other as a backup. If you go Thermapen wait for a sale. They have them fairly frequently.

Cooler - I use a Coleman Stackable LINK

Benzomatic MAP gas torch from Home Depot and a flared sear head from Amazon. https://amzn.to/34xv0ze

This will sear at a much higher temp 3200 degrees quicker which is better for a reverse sear, like restaurants do. You use MAP gas which burns clean and you won’t get ANY aftertaste from the gas.
