Just hit 200 briskets on my old offset smoker

I started keeping a little notebook by the smoker back in 2018, just a tally mark for each one. I pulled number 200 off the grate this morning, and it hit me how much quieter and slower the whole scene feels now compared to when I was just trying not to burn the first few. Does anyone else get that shift, where the big numbers just start to feel normal?

Your notebook must be a nice record, but my count would be higher if I included all my practice briskets.

That's so true, it's like how people only count the miles they run outside, not on a treadmill. The practice stuff is the real work, even if it doesn't make the final list.
