Brisket Help ( please)

porkaholic · Nov 7, 2011

I may be a little late for the party on this one but here goes. I did my first brisket flat this weekend. Put Jeff's rub all over it and put it in the smoker at 240. It took 10 hours and came out very good. Jeff's rub did not make it hot. I make that rub according to the directions and the brisket tasted wonderful. Again, no noticable heat. Smoked fat side up, did not foil and did not check it until the IT was 197. Covered and let stand for 2 hours.

Porkaholic , I use Jeff's all the time and I agree with ya , ( no heat) But the brides family ....thinks it way to "Spicy' " I mean these people don't even use pepper on their food !

Guess that means they really would not have liked my chili that I made this weekend. Smoked pork loin (with Jeff's rub), smoked hamburger all the other fixins and yes, some more of Jeff's rub just to top it off. Hope you have success with the briskets and with pleasing everyone.

Wow , I like the sound of that Chili ! ( gonna have to try it )

Well Ya know what they say ..... Ya can't please everyone ..........

That's why I figured I would do two ...... AIN'T no way I wanna make a bland hunk a meat , or disappoint all the others who love my Q This way there will be two ....and a big old bowel a BBQ sauce that is Carolina tart with a lot-ta heat , and flavor so when the " Jeff's Rub Brisket is gone ...they can dip the mild one ......I'm also looking forward to seeing which one get eaten first ...and coments on the other .

OK ........Here I go .........................

I picked up two briskets this morning both 4.5 LBS nice caps on both

Brisket #1

Jeff's rub, but this time instead of just adding the ingredients in a bowl and stirring them up ...I put um in a small coffee grinder and pulverized um into a baby powder ( I saw this somewhere on the forums)

Brisket #2

Ground up some kosher salt , pepper , onion powder , garlic powder rub it first with Worcester , and couldn't resist to try something not on the plan I injected some Worcester sauce ........

Both sealed up and in the fridge to rest a bit and now to go get my wood chips....

I'll be starting the smoke early Saturday morning , and Q-View all the way ....right up to the wedding , and report back with which one got eaten first , and how the milder "not spicy ( still don't get that comment , but what the heck) went MORE PIX TO FOLLOW !

Finally going to join in on this one. I have just been sitting back lurking on it

You may want to consider a Prime Rib seasoning. Not my thing to buy store bought but most store bought seasoning preperations are designed for the masses and thus are very middle road.
