4AM Brisket in the MES with Que-View

quedawg · Aug 2, 2012

Good morning folks. I decided to get going early with a 9lb brisket in the old 40 inch MES. I trimmed my brisket and rubbed it down with my own blend brisket rub. I wrapped it in plastic wrap and put it in the chill chest for 24 hours.

I loaded up the A-Maze-N smoker with a mixture of mesquite, oak and crushed Kingsford.

Nice start...keep us updated, especially with the finished brisket.

I will post another photo once I have it sliced up.

I've never seen anyone put crushed kingsford in the AMNPS, tell me more about that, what does it do and how does it affect the burning of the pellets? Is it just regular charcoal?

quedawg · Aug 2, 2012

It's just regular old Kingsford. This is actually the first time I've tried it. I'm hoping it will help with the formation of a smoke ring (that's the theory at least). So far, it doesn't appear to have affected the burn of the pellets at all.

glocksrock · Aug 2, 2012

Very interesting, keep us posted on how the charcoal affects everything, and of course qview of the final product.

I just took it out of the foil. I'm going to put it back in for another hour or so to firm it up. Then it goes into the cooler for a little nap. Then is slicing time!

Hey Will that is some nice looking Brisket. How did the charcoal work for you ?

Here is the finished product. There was a hint of a smoke ring and the flavor was pretty good.

I will need to check those out.

Wow! That's a great looking piece of meat. I've yet to work up the nerve to try a brisket, but posts like this certainly help.
