It’s Labor Day weekend and decided on not having a cookout or planning on going to one, but I really want something smoked! Couldn’t decide on pulled pork or brisket, but I wanted to smoke something this weekend. Went to the store, almost bought BOTH, but decided on just smoking a full brisket this weekend.
Here it is in the package 13.87lbs @ $3.48/per lb. Not great for the area, but not terrible either based on the way beef prices are going!
Trimmed it down to probably about 12-12.5 lbs and then injected it and off for a nap for a few hrs. I’ll pull it out later this eve and rub it down then on the smoker.
Update...
On and smoking...
Stalled @ 165* f. giving for 40 min straight, was thinking about no wrap, but I'm giving it an hour more to move the needle any or its getting the wrap! Maybe I'll just split the point off and wrap the flat....hmmm so many options...
More to come...
