So I stopped at WalMart on my way home tonight after being out of town all week. I decided to try another brisket. My first and only one before was on the ECB. I didn't trim it at all and broke it up to fit the ECB. I trimmed this one alot. It was 11.92lbs before trimming at $1.86/lb so it was $22.17.
I was planning on putting it on tomorrow night for Sunday until I sat down and started watching last night's BBQ Pitmasters. 15 minutes into the show I paused and started the brisket..
I'm being very experimental. I injected it with beef broth with a little bit of rub mixed in to play with keeping moisture. I used a McCormick Steak Rub mixed with a little bit of their Sweet & Spicy Rub on the outside.
I'm going to cook at 220 and spritz with apple juice every couple hours. The first one I did I mopped with a butter/water/rub mixture every 1.5 hrs.
Oh, and smoking this one with apple, did the last one with mesquite.
Pictures coming..
