Dads Day Brisket

[civilsmoker]

Ok this cook was just for me……. Had a mission to have some meat jello for Dads Day….. just love these point cuts vs the whole packer

Did a 1/4 inch fat trimmed, 45 degree score (allows more rub surface area and bark), and heavily seasoned up with my 13 spice rub…..minced the trimmed fat to render for basting….

Doing this cook on the RT 1250 @ my usual 265 fast cook… point on the top rack fat under….

Progress shot……about 3 hours in…..dad is a happy camper!!!!

Thanks rafter! No rain but 25-35 mph wind and 50 degrees…..was going to go for a mid day hike but that got tabled!!!! May just have to tinker in the shop!

We don’t have much wind, but as said we have been getting the rain! A hike sounds awesome, but a day in the shop doesn’t sound bad either… enjoy your day bud!

Did a hike (4 miler) up by China point on Friday……could see past AF to the west and past BF on the to the north…..killer day and view! Oh yea a day I. The shop is a nice consolation prize.

I guess great minds think alike. I'm making a brisket also. Yours look fabulous!

I'm predicting that's going to be good. I can occasionally find points, but usually do a modified butterfly method to make the thickness more even, and so they lay flatter.

Thanks mn and Oh yes….. I’m betting there are a whole bunch of briskets being smoked up today

I like your confidence thirdeye! I have done the separation and butterfly as well but we are lucky to have a place that base the points in stock daily. 29 bills for a 6 lb point…..I always get the best combo of marbling and uniformity. This one was “right on the money” for both……will be slicing in about an hour…….I’m getting hungry!

 

[civilsmoker]

Bingo jus some simple sides since we did a decant meal last night……. Oh man tasty tender and simple!!!! I’m stuffed!!!

The money shot!

 

[thirdeye]

Woah, there you go.... fantastic. We're doing steaks, pilaf and some street corn tonight.
