I'm planning on doing my 3rd brisket starting tonight. This time I bought an aluminum pan to place under the brisket. I've read on here that many place beef broth, onions, and garlic in the pan and let the drippings fall in to make a sauce to moisten the flat cuts. What would the best process...
Well, the brisket turned out really well. I ended up throwing it into a 170 oven for the final 2 hours, just in case. It was very tender and juicy. Here are a few pics of the results:
I did place towels on top of the brisket, not quite to the top. It is weird that the probe would spike all of a sudden with the lid never having been opened or the cooler moved in any way. It just went from one minute showing 169 degrees to the next showing over 340. I'm hesitant to go open...
Ok, now I'm seeing very strange behavior! For the last 3 hours the Internal temperature has steadily dropped on the brisket in the cooler down to 169, but about 30 minutes ago it spiked to 345 degrees! This happened without having opened the cooler or even touching it. It has dropped down...
Thanks! its now sitting at 169 in the cooler. I have a rack of ribs in the smoker, otherwise I'd consider using the smoker to keep it warm at a low setting. As it is now, would I be OK to wait to put it in the oven only when it gets close to the 140 mark? Or should I do it sooner?
I am in the process of smoking my second brisket on the MES 40. My last brisket was very stubborn and took 19+ hours with the IT sticking around 180ish. Well, my 2nd brisket I wanted to make sure I planned with plenty of time, so I put it on last night around 9:30 and by 11:00 AM this morning...
Sorry for the blurry pics. Everything turned out pretty good for my first time doing brisket and ribs. I probably could have taken the brisket out a bit earlier...the point cuts were very tender and juicy...along with most of the flat. The ribs were great too. I used Jeff's rub and sauce for...
I'll try and be patient until AT least 6:30 when I pull the baby backs off. There will be beer and other snacks to keep everyone happy! :) Thanks for all of the tips and suggestions!
