I was talking with a friend of mine tonight about my brisket issues and it dawned on me that all of my brisket issues started when I began buying full size packer briskets from Costco. They've all been USDA Choice briskets.
My first brisket was a 6.5 lb flat from King Soopers and it was...
Well y'all been a long time since I have posted. I've had a lot happen in my life but I am hoping to be back at it again. I am firing up the pellet smoker and getting ready to slap a 20 lb trimmed prime brisket on it. The brisket is from Costco at $5/lb. I'll keep y'all posted as we go!
Kroger has brisket $3.99/lb last week. I bought 2, 1 for hamburger and one to smoke.
Ended up vacuum sealing 11 1lb packs out of a $45 brisket. The LEM #8 did a good job grinding after I put the auger and fixtures in freezer over night. Meat was pretty frozen too.
I asked this of my trusty digital buddy, Copilot:
I've never cared for brisket, and I've had it at many bbq joints in Texas. How come its so crazy popular with home smokers?
The AI response follows. I found it fascinating:
Short answer: because brisket is the perfect “project meat” for...
Normally I am not a sauce guy for brisket, but this weekend we are hosting a gettogether with some new friends. I have not cooked a brisket for them before so some of them might like a sauce on their brisket . Is there a good bottled sauce that you would recommend for brisket. I could make it...
Smoking a brisket for Father’s Day. I’m using 16 mesh pepper, course salt, lawrys and garlic. Pepper to other ingredients is probably around 50 percent. I like putting the left over fat trimmings in the smoker and rendering. I’ll pour it over the brisket when i wrap and let it sit overnight. I...

Pic heavy.
Smoked brisket in the pit barrel cooker.
Had to trim off the flat a tad to make it fit on the rack.
Nice to have an outdoor fridge to rest the meat while you wait for the cooker to come to temp.
Around 8 hours
Rested in cooler for about an hour and was still steaming when I went to...
Hi folks, Question for the community. I just picked up a 5# brisket flat listed as dry aged fresh from local butcher. My family doesn’t really eat much at all if any. So to justify spending $85 on a chunk of meat I plan to eat myself I would like to smoke it. Divide into serving size portions...
Had to start making some room in the freezer. Found a brisket point from a beef we got awhile back.
Decided to go hot & fast with this one.
Started the MB GS @ 300ºF and had the brisket on at 9:00am. ( plan was to start at 8:00 by things got in the way.) I let it roll for a bit, then probably...
My son wanted to smoke a brisket while he was over. Used Holy Cow to season. He trimmed it. Still needs improvement but he supplied the meat.
I cooked up a breakfast scramble while we fed the fire. 5 pounds of beef bacon is what we used Grandson likes fries so I used them for the scramble...
Brisket chili is one of my favorite uses for leftovers too. Brisket baked beans are another one—I like them because you don't need enough leftover brisket for another full meal, but even a relatively small amount adds a ton of flavor. I've also made brisket taquitos, brisket queso, brisket tacos...
Just pulled an overnight brisket( at 205F ) and letting it coast down before it goes in the oven at 150F to hold until dinner this evening. Didn't care much for the overnight thing, as I was stressing over sleeping through a problem, and as a result, got very little sleep. That said, it will be...
Searwood Brisket Failure
It’s a fairly long story, but it has a good ending.
I’ve used Webers for a long time – a Weber Performer, 18” and 22” WSM. I recently purchased a Searwood 600 and have enjoyed pizza, chicken, pork ribs and pork chops. I complained about lack of sear on the pork...
It’s my 4th cook on this smoker, it’s actually a little easier than I thought it would be. Today was hot n fast brisket, mostly hovering between 275-300. Saved somewhere between 5 and 8 hours over doing 225 overnight on the pellet grill.
12 lbs, trimmed, traeger prime rib rub because I had half...
Anyone ever done a hot hold on Brisket? Thinking of smoking one over night, rest at room temp until it drops to 170F IY then holding in my MES at 150F until serving.
Thoughts, suggestions or other ideas? I’m using a Kamado Joe so it’s always an adventure on long cooks. I worry about running out...
