    Catching Brisket Drippings

    Thanks James!  That's what I was thinking.  How much broth should I start out with in the pan to make sure it doesn't all evaporate?

    Catching Brisket Drippings

    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...

    2nd Brisket Keeping it Warm Question

    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:

    2nd Brisket Keeping it Warm Question

    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...

    2nd Brisket Keeping it Warm Question

    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...

    2nd Brisket Keeping it Warm Question

    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?

    2nd Brisket Keeping it Warm Question

    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...

    Mustard vs EVOO vs Worcheshire UPDATED with Q-View

    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...

    Mustard vs EVOO vs Worcheshire UPDATED with Q-View

    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!

    Mustard vs EVOO vs Worcheshire UPDATED with Q-View

    Thanks man!  I have family and friends arriving soon...I'm guessing it wouldn't be recommended to pull it before it gets to 190-195?, or should I just try the probe test if it hasn't budged by 6:30 or 6:45 and see if it goes in like hot butter.  By 6:30 it will have been in the smoker for 19 1/2...

    Mustard vs EVOO vs Worcheshire UPDATED with Q-View

    I had hoped to have it ready to eat by 7 PM, but not sure that is going to happen.  I want it to rest at least an hour in a cooler before cutting.  I plan on pulling the baby backs off at 6:30, following the 2-2-1 method.

    Mustard vs EVOO vs Worcheshire UPDATED with Q-View

    starting to get a little nervous.  The brisket has been on for 17 hours now, but the IT is staying around 178-180.  I moved the probe to another spot, and it also shows 178.  The probe went in pretty easily, but since I have no experience, I don't know if it should go in any easier?

    Mustard vs EVOO vs Worcheshire UPDATED with Q-View

    is it normal when opening the smoker to put more meat in for the IT to drop? My Brisket was sitting at 185 and it dropped down to 178 after opening to put in ribs. I did not remove the probe when I did this. It has risen just to 178 in last hour.
