    Brisket - how low can you go?

    the pictures I posted were of beautiful, juicy and tender brisket...my first brisket ever. My mom said it tasted like filet minion. I'm guessing she meant the prime filet I cooked for her a week ago. If you're cooking at lower temperature, why would you think it would be dry? Probably would...

    Brisket - how low can you go?

    Brisket - how low can you go?

    I think I will put one of the thermometer slightly into meat at surface and the other in center. If surface seems close to 145 after the 1 hour supersmoke, maybe I’ll leave it there. Super smoke appears to fluctuate between 158 and 194 so if surface gets to 145, it’s not going lower after...

    Brisket - how low can you go?

    Smoke vs Food Safety. Baseline facts: Steaks/roasts/chops need to be cooked to a minimum temperature of 145 according to FDA (https://www.foodsafety.gov/food-safety-charts/safe-minimum-internal-temperatures) Speaking about safety, not tenderness Starting a brisket off at lower temperatures...
