    Reynold Wrap Butcher Paper

    Figured this would be a good place to post this away from my other post. I did a brisket for the first time Friday and tried to use Reynolds Wrap Butcher Paper and couldn't figure it out so decided to do the foil boat method. But when I took it out of the paper some of the bark came off on the...

    First Time Brisket

    You did hit on some points that are very helpful. I'm starting to hone in on some stuff I want to try on my next cook definitely not spritzing it is one of the big things I will hold off on doing. I cooked it at 225 to 250 the whole time I actually kept it in the oven at 170 to try to keep it...

    First Time Brisket

    Yeah I'm thinking the foil boat method along with keeping it in the oven for a while at 170 to keep it warm before I cut it dried it out. Think I'll use that trick to remember the way the grain goes or maybe I'll take a picture of it before I do anything to it. Got some tricks I'm going to try...

    First Time Brisket

    No I left the foil boat on it but that's all. Next time I'm going to try to a cooler or just let it cool at room temperature for an hour and cut it I'm cooking it a day before I need it next time anyway

    First Time Brisket

    I actually probed in a couple of places. It seemed to me honestly that it could've been overcooked because it was shredding but then the bottom seemed chewy like it got dried out.

    First Time Brisket

    Chris the methods I borrowed from Chud was a foil boat when it hits the stale along with cooling it down in the foil boat on a pan in the oven after you pull it and it reaches around 170 and turning the oven down to 170. I was just scared that maybe putting it in the oven that the bottom kind of...

    First Time Brisket

    Might be a bit of a long post but just got a pellet smoker and got asked to try to smoke a 17 lb brisket for a party. Got as much of the fat as I could off along with the silver skin. Threw some rub on it Thursday night to sit overnight and threw it on my smoker Friday at 5 PM. Followed the...
