    First brisket

    You're living dangerously, briskets are rarely done on time.

    LET'S TALK BRISKET!!

    Well I have been to Franklins, in April, but after waiting an hour left when they told us it would be another 5 hour wait.  As far as how peppery it is that's typical for Central TX and is not unusual.

    My first brisket

    I have an old one I used at a recent family reunion and I was surprised how popular it was.  Those half a century old or older may remember the creator.  It was Walter Jetton, President LBJ's personal barbecue man. 1 cup tomato ketchup 1/2 cup cider vinegar 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon chili...

    First brisket...

    Sorry to hear it didn't come out like you want.  Hopefully you can at least make chopped sandwiches from it with sauce.

    First brisket...

    So you smoked it 9 hrs and got it to 187, it will take a few more hours if you cook till 200.  Then you can easily rest it 2 to 4 hours, longer if you wrap it in a couple layers of foil, then wrap in a beach towel or blanket and put in a good ice chest.

    First Time Brisket - Smoking Newbie

    Adam the smallest brisket I've cooked is 10 lbs so I'm guessing.  I can't control temps on my smoker either but try to keep them around 250.  If you haven't cut it yet leave it the whole 3 lbs, you are going to have it shrink anyway when you cook it.  A 1 1/2 lb brisket may cook under 2 hrs...

    First Time Brisket - Smoking Newbie

    Hi Adam,  sounds like you are smoking a small flat.  You're right you probably won't have to worry about left overs.  Flats can be difficult to cook in that they tend to dry out easily, so plan on wrapping after IT  of 150-160 degrees.  Average smoke time is 1-1 1/2 hr per pound at 250 degrees...

    First Brisket

    Hi nstoltzner, I have a few questions that may help figure out where things went wrong.  First what kind of smoker do you have?  250 degrees is not that hot, was this temperature measured on the included thermometer in the top of the smoker or have you added thermometers at grill level?  To cook...

    First brisket...

    After smoking I usually leave the brisket whole when storing and cut off what I need and reheat that, but don't see why you couldn't just cut that into meal sized pieces and store separately.  The main problem with reheating is it tends to dry out unless you add some moisture to it and it is...

    Using my xl egg for ribs today first timer, egg that is

    Have never cooked on an egg, but I would believe the Igrill thermometer more.  Also, the two thermometers are sampling 2 different locations, 1 on the grill (closer to the heat source), 1 on the dome so probably some difference in temperatures.

    Brisket - negative stall

    20lbs is a BIG brisket.  You could wrap it in foil and that will help it through the stall, otherwise keep putting heat to it and the temp should start climbing again.

    How to keep brisket after cooking

    If you freeze them be sure and allow enough time to thaw completely.  Both methods above probably work, but if you slice you  have to put it in some form of  liquid to keep it from drying out.  I prefer bmaddox method, reheat the whole brisket and then slice as close to serving time as possible.

    First brisket...

    Several questions in there, will try to help.  Cooking time, roughly an hour a pound, I cook on the hot side so run under an hour/lb, but some times can take up to  1 1/2 hr/lb.  The whole wrap while cooking question has lots of disagreement to it.  Search Youtube for Franklin bbq wrap test, he...
