    first brisket

    Basher I meant easier in that it takes no extra work to cook both halves at once if you can put them on different levels of the grill.  There is no reason you can't cut the brisket in half, cook one half now and freeze the other half to cook later.  Kampmann that's what happens when you live...

    Brisket in the south

    Jon for a small brisket you can usually buy a flat packaged by itself.  The bad news is they tend to be much higher per pound, and often have little fat so easier to dry out.  Boykjo your chuckie dinner with corn and potatoes sounds delicious!

    I understand being nervous, it's our reputation at stake!  Where is Firestone?  My daughter goes to college in Colorado Springs so we get up that way every few months.

    first brisket

    Basher if you can make it fit it probably easier to cook it all at once, even if you have to cut it in half.  I prefer the flat, have tried a few things but haven't been happy with uses for the point yet.  Kampmann how did yours turn out?  Like he says there is always freezers and co workers...

    Brisket in the south

    Boykjo is a chuckie a Chuck Roast?  What you cooked looks very similar to brisket, good char on the outside, good smoke ring, probably tastes similar.  Looks Great!

    A little help please!

    Yeah HEB has good meat, and Kingsford is good charcoal.  Not sure why it would taste like raw bloody meat, is it under cooked?  If you are pulling them at medium rare, cook them to medium or even more before you take them off.  I've never been very good judging the doneness of a steak or brisket...

    Brisket in the south

    Hey Jon, good to have you here.  If you want to read a good thread on briskets, Danny started one awhile back called "Lets Talk About Briskets", its long as it has been added to over the year, but there is lots of good info in there.  Since you have a Weber Smokey Mountain you should be in good...

    A little help please!

    You already had some good suggestions, but I'll throw in my two bits and see if it helps.  As someone else said, what are you grilling on?  Gas is convenient, but I believe charcoal produces more flavor.  Can you list what is better about the steaks you get out?  Are they juicier?  Are they...

    20lb Wagyu brisket, cook time question

    Thanks for the pictures, I've never seen a Wagyu brisket before, that's one barbecue I would like to be at!

    First brisket, i got a few questions...

    I didn't really answer your question.  I vote wrap, for me it has help turn out a tender brisket.  You've probably heard wrapping in foil is called the "Texas Crutch", maybe so but considering the bad brisket I was ending up with it is a crutch I'll use till I get good enough to not need it.

    First brisket, i got a few questions...

    Like Mneelley said, Franklin wraps in butcher paper and it works for him.  Butcher paper is sorta the inbetween on wrapping, holds more moisture than nothing, but less than foil.  Some people cook it with the foil on for the last half of the cook and then unwrap it completely for a half hour to...

    20lb Wagyu brisket, cook time question

    I salute you for attempting to smoke such a large and expensive brisket!     There was someone on here a week or two ago smoking a 19 lb brisket and he said it was "taking forever" to cook, so I would go with the long estimate.  There was also a thread a few days ago where folks wrapped their...

    How to reheat brisket???

    I guess I'll be the dissenting vote, brisket shouldn't be sliced till right before its served.  When I have to cook a brisket ahead of time and travel a long distance, I leave it whole and wrapped in foil.  When I get where we'll be eating I heat the whole thing back up in the oven till warmed...

    Post 4th of July Brisket

    You probably remember right it being $2.19.  I'm in the Permian Basin, our prices are always a little higher than the same stores farther east, they expect all these rich oilmen won't mind.  That's terrible that brisket is so high in Florida, but you probably have much better access to fresh...

    Makes sense Demos, and I guess that's why those Yeti coolers are so expensive!

    First brisket, i got a few questions...

    That's really surprising you can rest a brisket (or pork butt) all night and still be hot.  Probably has a lot to do with wrapping it in that wool blanket.  I've rested a brisket wrapped in foil for 4 hours in a cheap cooler, it was still pretty warm, but I wouldn't call it hot.

    Post 4th of July Brisket

    If he got it for .97 cents then it was on some kind of sale.  I get my briskets from the local HEB and they usually run $2.50 to $3.  Last one I got was $2.47, cheapest I've seen in a long time.
