    A5 Wagyu boneless Ribeye - tips on cooking

    The A5 lived up to the hype. Was very beefy in flavor, cut with a butter knife and a nice experience for a new years eve/day inside. Tips for others: I love my beef rare. You need to cook this more to get all the fat to render. however, there is a fine line where you can see the meat just...

    A5 Wagyu boneless Ribeye - tips on cooking

    The brisket did resume a normal shape and turned out great. Tried Alabama white sauce for the first time and it was a hit with the crowd.

    First Brisket using 4.92lb flat

    I hit 160 by the mes probe and 155 by the maverick after 11 hours and 45 minutes. Wrapped in foil and increased the temperature to 260. I had a nice solid bark.

    First Brisket using 4.92lb flat

    Thank you for the input.  I will attempt to wait out the stall keeping everything as is.  for being a smaller brisket, this is taking longer then I thought.  I image the weather is not helping as with the windchill, the high today has been 5 degrees.

    First Brisket using 4.92lb flat

    So I have been stalled around 147 for a while.  It increased 2 on one probe (MES) and my Maverick probe went to 148 but now has dropped to 145.  Should I stay the course on waiting to 160 to wrap or wrap now?  I am getting nervous that I am trying my meat out

    First Brisket using 4.92lb flat

    Thoughts on if I should wrap in foil (aka the crutch). My current plan is to wrap in foil at 160.

    Smoked meatloaf (Jeff's recipe)

    I tried his recipe a few weeks back.  I also struggled with the role and felt like it had layers that should be mixed more.  Next time, I planned on mixing instead of rolling.

    First Brisket using 4.92lb flat

    Thanks Al. I will use that setup using a can of French onion, 2 beef Cubes and some water into the pan below the meat. It's only 5 degrees out so it is taking a bit for the smoker to heat up.

    new to smoking trying a brisket

    Did you season your smoker? Cherry is pretty common for briskets.  I am also doing my first brisket tomorrow.  Good luck
