Hey all,
Have a 4.5 lb hunk of beef labelled as "beef leg" by the butcher. After taking it of the butcher paper, it looks like what I would call a boneless beef shank. It's definitely not round as all the round from the cow was cut into steak (and promptly used for jerky).
That being said...
It's actually very simple. Slicing thinner can cover up undercooked brisket (thinner meat is easier to chew). Slicing thicker will cover up overcooked brisket (thicker pieces won't crumble). Great little trick for home cooking. The problem with this thought in competition is that no brisket can...
Personally, I MUCH prefer ribs that don't fall off the bone. The meat is completely overcooked and mushy at that point. It sticks to the roof of your mouth. It's terrible mouthfeel.
Also, for the record, the KCBS really only suggests the pull test for brisket in it's judging criteria. No fold...
Hey all,
Sliced up a really nice eye of round 1/4" thick. 3 lbs against the grain and 3 lbs with the grain. See which the boss likes better.
That being said, the recipe I used was as follows:

Thanks again all for the advice. Brisket turned out great! Everyone was happy and enjoyed it! Really stood out. 13 lbs out of the packaging, 10 lbs off the cooker when done, 1 lb left. Goes faster than you realize....
Was not 100% satisfied with the crust after wrapping it for 2 hours, BUT it...
Thanks all. Got it sorted out. It was just a nice crust forming. Came out of the cooker like a meteor. Pretty sad state of affairs when the look of a proper crust makes you doubt yourself eh?
Thanks everyone! So far turning out great! If you saw my other thread I had a concern about the crust being carbonized from fat dripping to coal and flames coming up but people have assured me everything is well! I am hoping this turns out great! It looks great and smells great so far. Thanks...
