    Brisket flat attempt #2. Tips?

    Can I get away with cooking a flat without the water pan. Just figured it would help with extra moisture but I’d like a nice bark too. I see the pros don’t use water pans so would injecting this alow me to get rid of the water pan.

    First brisket, some issues and looking for advice

    Oh see I thought one was always figuring 190 to 200 deg IT was when it should be pulled and rested. Is there a cap as far as how high you wanna let the IT get after the meats been on say 12hrs or so. Like if I’m probing at hr 12 and it’s not there yet but IT is say 210 deg do I never want the...

    First brisket, some issues and looking for advice

    So for a larger brisket like the point half I have in the freezer i can wrap at 160 but the tenderness is the key at the end so if it’s IT at 190 or even 205 but not probe tender it needs to stay on.

    First brisket, some issues and looking for advice

    That’s what I’d say the finished meat looked like, lifeless and grey, more a tender jerky consistency than that super soft looking, juicy, pull apart meat I’ve seen made on you tube.

    First brisket, some issues and looking for advice

    Ok see I thought if I cooked it longer at 198 for a thinner piece it would’ve over cooked it. And so u believe that 5deg would’ve made it better? I ask cuz to me I’m like wow just that little bit of temp change could’ve chnsged the brisket so much.

It was tiny and I’m guessing the cut came from the end of the flat, it was also pre trimmed so it didn’t have a huge amount of fat on it to begin with. Once it thawed the meat was prob 3” thick...
