Final results are in per my wife and I:
Burnt ends, great flavor, the tenderness wasn’t there that I wanted but she enjoyed them a lot. The flat had excellent flavor and bend and pull results, but just a tad on the dry side. Overall for my first brisket I could’ve done worse but definitely will...
Right at 9 hours now and the flat is done and resting on the counter for a few minutes before it gets thrown into the cooler with towels. Burnt ends are probably 30ish minutes away from being done still.
8 hours in and hit 195. Separated the point and flat, wrapped the flat back up and put it back on the pit. Cubed the point up, out honey, killer hogs THE bbq rub on and smoke on wheels kc bootleg bourbon sauce on and mixed it all up to coat all sides. Back onto the pit, 275, check in 40 minutes...
6.5 hours in. Had to move the temp probe in the brisket as I think I was in a fat pocket. Moved it and double checked the temp to verify. All is well. Sitting at 183 internal right now.
4 hours in and just looked for first time. Looks great, developing good bark and color. I was mainly checking to see if I needed to spritz it with something but it doesn’t look like it’s drying out at all. I’ll check back in another hour to see where it’s at and if I need to wrap yet.
Thanks Al! Question for you. To make the burnt ends once the brisket is finished should I immediately slice the point off and then wrap the flat to let it rest, or should I rest the whole thing first then slice the point off to make the burnt ends?
I know in my previous post I said I’m going to run 275 but I put it on at 225. I am going to bump it to 275...once I wake up later. I’ve yet to run my pellet grill by itself over night and still a little Leary if anything catching fire by chance. Hence the temp probes. I set a high temp alarm...
And we’re off! Brisket on at 5 am, pit temp 225, and finally after almost a year I’m pretty excited to put my inkbird into-4xs to some real use. I stuck a temp probe on the grate on each side of the brisket to monitor which side is running hotter in case I need to flip it around later
Can you tell by the title what team I’m rooting for isn’t he super bowl?
Life long chiefs fan here (25 years old) so I thought what better thing to do while rooting for the chiefs in the super bowl for the first time in my life, is to smoke my first brisket this weekend. (Don’t worry we have...
Choice briskets on sale. Never done one but my work gives us a gift card to the place every year, figured what better way to start/learn, than buying 2 and it doesn’t cost you a thing!
Wood/charcoal
I’m not sure he has a budget. I couldn’t get him to purchase the pit barrel saying he didn’t need something that big/expensive. So if that gives you an idea
My step dad is wanting to get into smoking (again sort of)
He built a big air tank smoker years ago and used it a few times. He’s wanting something small to smoke on now again. He said he wants a brinkman smoke n grill. I haven’t been able to source one locally. Was wondering if there is...
Kansas both, raised, and still living here. GO CHIEFS!
I have no preference in the 49ers vs packers but I’d like to play the packers again, as chiefs lost to them earlier in the season, barely, but without Mahomes. Plus my brother in law is die hard packer fan. So I guess I’m leaning towards...
