    Leftover brisket burgers

    I had some leftover brisket from the other day, but none of us were in the mood for another dish of brisket. With the leftovers, I cut it thick, heated it then shredded it. Mixed it in with a couple pounds of ground beef, added a little spice and made burger patties. Tossed them on the grill...

    YABF (yet another brisket failure)

    I think you just nailed everything I need to do. Cut less fat, fat cap down (mine is bottom heat) and just trim on my plate!

    YABF (yet another brisket failure)

    wow thanks for all the great info, all of you! I wanted to post an update. I took the leftover I had, and put it in the oven at 250, wrapped in celophane and then wrapped in BP. I brought it up to 205. I have to say it was SLIGHTLY juicier than the first run! Im guessing I didnt cook it long...

    YABF (yet another brisket failure)

    Absolutely no insult taken, and yes definitely cutting cross the grain. I usually cut a corner of the brisket before putting it in the smoker against the grain so I can continue that line after its done. Sometimes when you take it out its tough to know exactly the grain direction so I cut the...

    YABF (yet another brisket failure)

    I started with the built in thermometer in the cooker and figured that was exactly the issue, so I bought a new wireless one and have the same results.

    That may be my problem then, just not leaving it in there long enough. Is 200 IT too early? I can test this easily, I froze half the last brisket, I can reheat it to a higher temp and see if it is moister.

    YABF (yet another brisket failure)

    I can live with a softer bark if it meant I had moister meat, thats a good idea, I will try that thank you. I have tried smoking at 175, but it cooks too fast and is too tough in the end. I can also try for a more marbled cut. Ill go back to the butcher and ask. Am I right thinking that if...

    Hi all. Been a member here for quite some time, and have done a lot of reading here and other places. So believe me, asking this isnt on a whim its after a lot of reading and trial/error. In a nutshell, my briskets are coming out amazingly flavorful but amazingly dry and I cant seem to fix that...

    Is my bacon ok?

    I had my pork  belly curing for the last 15 days in the bacon brine thats so popular here. Mmmmm. Anyway, I took it out of the brine tonight to wash under cold water and I noticed it was a little slimy. It smelled fine and the meat itself felt fine, but the liquid seemed a little slimy. Is that...

    Did I just waste ingredients?

    Thank you sir. Thats the way I was leaning too. So far the ingredients in it are cheap, no sense risking it all. Thanks for the confirmation.

    Did I just waste ingredients?

    I was just about to make a new batch of bacon using a recipe I got here and changed slightly to suit my taste. Its delicious! Anyway, tonight I was making my brine and needed 2 gallons of water so I used the proportionate amount of other ingredients. But I really screwed up my prague powder. My...
