I live in Tucson AZ
Had family in from out of town, they had heard rumor of my Brisket being fairly good so the request qas put in ahead of time. We wanted to eat around 2:00 or 3:00pm so I put this 8 pounder on at 2:00am in the morning at 225 degrees. As reliable as the Rec Tec is, I went to bed after that and got a good nights sleep. When I got up I checked on it and it was idoling through the stall, perfect timing. I went to work for a few hours then called my LOMl and had her check it at around 1:00pm, it was at 199 degrees. |I asked her to take it off at 203 degrees and to do a faux cambro for me til I got home. She forgot and it went to 207 degrees. Turns out it was perfect, I got home, fixed the sides and we ate around 3:00pm. My inlaws said it was better than Brushfire BBQ or Famous Daves. I took that as a compliment. So once again the Rec |Tec takes care of business for me while I take care of business elsewhere.


 
Looks good!

Thanks everyone, being a flat the odds are against a juicy brisket but I've never had a dry one yet. No foil, just beef broth injection and good ol slow cooking. I think the key is consistent temp at 225, cooknig the meat til it hits 203 degrees internal temp and Texas beef rub. All I know is, it'll leave you wanting to throw another one in just to see if you can do it again. Thanks again my friends.
