One of the best I have made on the GMG! The new thermal sensor made a big difference in the way it cooks, so i suspect the original was wacky from day one. I had been disappointed in the results of long cooks, so mosty did pork steaks and such in it. When i did brisket or butts, i started them in my stick burner until time to foil them, then transferred to the GMG to finish without babysitting the fire.
I cooked this packer from start to finish and am pleased with the result. At the stall, I panned it on a rack and added my magic elixir of beef base and brewed coffee. I inserted a probe from my new Thermoworks, then covered tightly with foil to finish. I started probing at 195. But had to take this one to 207 before it probed tender in the flat.
Pure Texas style with nothing but salt and pepper.
I reserved the liquid and made a killer gravy for the mashed potatoes. I ate until I was ready to pop!

Thank you Chili! Since my wife passed last December I have not felt up to cooking like I used to. Just me now, so a big hunk of meat will make many meals.
 
Talk about moist - that right there is the definition of a moist brisket.

Point for sure

Thanks everyone!
Having leftovers for lunch right now. It sure is tasty, but the gravy is to die for!
 
Radio, great looking money shot! I want some taters and gravy! Care to share what you do with the magic elixir?

I use a similar beef bouillon paste on my briskets, both for injection and rub.

Looks great!

Try beef base instead of bullion for a beefier flavor. I have used bullion and the base is so much better.
I start with a couple of well rounded tablespoons of it, then brew 16 to 18 ounces of coffee to disolve it with just before putting the brisket in a disposable pan at 150-160 degrees IT. I put a rack with about 1 inch legs on it in the pan, add the brisket, then pour the liquid over brisket, insert temp probe, wrap tightly in foil and finish til tender.
I chill the drippings so i can separate the fat, then heat in a saucepan while I make a flour slurry to whisk in as a thickener . I usually have add water to dilute the concentrated drippings both to dilute them and increase the volume

Amazing cook with the finished Money shot! It looks fantastic.....DECAF?
Thank you.
Unfortunately yes on the decaf. A year ago last Christmas I ended up in the cardiovascular ward and the Dr said one issue was strong coffee, and too much of it :-( decaf took some getting used to, but it is better than giving up coffee completely

Sucks about the decaf but that money shot I would pay for. Amazing looking meat and the way the gravy just barely dribbles over the brisket looks like what it feels to own a yacht. I imagine anyway, I never feel better than a bite of that tastes!
