Brisket going full naked!

[sandyut]

Figured I would give this one a naked cook - no wrapping. First time doing so with a brisket (many saw the successful naked rib cook - so i figured WTF why not). I was in a rut with my methods and so here we go.

15.25LB Costco Prime brisket at $3.69 / LB. not bad. Trimmed off about 2 lb of fat...it had a big chunk of hard fat on the point end, but I liked the flat thickness and took the hit. Rubbed last night.

0530 sparked up the Rec Tec on LOW (180) for 4 hours then turn up to 275 and left for an Oktoberfest at Snowbird. Had a hike and a couple cold ones. returned home to about 180 IT. She creeping and it about 191 on the flat. Wont be long for the after pics. Had a couple teaser bits of trim cut offs - might be a good one...more to follow.

OK - real close - just probed and I think I will give it a few more minutes - but I did snap this pics while checking the doneness. More to follow...

Better have a beer or two...after its off the grill she will need a rest before mass consumption ensues! BUT I will get the sliced pics.

Nice work, the brisket looks amazing!
I'm 110% for no wrap for briskets. Next time try some 100% Mesquite smoke in a pellet tube for about 6-9 hours and be prepared to be amazed at the flavor! :)
