My neighbor usually throws a Fourth of July party and asked me to do the meat. I figured it would be a good opportunity to fire up my stick burner, and cook more than a single rack of ribs or brisket.
I ran to the local WMart, and they didn’t have any briskets in the cooler. I pannicked, found the meat stocker and he brought out a case of choice for me to pick through. I picked 2, 11-13# briskets and bought 3 bone in butts.
Once I got home, I opened up the briskets to trim and after trimming only had about 2# of fat trimmings, could have done a little more but didn’t. They had hardly any hard fat cap at all.
I seasoned the briskets with spog, and the butts with a combo of Jeff’s rub, and a concoction that my Aunt and Uncle developed that has Weber smoky mesquite, raw sugar and season salt.
cooking hot and fast, 275-325*, I put the meat on at 2pm and pulled at 10:.
wrapped brisket at the stall with butcher paper, butts in foil and pan.
Pan rested overnight in the fridge, reheated, pulled/sliced for supper at 5:30 the next day.
Overall I was pleased, sliced brisket lasted about 25 minutes and ended up running out of pulled pork. Neighbor had good review, so I guess I will probably be asked next year to do it again.
