Gonna try my best to document my brisket process.  Couple of friends who usually just eat the finished product want my process.  Here is what Im working with today:

6lb Certified Angus Beef (CAB) Brisket Flat from Sams.  I buy these by the case for $3 per pound.  Most are in the 8-10lb range.  Perfect for competitions.  Big pit gets a rest today and I will be smoking on my Green Mountain Pellet Smoker.  We will be cooking fairly hot at 265-275 degrees.

Step 1 - after you open the bag, remove beef and coat with yellow mustard.  This adds ZERO to the flavor profile.  This allows the rub to stay put.

Step 2- Apply your rub of choice.  Today we are using Texas BBQ Rub Co. Brisket # 2 blend along with a little Starbucks Sumatra Blend.  Yes...I use coffee in my rub.

Step 3- Put on pit fat side DOWN.  I do fat side down when I plan on puttting the beef in a pan after I reach the color i want on the beef.

Pics below for these steps.  More to come as the day goes

That's a really great looking brisket, but my question is why are you smoking it at such a high temp?
 
Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.


I gotta felling if it ain't done by now since he started it on Jan.1, 2001 and it is now April 20, 2011 it ain't ever gonna get done...
