brisket question

[crisw]

I am doing a 9-10 lb.  brisket on my smoker. I got it when we bought a half beef. I was wondering what is the best way to remove the "silver" (that membrane on one side of the meat) from it.

Cris, morning.... Use a paper towel to grab it and pull it off of the meat.... I don't peel it off... I hash it into 1/2" squares with a sharp knife and rub the spices into the meat... Just cut deep enough to expose the meat.. I think it dissolves at the extended cooking times and temps of 190...  The membrane is on all muscles... even the ones you can't see.. intramuscular muscles....  Never been a problem for me....  Dave
