Brisket squeezed into the smoker

[ghoster]

Just loaded a 20 pound brisket (about 15 pounds trimmed) onto the smoker.  Had to bend the edges round to squeeze it onto the bullet smoker.

all up pretty happy with the outcome.  Not sure I'll rush back for such a big brisket, which I took this time because it was all my butcher could get.  Past briskets have been at the 13-14 pound untrimmed. I've found these to be better eating.

i should point out that I covered and rested the brisket for two hours before cutting

Man that looks awesome great smoke. And one of these days I'm going to get around to making brisket burnt ends I have made pork ones but never brisket

Man - looks great, perfect slices and burnt ends all in one!  Not sure I could get a 20# in my WSM whole - nice work!

 

[ghoster]

Thanks Weev. You got me thinking now. I've never actually done pork burnt ends, just enjoyed the barky bits on the pulled pork. I should give it a go.

Thanks Briggy.  it was a pretty tight squeeze, and the edges got more than their fair share of heat. but it fed 13 of us and gave me some left overs.
