Brisket Time Temp. Charted (Q-view)

[handy54]

Over the weekend I smoked a 13 Lb. brisket and for the fun of it I charted time and Temps. It took 13.5 Hrs to reach 197 degrees

I wrapped and tented at 162 degrees and pulled at 197. I made burnt ends out of the point and sliced the flat. came out great

Great looking brisket. And good notes.

Cool. How'd it come out?

That column on the right would have been my beer count and it would have ended around 0230..

Great notes and excellent looking Brisket.

The only complaint I had on the brisket, was the bark was not as hard as I would have liked. I'm not sure how a guy would get it hard- when it's wrapped and tented.

I injected it the night before with

Beef Base	1 TBS
Worcestershire Sauce	1 TBS
Soy Sauce	1 TBS
Accent	1 tea
Apple Juice	1 cup
Beef Broth	1 cup
Brisket Rub	1 TBS

and I used as the rub

Paprika	¼ cup
Dark Brown Sugar	2 TBS
Sugar	1 TBS
Salt	1 tea
Accent	2 tea
Celery Salt	1 tea
Black Pepper	1 tea
Cayenne Pepper	1 tea
Dry Mustard	1 tea
Garlic Powder	1 tea
Onion Powder	1 tea

I also weighed the brisket after it was cooked and sliced and came up with 6 lbs. of  finished product. This is less than most charts show you should get.

Looks like a temp dip at the 1.5 and again at the 3.5 hr mark...but after that she held steady.  All's well that ends well!  Looks like the foil flattened the meat temp into a steady climb.  Bottom line it looks great and I am sure you had fun!

IMHO, hard bark=no foil.. I've done plenty both ways and I prefer them unfoiled..

Looks great and great record keeping
