Brisket Time!!

[CFLJOHN512]

Grabbed a 15 lb brisket a few days ago from Sams since the prices dropped. Last night I trimmed it up and put SPG on it, then onto the MES at 200 degrees about midnight. Woke up at 6am and it was sitting at 148 IT. Turned up the heat to 235. Bout 11 am I wrapped it with an IT of 171. After wrapping it in foil, I cranked it up to 275. 3 pm it hit 205 and I pulled it and let it take a 3 hour test in the cooler. I used some apple and hickory. It turned out super moist and perfectly done. Paired it with deviled eggs, potato salad, slaw, and corn on the cob. I’m currently in pain from eating wayyyyy too much. I can’t even enjoy a piece of my girlfriends AMAZING cheesecake till I digest this pile of food I scarfed down.

Wow. I would say 8+ out of 10. Good job.

Barbecuists never get a 10 because barbecue is a journey...., not a destination. A 9 leaves little room for improvement, and think about it, you need to wow your family and friends for years to come. I'll take an 8 any day and feel good about it.

So ready to do another brisket. Just waiting on my new offset to arrive. The waiting is torture.

Glad prices are coming back down. GFS has it for $2.99 today. Nice job on this one! Real nice looking bark on it. Now go get some of that cheesecake!!
