Brisket

[fatback joe]

Nothing out of the ordinary here.........hadn't done any q view in a long time around here, so brisket seemed like a good candidate.

Untrimmed, choice grade, 14.68 lbs

Trimmed some of the hard stuff off the top, between the flat and point, but didn't go crazy with it. I don't trim the bottom at all pre cook

Kept the rub very simple. Salt, Pepper, Granulated Garlic, and Cayenne

Went out at 6:30 Sunday morning to put the meat on.......WTF......oh yeah, I am not in Florida anymore.

Smoked it with a mix of hickory and cherry........I think a chunk of apple got in as well. This one was in a hurry for some reason......cooker at 250, brisket was done in 8 hours. That didn't break my heart.

I let it rest wrapped for about an hour and then took to slicing. Almost forgot any sliced pics as I got busy doing other stuff around the house and have also gotten out of the habit of taking pics.

Had separated the point from the flat and was slicing the flat when I remembered. Wiped my hands and took a quick shot and got back to it. Looking at the pics, it looks dry, but it wasn't, it turned out very nice.

Finished slicing, cut up the point and bagged it up for lunches........you'll just have to trust me on the last part........I was done taking pics. LOL

Great color on that smoke ring.

14 pounder in only 8 hours sounds great

 

[fire it up]

I was gonna ask if you were running the smoker hot to have it finish that fast but I guess you just got one of those extremely rare smokes where everything not only goes perfect but actually goes better than perfect!

Great looking pics. Excuse me, I have to go eat now!!!

 

[fatback joe]

Yeah, I was just smoking this to slice and bag up for lunches so it didn't matter when it got done........just happened to haul butt. I usuallly plan on about an hour a pound for brisket at 250.

If I smoke below 250 anymore it is only because something went wrong.
