Copper Pot Quick Brisket

[civilsmoker]

Ok is been a looooooooooog time since I’ve and any free time to sit watch thin blue smoke rise up in the air after it had done it’s magic swirling around kissing a nicely season slab of protein.......so when the wife showed me what she picked up for Labor Day dinner I got all warm and fuzzy!!!

So I fired up the Copper Pot. I started a chimney of coals and once going good I put them in the a couple of splits to get it about 375 to do a steam clean.

Prepped the wonderfully brisket by doing a 1/4 inch fat trim then 45deg scored and heavily salted, onion, garlic, lemon pepper and creole. I made sure to work it in to the score lines.

On it goes at 250, doing this cook with classic oak.

this will be a faster cook so going to keep the copper pot around 260-280, with a planned pan wrap once it’s reach 160ish. Now I relax and enjoy the swirling magic of the TBS........

Glad to see you are getting a chance to watch some TBS. I’ve been going through copper pot withdraw here wondering where that beautiful smoker got to. Glad to see you and your copper friend back.

Thanks Peachey! Yes talk about withdrawals is right!!! Tasks around the new house have been a bit more taxing than planned so finally just saying enough we need balance! I have to say the cooper pot is enjoyable to cook on. It also makes the outside smoky air smell good.

Thanks, and I’m thinking the copper pot is going to get a lot of use since the X-Fire needs to be finished before I can move it out for use......so sad!!! But that helps the copper shine!

I was just thinking I hadn’t seen any X fire cooks. Glad you have some time. In for the ride to see that finished brisket.

I haven’t seen any X-Fire cooks either....errrr. We need to get it final welded up, painted, then a concrete pad to put it on then it will get lots of use!!! just glad I have another unit to use!

Progress check.....

getting close to wrapping.....dang why does brisket take sooo long I want to eat it KNOW!

bingo time to cover it up! And put another log on the fire.

oh man just getting hungrier and hungrier!!!

Going to keep it 275 ish now that it is covered so we don’t go hungry tonight....dinner sans brisket would NOT be a happy place....lol.

LOL....the new place does have an extra bedroom or should I call it the fire & coal tenderer room!!

the copper pot thanks you!

 

[civilsmoker]

Bingo the point is 195 and the flat is 201......letting it rest....

Hopefully the wait is worth it.....I’m thinken so!!! Joined with some of my wife’s smoked gouda bacon Mac and a old bay seeped corn!

This is what TBS and the Copper Pot create!

And finally the money shot of the point slice!!!

Ok my daughter is home for the weekend so here is her encore:

These were turned into this

Now they are put in a nice cup for a session in the oven

I’m clueless on how to do this stuff so I just watch and wait till I can enjoy it.......35 min in the oven seems longer than 9 hours the brisket was on.....

 

[civilsmoker]

As if a fresh smoked brisket wasn’t good enough for a Sunday evening, this is how it is topped of!

Just pear money!
