Hello there SMF friends (and buddies that will get here from facebook),

I have tried brisket before but did not come out that great.  I didn't depend on temps or anything...I just pulled it when it looked right after 7 or 8 hours...

I am no longer a novice and retrying "battle brisket".

9 pound brisket cut in half to fit in the smoker.

Rubbed and kept in the fridge for 2 days.

My rub: 4 cups brown sugar, 1 cup of coarse sea salt, 1/2 cup of garlic salt, 1 cup of paprika, 1/2 cup of garlic powder, 1/2 cup onion powder, 1/3 cup of chipotle powder

I used the same rub for some bone-in strip steaks...which came out amazing as well.


I smoked this guy at 210 degrees starting at 10PM that night, feeding the smoker every 2 to 3 hours. Wood of choice: Hickory.


At 170 it was pulled out around 9:30am. Covered it in tin foil and put it in a warmed oven for 2 hours...then sliced it up.



I plan on doing it again in a couple of weeks for a party I'm having...only thing I would different is after slicing brisket, go through and cut out any fat that is sometimes inside the brisket.

Thanks,

Chuck

Looks great!  How did it taste?  Don't have time to cook one, now I may have to go get a sandwich at local BBQ place.
 
Moist and juicy, Will try injecting next time with soy + worcester + beef broth....trying to get a bit more flavor.
 
Looks Awesome Chea !!! Great looking Bark!!

Note: If you inject it or temp probe it before 2 or 3 hours, you should get it from 40* IT to 140* IT in no longer than 4 hours. 210* Smoker temp probably won't do that.
