30 minutes is all it took....pulled it @198*F. Smoked with white oak for 11 hours and 30 minutes. Just delivered it to the firehouse,,,,in the oven 150-170*F until supper tonight. Pics. when we slice.....See y'all then, I'm going take a nap.

Well, this was the worst of briskets transformed into the best of briskets! NAILED IT! These guys like it heavy on the black pepper. I take the untrimmed weight in grams X 1% for the black pepper. Untrimmed weight X 0.55% for the salt. Perfect....

The Bark:

The slice:

Perfect..

The trussing REALLY helped achieve an even cook with this misshaped cut of meat! I highly recommend is if you get one with a thin flat or a funky cut point.....

This brisket was put in the oven just before noon. Sliced @5:30pm...the 6 hour rest was perfect in a 150-170*F oven.

I have been cooking briskets for a long time. Up until I stumbled upon this forum, they were always hit or miss. Not any more! The brisket knowledge here in SMF is legendary! And it has helped me to up my brisket game. The guys at the firehouse sure appreciate it. I have a standing maxim.....If they buy it-I will cook it. This is brisket #4 for the year for the guys....

Thanks Chris! I sure wish that point had not been butchered so badly! I took some pieces and sliced for burnt end finger food appetizer while we took pictures... OMG soooo Goood!!!

Great looking brisket! Nice job!

Thanks CTX! 11 1/2 hour smoke for a 12# brisket... worth it!
