First attempt at Brisket

[karscot]

I made up my own recipe of sauce, and rub. used tome Jack Daniels in the sauce but won't post a recipe until I've actually tasted it and survived.
Purchased my grill in the summer but haven't used it much so now my seasons ove and things are slower thought I would do a brisket since all your videos look so good and the meat so tasty.

Was awesome! Wasn't overdone but next time will cook six hours rather than seven, and my not so secret ingredient for the rub "Anise" worked great very very tasty. So now I feel confident to invite guests.

Kaescot that looks like it's not your first rodeo.  Here's a link to an article I found very informative about brisket.  Hope you enjoy.  Good luck.

Yes first attempt at Brisket. I did a regular beef roast in the summer just after I purchased the smoker/grill it turned out ok was moist and tender but was lacking a little in flavour but then I never used a rub, wasn't aware of them until about three weeks ago.

I did some ribs with my own concoction of barbecue sauce also in the summer they turned out well but I only cooked them for three hours which I thought was fine until I started reading all these posts by others who have been smoking for a while.

I have also cooked rib eye steaks again with no coating the were moist and tender but they took aver 20 minutes to cook because I could not ramp up the heat to a high enough temperature to sear them and cook for only 8 minutes (with my old gas barbecue I used to do steak 7 minutes each side) as the instructions which came with my grill recommends. Since there is only myself who likes steak I am thinking of getting one of those small stainless steel gas barbecues just for my steak.

That sounds like it would work.  I have two Big Green Eggs that I mainly use for smoking.  They do steaks fine, but I usually just fire up my Fire Magic gas grill.  That is quicker and less work.  Good luck, and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

You're welcome.  Hope it turned out well.

Tried a prime rib roast and pork ribs a couple of weekends ago wasn't as successful as the brisket. The roast had more fat within it and there was some Grissel. I put it down to my inexperience in choosing meat for the barbecue. The ribs turned out very well.

What do you guys serve up with your smoke/grilled creations? Any recipes? I like garlic mashed potatoes, broccoli casserole, garlic sauteed mushrooms.

My next attempt I think will be a pulled pork.

BTW thanks for the link!

I like some ABTs for appetizers, the no boil Mac & Cheese and next time will be adding Dutch's Wicked Baked Beans.
