Outstanding! THIS is what SMF is all about!

I'd say you nailed it! Looks great to me on the grain slice and I too prefer cut with a fork and not just fall apart.

Great idea with the tallow as well, we love that stuff!

Thank civil for the tallow idea.

Fine looking brisket. You've got some excellent advice from both Civil and other members. I'll toss one more piece of advice:

Pulled the brisket off and placed into towels and a cooler. Poured off the rendered tallow into a cup for dressing later. Started to slice around 5pm. Meat was at about 150 degrees.

If you have any pan drippings leftover. De-fat and freeze them in ice cube trays. After they're frozen solid put them in a zip lock bag and enjoy them in future cooks that may need a bit of the liquid gold.
