Good morning brisket!

[agrasyuk]

My second try at brisket. First one I only got a bite as it disappeared without a trace betwee the guests. rumor had it that it was amazing.

Got up late, it took longer to trim that I planned , went into the smoker at 7:30am, quite bit later then i planned to.

Looks like a great start! I never seem to get everything started as early as I plan!

Looks really good. Making me hungry!

Mine is getting close to done I think..the IT went from 196f to 192f. Not sure what to make of that, but hey. Just letting it sit for a while at 225f until I'm positive she's butter tender all over! Like the colour on yours!

After returning the wrapped meat into cooker IT started climbing rapidly , probe was placed it middle part of the flat , just about where it meets the point . Thermometer was showing 198 ~3.5 hours second needke therm agreed with the wireless one) so I unwrapped as I was afraid it will be overdone. But since it wasn't tender enough I left it for a few more hours .

Ended up being presentable and very edible, but I was hoping for better. part of the flat under the point did pass the bend and the pull tests, but could be just a bit more tender. The thin part of flat was just to dry. Again, edible, and guests didn't complain (good half of it is gone) but I see room for improvement. Point got cubed and trayed for few more hours in the cooker swimming in drippings-BBQ sauce .

Among other dishes WFO baked jalapeno poppers were served. Now thise vere amazing )
