I'm new but will try my luck with brisket for Fathers day.

[vince]

First off I want to say what a cool site this is. I have been on and off all day reading. great site!

For Fathers Day I'm going to smoke a 8lbs Brisket. I did a homemade rub and it will sit in the fridge all night. I plan on getting up early and doing a 13 hour cook, I will post pictures along the way,

Enjoy the day!

Take care, have fun, and do good!

Regards,

You have the timing right, be patient it's worth it.

 

[abelman]

Sounds good. Two things to remember, 1) be patient if you get a long plateau and, 2) if you're slicing the brisket, slice it across the grain and not with the grain.

Look forward to the finished report.

This was early today, I will update with a new picture next time I open the smoker up to mop and turn

Sorry about the red looking picture, it's the canopy I set up. We may get some rain.

Vince, Welcome since I probably missed you. Nice looking start you have.

 

[mr porky]

So far so good. Keep us posted on the end results!

 

[vince]

I don't have to worry about the red looking pictures anymore, A good rain came with wind and it torn up the canopy, LOL

Still going good, a few more hours I think.

I usually do a slightly smaller brisket...flat cut...and I get three such pieces and put the rub on overnight...then put into a roaster oven for
6 hours with Claudes Brisket sauce...folks rave about this brisket...so am anxious to see how a smoker does...225 is my cooking temp with the roaster...same as I would do with a smoker...13 hours may be too long...

 

[vince]

It may be done before the 13 hours, The meat temp is 165 now and I coverd with foil for the last part of cooking.

Looks good Vince isn't it great when a plan comes together

 

[vince]

Well, I have to say I am really happy with my first brisket, I think it is the most tasty thing I have done so far. Finding you all and all the reading I did helped, I don't think I could have done it without Forum. Here are a few more pictures,


my family loved it.

 

[jaynik]

[jpaul]

Very nice looking smoke ring. Brisket is something I haven't tried yet, but I'm sure going to have to give it a go!

 

[seboke]
