I went to Costco last night and they had prime briskets for $3.99 a lbs. I ended picking out a 10 lbs one that was nice and floppy. I plan on cooking it on Tuesday. One question that I have is if I should put the rub on a just before the cook or overnight? I’m going to use Killer Hogs TX Brisket rub. The game plan for the cook is to get the smoker up to around 225 F. Once is reaches 165 F internal, check to see if the fat has rendered. Once the fat has rendered, wrap in butcher paper with some tallow and take it up to 205 F internal and check the flat to see if it is probe tender. Cut off the point to make some burnt ends and then rest the flat for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
That’s the current plan. I would appreciate any tips or suggestions.
