Now with Q View: Doing an 8lb brisket flat in the MES Sunday

[drtheo]

So I am getting ready to do a 7lb brisket flat in the MES.

I am thinking a Dr pepper marinade and some Rene's desert rub on it.

This would be my first time using pop as a marinade. I have heard beef responds well to it.

Good luck, let us know the results.

Tagging now so I don't miss the money shot.

there may not be one. My smoker controller just crapped out on me and will not heat higher than 200 so I am trying to bypass the temp. Probe to get the heat to full temperature.

Just put the wrap on

Given the issues with the smoker controller crapping out it came out ok

Could you taste the Dr Pepper? Do you think it made a difference?

I am looking to try it but not sure.

I think the Dr pepper could have been better used if I would have injected it or used it as a most instead of water. A 20 hour soak in the stuff and I could not detect it.
