Second Brisket

[c14james35]

Since its going to be a nice day tomorrow and I'll be out working in the yard all day i decided to pock up a brisket. Went to the local big chain grocery store all they had was small 3 pound flats. The first one i did was 9 pounds from the butcher. I know its done when its done but anyone have an idea on time for it sonce its so small? I dont want it to be done to early other wise i wont want to get anything done after i eat the whole thing

Hi James,

A 3 lb brisket will be a challenge.  I would keep the temps at 225 and no higher.  The brisket needs to cook slowly to render the connective tissue without drying out.  It could be done in a very short time, but if the connective tissue hasn't had time to melt, it will be tough.

Ya i wasnt going to go over 225 do you think i should try lower around 200 or so to give it more time

I would think 225 would be fine as long as it has a decent fat cap.

Rubbed with jeffs rub. Didnt have enough ingredients to make the texas style.

I haven't done a brisket with Jeff's rub, I'm very curious about this brisket.

Looks good,I've always wanted to try to make deer stick. Brisket currently at 152. Been on since 2 got a late start because of a long trip to Lowes.

This 3 pound brisket is taking a while the IT temp dropped during stall but its back up in the 165 range now. I though I'd have it in the cooler by now only being 3 pounds

 

[mike5051]

Patience!  Low and slow takes time but it works.
