Smoking a Brisket Flat!

[losyeny]

What rub did you apply over the Yoshidas?

Thanks for sharing. I would rather smoke in a winter storm than a hot summer day anytime!

What rub did you apply over the Yoshidas?

Belly side:

Yoshidas, papain (adolfs meat tenderizer), cracked pepper, thyme, chili powder (dark)

Hide Side:

Yoshidas. salt, cracked pepper, thyme, rosemary, chili powder (dark), diced fresh garlic, onion powder.

The onion powder acts as a great paste to hold all the stuff onto the brisket.

Did you smoke it in the pan the whole time?   What temp did you take it out at?   I've tried briskets several times and haven't been able to get them the way I would like.   They always seem to come up a little tough.  Just looking for some advice/direction.

I always pan flats if I am smoking them alone.  If I am doing a bunch in the rotisserie Southern Pride I don't pan them cause the baste each other.

Whole packers I don't pan til about 6 hours into it.

I don't take out by temperature, I mash it with my fingers to feel the give.  That is the way I was taught as a kid.

My feeling for a good product is:  it should be panned, it takes at least 10 hours for a 5 pounder, it must be flipped every two hours.  I always use papain on belly side.

Did you foil the brisket or just leave in the open pan until done? By the way that looks like beautiful country!

I don't foil brisket.

Thanks I live on the Colorado River.  Just beyond those trees.

Finished up very nicely.  I am working out my minimum spicing protocols, they are there!

I agree on that brisket. Beautiful country your in by the way.

nice looking brisket, Bob! I still need to smoke one but soon...i hope 

 Any reason you slice them cold? Nice to see some brussel sprouts. I love those things. Nice way to bring in the New Year!

Looking good Bob, Why is it when ya ask for a brisket from the butcher you end up with a flat? We have been dealing with the same butcher for 10+ years and never could get them to cut a whole packer. LOL, Changed butchers this year same thing.

I cook mine in a pan too.

That's all they have at my grocery stores too ($4.99 to $8.99 per pound), but Wally World has the full packer usually for about $1.98 per pound.
