Status Report: First attempt at a brisket

[Mike]

Generally poor results.
I used a 1# brisket of dubious origin.
I put too much rub on it so it came out salty and too peppery.
It was dry.
It was tender.
Oh well. Will try a chuck tomorrow - Mike

" Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all". Next time will be better, this is how most all of us learn, by trial and error. Best thing about this hobby is we can still eat our mistakes! RAY

I would use the term "dubious" as well then! Good luck on your next try with the chuck roast.

Only out a little time and some $......Heck if you cant eat it I'm sure the dog would love it. Nothing else you learned for the next one.

Smoking a 1 lbs brisket , unknown part of brisket etc and getting moist tender result would be damn hard for anyone. The chuck you are doing will be far easier. You should get excellent pulled beef. If you need advice on the chuck let us know.
