Sunday Prime Brisket

[Co4ch D4ve]

I defrosted a 10 pound prime brisket from Costco for this mornings smoke.

Fired up the LoneStarz offset and trimmed the brisket (no photos of the trim).

Seasoned with salt and pepper and onto the smoker at 7am. I’m using SmokenAl’s trick with the trimmings on top of the brisket to keep it moist.

After about 45 minutes you can already see the drippings on the brisket.

It’s going to be a great day! Hope you are having a good one too.

Really like this LoneStarz smoker. Just look at that temp across the smoker!

Pulled the brisket at 197° IT. Probe was like butter. Resting in the cooler.

Looks like Sunday = Meat Church. Can't wait to see that thing sliced up.

 

[Co4ch D4ve]

All sliced up. Both the point and flat were tender and juicy.

Pound it

Wow that looks good!
Congratulations on making the carousel!

Thanks GMC and Yankee.

I think SmokinAl's "fat on the top shelf" technique really adds a lot of moisture to the brisket. I don't have a lagoon full of turtles to feed it to after the smoke though... lol

Food art, my friend! Big like!

Thanks for the kind words texomakid and Disco! The brisket being a “prime” brisket makes all the difference. And at $2.99 a pound it was a steal!

Wow! That's what I paid for a Select grade last week. Score!

Costco has their prime brisket at $2.99/lb about once a month here. I try to stock up when they do.

Does anyone else notice that a prime brisket cooks faster than other briskets? This one was 10 pounds before trimming so I’m guessing about 8 pounds after trimming. It was done in about 6 hours smoking between 240°-270°.
