It’s fall and it’s time to get right to the point of beef…….. love it when these babies are on the shelf!

Did a 1/4 inch fat trim and diamond scored it…..saved to fat for rendering on the smoker….

Seasoned it up with the new Asian rub. Opened up the scores to get lots of rub in the cuts…..

Bingo on the RT 1250 top shelf with the pan of trimmed fat below……ran the smoker at 265…

Dropped it in the boat and basted with the smoked tallow and put to bed till jello…. Dropped the CC temp to 225…..

Thanks! I do know a solution to food munchies!
Pure awesomeness!!!
Many thanks jax!
Nicely done civil! Great pics!
Thanks Swamp….I took the “day off” to just smoke and take pics! It was a good day!
Wow, looks great, thanks for sharing and all the pictures!
Thanks thern and you are welcome!
Good point.
One of the best I've seen.
The texture looks fantastic. Wish I could feel it with my mouth.
Much appreciation edmonds! It was very tasty! This is my new found brisket method…. 265 till INT 165-170 then tallow boat till 198@ 225… then rest at 165 till din din….. I’ve also been doing the same with chucks…. Simple but delivers!

My favorite part of brisket and yours looks perfect. There would be no leftovers if I was invited.
I'm jelly that cut is never available here. I'd probably max out a credit if it did. LoL
 
Amazing looking plate Civil, that point is on point.

Point for sure
Chris
 
Wow! Looks incredible! I would not stop eating that, have me drooling! Awesome work!
Thanks Jed! Restraint..... I planned on limiting me to 2 slices......wonder why the slices were 1/3 to 1/2 thick....LOL

JS, I have a hard time justifying a full brisket, but these points are perfect, since the move quickly at the GS they keep them in stock... We are lucky!
That looks AWESOME! I can't wait to try your cooking technique!!! :emoji_thumbsup:
Thanks RS, be careful with the technique, because its addicting....it you get a good night's sleep, burn 1/2 the pellets and eat brisket for dinner without ever "waiting"!
Wow does that look awesome Civil. I would love a plate of that.
Thanks Brian, come on by and have a brisket Ceasar salad for lunch with me!

Many thanks naj!
Nice! Wish I could find points around here
Thanks Mmd! We are lucky, I see people grabbing the flat vs the point and I'm like.....ok...
Absolutely stellar cook and a beautiful presentation. Beautiful job sir!!

Robert
Much appreciation Robert! It was a fun day of cooking for sure! I need to find a way to be less busy and more smoking!!!
Amazing looking plate Civil, that point is on point.

Point for sure
Chris
Thanks Chris!, I will take that point for sure!! LOL
 
Now I get the point, looks great and plated to perfection. I will have to see if I can find it. Usually only see the whole brisket.

That is a fantastic looking brisket!
I sure we could get just the point here, but you can buy all the flats & packers you want, but why no points?
The only points we can get here are already corned, so you get pastrami.
