Tied up brisket

[joetee]

Has anybody tried tieing up a brisket? This one has a thin flat and basically a point that is just out of a good shape. So I folded the flat and tied it all up into a pretty good shape.
I've done chucks this way with good results.

Definitely works. I've done it with other cuts of meat, too. Should work great on the brisket.

Never tried it, but sounds like a good idea. Let us know how it turns out. Pics too please.

That's a known fix for thin meat, it will work great.

Absolutely, that will work with great results. I like triming the thin end prior to wrapping and using that for burnt ends.

Well I'm here to say it worked great.
Both point and flat came out great.
11 hour cook time. 245-265 grill temp.
Pulled it at 200° IT.

Middle is the flat.
Bottom of the point.

Looks like a success for sure ! Great color and bark

 

[joetee]

Thanks. It's very good. I don't normally take it to 200°. I think I'll be doing this more often.

Looks real good. Juicy and nice smoke ring. Nice bark too.
