Too late for Brisket

[Retired Spook]

14.5 pound prime packer trimmed to 11 pounds with salt & pepper rub.

In the smoker at 6:30 AM.

This was about 2:00 PM - I wrapped it in pink butcher paper around 4:30 PM and it just finished at 7:40 PM 210-degrees nice a jiggly - I was really hoping it would be done no later than 6:30 PM so I could have a late dinner - oh well...

I wrapped in in towels and put it in a cooler for at least a 3+ hour rest - I guess I will wake up in the middle of the night and put it in the fridge - maybe I will make a few slices then and add a photo. Other than that I guess will have to settle for some brisket hash for breakfast in the morning and re-heat some for lunch. The price of old age.

I will be giving half of this to a friend because there is no way I can eat this much brisket before it goes south.

I hope it tastes as good as it looks.

Good night!

Looks great from here, that's 1 of the reasons I love my pellet smoker and inkbird therm, all night cooks are pretty worry free.

A 2:00 AM slice - so that was 6-hours in the cooler. It was still quite hot to the touch though being half asleep I failed to stick the thermometer in it.

Not bad my technique is getting better each time - very very tender and the juicier component is improving - pulls apart effortlessly. I could have trimmed the fat a little bit closer but that something that only experience can teach.

6:00 AM Sliced a little more and made a plate for a friend - nice improvement nearer the center of the brisket...
