Triple B's First Beef Brisket!!

[triple b]

Hi Everybody!
Here I go with my first beef brisket!
It was on sale for $2.99/lb.
It's 6 lb 14 oz.
I started it at 5:30 this morning.
I rubbed it with a beef rub I found on the internet to which I added extra garlic powder,brown sugar and some Morita Chipotle powder which I got from my brother,"Squeezy".

After 18 1/2 hrs with rub... On to the smoker

We're smokin' now!......After 2 hours with some hot Italian Sausage and a small Corned Beef Brisket


Back in awhile with more pics.
It's now 9:10 a.m. and the brisket is at 158°F

Before he could post more pix ... he called me and said get over here and taste this ... yes....I did!
Yes it was great! ... all that a brisket should be!
Not to worry ... he will get to the finish pix ... soon I think?

Thanks Bro!

So I ended up wrapping the brisket in 3 layers of foil and about 4oz. of apple juice.
Then I put it in the oven that got up to 249°F.
Finally by 5:30 it got up to 199°F
I took it out and let it rest for almost 15min.(hehe!!)
Then I cut into it!!!
Oh my God!!

Open the foil..............A few cuts


Close up of slices[nice smoke ring!!]
Wow I couldn't believe the flavour!!!


A shot of the Corned Beef Brisket I did.Yummy!!!


I was so excited I called Squeezy over to taste it.
If I wasn't hooked before,I am NOW!!!!!

Sorry it took me so long to post this,it's been a long day and I kept falling asleep at the computer.

WooHoo!
