Turkey Day Eve Brisket

[ifitsdeadsmokeit]

Family started arriving yesterday. Rest will be here this afternoon/ evening. Cooking a brisket for those here by dinner and those that show up after can have something if hungry and lunch for rest of week.

Cleaned up a 16.5 # prime packer from costco yesterday. Trimmed fat and mostly separated the point and trimmed fat layer between that and flat but left it attached. Will be making burnt ends with the point. Coated with rub, wrapped and back in fridge til morning.

Chilly and breezy start at 37 degrees. Using the yoder today. Put it on at 275 at 7 this morning.

Chilly and breezy start at 37 degrees

I get up around 5:30 . Made coffee , then took the dog out . That wind was tough .
Nothing like the smell of smoke on a cool day .
