Winter Welcome Dry Brined Brisket Point

[civilsmoker]

Since snow was forecast for the local hills (yes it did snow), we thought we better welcome winter in with a feast……

Picked up a point cut and trimmed the fat cap and coated it with kosher salt (1/2 tsp/lb) yesterday morning for a 36 hour dry brine….

Started the smoking operation this AM at 7…..I decided to put a light rub of tallow to see if it would help with bark…..

Coated it with my five spice rub…..

One hour in, running the RT 1250 at me usual 265…..man it’s looking tasty!

4 hours in….INT 140…..

INT 170….7 hours in….time to baste with tallow and cover….

All basted……yum….

INT 200 and probe tender……5pm……ready to rest till dinner at 6….

6 o’clock time to slice, and dressed with the rendered tallow and French gray salt…..

The plate…..roasted garlic and herb baby golds, corn ribs (Costco….giving them a try) with a bit of kinders gold…..oh and a side salid….Mrs Cs Apple salad ( to die for), greens, pink lady apples, pecans, craisins, feta with her red wine vinaigrette….

This will fight off the thought of winter….

Encore money shot….with an end cut!

Hopping spring comes quick!

Damn man that looks insane!

Oddly enough later on this year I'm hoping for one good snowfall as it'll be the first time in 21 years I've had a paved driveway and I want to know what it feels like to not shoot gravel through my snowblower.

Many thanks schlotz! Yea I didn't eat breakfast or lunch today.....LOL Still full!

Much appreciated norm! Ah I do (DON'T) miss those days of throwing gravel..... When we lived in ND we had a 350 ft gravel driveway with a couple of trees that were too close....They made nice drifts..... The snow blower sounded like a rock shaker vs a snow blower!

looks good . I'm ready for some snow .

Thanks chop and maybe it will move east! I need some more time before we have to deal with it!

you are welcome Jim and hope you got a good breakfast as a result...LOL ironically I wasn't hungry....not even a little hungry this am! Thanks!

That's beautiful. I'm gonna stop doing whole packers and start smoking points. It looks delicious

Thanks texo! Oh I don't smoke whole packers at all anymore. I do pay about $1 more per lb for just the point cut but it's worth it all the way around! If I need more then its two points

Nice!

Many thanks Timbo!

yes sir, I'll have a plate. I'm usually headed towards burnt ends with that, but you killed it.

What a great cook and meal!
You'd have to check the Almanac to see when I would finish with that

Man that is a feast! It's way too early for snow here.
