A brisket fit for Memorial Day!

[JB_rD81]

Fucker was 20.79 lbs, been in my freezer since New Years, I trimmed 5 lbs of things I didn’t like and fat cap, and a lot of the deckle between the point and flat… here she is packaged, unpackaged, trimmed and rubbed. Going on tonight around 9 pm I think, with post oak briquettes and pecan wood at 225 for a low and slow overnight smoke…

Rubbed with SPG, And Kosmos Cow Cover
And Texas Beef. No injection as I’m cooking low and slow, I’ll utilize a water pan in my smoker

Looks good. I’ve got my meat all spiced up also

 

[Kad1]

How along will you smoke that? Overnight!

My mouth watered,looks and sounds great.

Hopefully no longer than 15-20 hours. I just put it on, 8:45 pm here, I will watch it a few times over night at 225, then adjust temp in the morning as needed once wrapped.

That aint no good… you better ship it to me. I’ll take a hit for the team.

 

[Poppy]

How much is cooked weight you reckon?

 

[JB_rD81]

It was 15 when I put it on, and It shrunk quite a bit… maybe 10, typically they shrink by 40%ish…

That’s the flat, haven’t sliced the point yet

 

[Poppy]

Yep looks terrible send it to eastern Carolina

 

[Kad1]

Looks awesome. I just took mine off. Resting it now. Burned my poor puppy taking it off. Wasn’t expecting so much juice to come out pulling it off. Rushed him to the sink amd flooded him with cold water. He seems fine. This damn brisket better be worth it. Lol

 

[JB_rD81]

Point and chopped flat

 

[Kad1]

Resting it now

 

[JB_rD81]

@Kad1 Very nice, looks good to me, you’ll know for sure when you slice

 

[Poppy]

It all looks delicious!

 

[Kad1]

I tried a small piece from the end and the wife approved. Hopefully the rest looks good

[John]

Oh man,I need that on my life. Look outfuckinstanding.

How was the smoke ring? Another good
Indicator is how well it bends, either over a knife or
Your finger, like my photo, and the pull apart test, a slice should pull apart between the muscle fibers with little resistance
