Wife gone this weekend....She isnt a fan of smoked meats (pulled pork, smoked ham, etc), so Im doin some smokin.

We rarely eat brisket.... If I ever cook'em, they are in the oven and cooked to pull.

I bought several briskets when Target had the big sale a couple months ago (thanks FDB).... Cut one into pieces to practice cooking.

This one was seasoned yesterday morning: Black Pepper, Dancing Pig Rub, Garlic Powder, Coffee Grinds, & Yellow Mustard. 24 hours later it came to room temp. Currently smoking with Apple Wood....

Start:


After 1 Hour Smoke:




Planning to wrap and go for a couple hours... Then remove from foil for last hour or so for barking


Any tips you pros wanna offer? Gonna spritz with a lil apple juice

Ought to be able to cook that small one in 4-5 hours, I smoke at 225 for 2 - 3 hours till internal temp gets to 160, then foil it tight and cook at 275 for another 1-2 hours till internal temp gets to 200-205, comes out fantastic

ETA: what is this Thursday looking like

Im not the biggest brisket fan n the world, but this is pretty good. May try it again with a larger chunk of meat. Moist n middle, edges are tender.

The internets can make idiots good cooks

Why did you let it come to room temp? Just curious. I'm guessing it cuts down on your cooking time.

Im not a fan of goin from the fridge to the grill with beef. Albeit smoking doesnt really matter, just one ofy oddities.


Sorry Paul, gotta see if any is left

what works/doesn't work?

In the oven:

I typically marinate/rub one for a day or 2 in a big plastic bag. You can cook it just like you do briskets outside, but when i cook them in the oven - i cook them long enough to pull.... with enough juice to make a gravy of sorts. You will need one of the large aluminum pans to cook in.....and make sure you use a little stock in the bottom of the pan. The brisket will make more...I cook them fat side up. Uncovered for a while, then covered. No real time on any ive done. Plan to cook it low and slow for a LONG time. This is not that different from cooking a roast.....other than its brisket.

Depend on size of brisket.... And in my experience, briskets are not timed easily, they dont all act the same

It does well in the oven. Does well in a crock pot as well. My wife will cut one in half and do it in the crockpot for shredded brisket tacos. Good stuff. Set it and forget it.
