Seasoned and ready to go.



I decided to make some tallow for the first time while I let the brisket come closer to room temp.





Just threw the brisket on the pit.

Tallow rendered and jarred.



I’m on an offset smoker. Old Country Brazos.

Fwiw I am usually a straight salt and pepper for brisket, but was gifted some brisket rub so I thought I’d give it a try.

I'm not one to second guess a man on his smoking skills, but that brisket looks a little rough.

Did you trim it?

Trimmed more fat than I ever have. I rendered about 16 oz of oil from the trimmings.

I usually try to leave a 1/4 to 1/8 inch of fat on. Which was the case with this one. But I’m not looking to make it look pretty with the trimming.

Looks good to me. Not sure what they’re seeing that I’m not. Merry Christmas, enjoy!

Took this photo around 2AM



I passed out at around 2:30 and woke up around 5:30 to see that my damn maverick remote lost connection. Pit temp and meat temp were both 140.

Got back on track after that.

7AM


Internal temp 145

Wrapped it about 11AM. And finished it in the oven.

Just pulled it at 1PM Resting it now.

The stall was insane for this one. It seems it only increased 10 degrees from about 2AM TO 10AM. I started getting worried that it may not be done until the evening. After I wrapped it, it went from about 160 to 200 in 2 hours.
