1.55 lbs. $8. What the heck. If it's chili meat that cool too.
Just put on, fat down (what little there was) oak and 250. Here we go... \m/

Damn! That's insane!
It sounds like finding a packer is similar to finding a Golden Ticket in a chocolate bar. :(Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -

Just probed at 170s. Only two hrs in. Not sure if I want to foil it now or just let it ride a while.Slumming it in Aiken, SC. -

I've put myself on restriction from giving you advice. I will let the brisket pros chime I'm on what direction you should go.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

Can't believe 1 1/2 lb. briskets exist! Crazy. I wouldn't foil. If you're rising that fast, it doesn't seem like you're hitting a stall and the foil is really there to push you through the stall. Hitting 170 means you're moving through what would be the stall with relative ease. I'd just let it ride and see how it turns out.Southern California

And the bark is iffy only cuz I went a little overboard with the cow lick this time.Slumming it in Aiken, SC. -

It's likely too late...but I would have wrapped so I could try to protect the meat as much as possibleJust a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -
wrapped-- with a little coffee thrown in for good measure.Slumming it in Aiken, SC.

@cazzy what is the real difference between butcher paper and foil in BBQ?

I'll send you what I just texted a member off line.fletcherfam said:@cazzy what is the real difference between butcher paper and foil in BBQ?
It breathes so it doesn't destroy your bark, plus it still offers protection for your meat. Foil doesn't breathe, so it steams and can soften your bark.
Foil has its place...but not with brisket. Foil is great for ribs and butts.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -
Good call...I don't think i'd ever toss coffee in with a flat, but i'd definitely wrap it.cazzy said:Jeremiah said:wrapped-- with a little coffee thrown in for good measure.Try to get some butcher paper so you can lose the foil with your brisket cooks.
Thanks cazzy. I'll get some. And next time I'm going all out for the packer so I hope you're ready
To conclude the cook, it was ok. No bark and way too much cow lick. But for $8 it provided dinner and lunch tomorrow. So I guess I'll call it a win.

I'll be ready!!
Dude, chop it up and add some bbq sauce to balance it out.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....
