Monthly Brisket and pulled pork queso dip. Pic Heavy

Options
Another brisket from me.  Not my best, rather disappointed actually.  Paired with some smoked pulled pork queso dip.

Picked up my usual prime from costco

24 hours total, and I messed it up pretty bad.  I slept through my alarms for spritzing, I wrapped way late, ran out of time and had to bump the temperature up. Went to the store and it overcooked

    At least it didn't turn into pot roast? Still held together, so there's that.

    No pot roast.  It held together, but barely.  Even if I had cooked it properly, I believe I had a bad piece of meat from the get go.

    The point is going to make some good burnt ends though.  The point turned out pretty decent.

    As long as it tastes good, that's all that matters outside of competition.
    My prime brisket never takes that long.

    @bhedges1987: Brisket looks pretty great from my perspective! Monthly brisket sounds like a dream. I make but one or two a year. Do you have a recipe for the pulled pork queso dip, or is it as simple as nacho cheese poured over the pork?

    Costco will take anything back .   Show them the pics,  tell them you're a brisket expert and they'll give you a refund! Looks delicious to me!

    As above, the key is the consumption/taste.  Did you run nekked for the entire cook? Curious as you have a great bark right there.

    Nope, I wrapped at the 10 hour mark with paper.

    Looks good from here- Never spritzed brisket in the Egg...Stick burner maybe...Never had a prime of that size go more than 12- 14ish hours @ 225 and If I wrap @ 160 , sooner...Great looking Brisket

    Spritzed is for girls, not Eggs.
