Brisket Flat

Egged up a 6 pound choice brisket flat tonight that I picked up at the local grocer for an embarassing 5.50/lb . Those things are worse than pork butts on pricing this year. I had to have it though, as I usually can't find them that heavy around here. It was real uniform in thickness, which is what I like. I rubbed it with Plowboys Bovine Bold Rub (first time use). Put it on the large at 250 dome and I think it went around 7 hours. Glazed it right before finish and snapped a few photos before foiling it for a 30 minute rest. Outstanding! Very moist and extremely tender. I was shooting for it to pull almost like pork, and that's very very close to what it did. On a another note, I am the proud owner of a brand new XL egg that I picked up Wednesday. Me and Gene are going to start it off right, with a load of chicken or ribs next Saturday for the Best Buckin BBQ comp in Athens, Al. This gives us the opportunity to use two XL's during comps. We are very excited! Hope all has a great evening!

Some things are just worth the money :laugh: That brisket looks awesome...making me hungry!
-
You didn't listen to a thing I suggested. You are just like my kids :-)
-
That close up of it sliced looks pic perfect!! What temp you pull it at?
-
What sauce did you use, Heath?
-
Pulled it at 200. Thanks!
-
It's a home made sauce that I mixed some beef broth with to thin it out.
-
Wow, that looks awesome!
-
Nice Heath and the XL...... very very nice and do not listen to a thing Gene says......
-
That brisket looks like it came out great. The sliced photos really show it off good. Best of luck at the competition.

I hear you about the brisket. My wife picked up a packer brisket for me and the whole thing weighs less than 9 lbs! I've never had one that small. She said the others were all $40 to $50 so she grabbed that one.Knoxville, TN

Heath, Ive been having a heck of a time finding decent sized choice brisket flats over here. Used to be able to get'em up to 10-11 pounds with no problem. More typial size now in most butcher shops is 6-7 with 8-9 being the exception. And they have gotten a ton more expensive.......I think because they are more popular as the price of beef soars.
-
Very moist-looking, especially with no fat cap to speak of. Congrats!_____________
Remember when teachers used to say 'You won't have a calculator everywhere you go'? Well, we showed them.

Same here. I stumble upon a whole brisket with a nice uniform flat, or a six pound flat by itself about once every 4 or 5 months. Very frustrating. I hit every store in a 30 mile radius.
-
Looks outstanding Heath!
-
Same here, Heath.

Load it up, ratchet strap it to the bed, and roll. I do take the inside ceramics out though. Lighter to load, so I just leave them out till I unload.
