My break is officially over, making some BBQ for my wife's coworkers. They're from Nashville and Florida and they wanted some Texas BBQ. With that, I thought a brisket would be a good representation of what we do around these parts. More to follow.

Yikes! That's crazy expensive. This is what I'm going to miss when we move to Nashville in August 2014. :(pswarren said:Looks great! Great price too, that piece of meat would be around $45-$50 around here.

I tried to, but he wasn't done with VI's wok cook. Ugh!Mickey said:So, did you take it over to Travis's house to get it cooked?

Lol...next time, I'll avoid the suspense and just post the entire cook.Griffin said:Are you sure this is a cook thread? So far all we've seen is a hunk of meat.

Don't pay any attention to Mickey. He's just mad that VI is going to host the entire Salado Eggfest in his home next year. I'm looking forward to lighting a bunch of eggs in VI's living room with one of those flamethrowing torches people use.

Had to delay the cook, so here we are today. Decided I was going to wrap in butcher paper and see if it makes a positive or negative difference.At about 181...about to wrap and throw back on the egg.
I don't think i'll be running out of paper anytime soon so I hope I like the results. It's the same brand of butcher paper that Aaron Franklin uses. Picked it up in Austin for $27.

If you're not happy with the results on the brisket you can always use it to wrap Christmas presents!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada

Did you trim the brisket?
-
Yep...I always trim them.bclarksicle said:Did you trim the brisket?Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -
How much did you trim off? Just curious. I followed the general instructions from Aaron Franklin's YouTube video on my last cook and it worked out pretty well.
-
I trim pretty much the same way. I was winging it with decent success before I fine tuned my method after watching the Aaron Franklin video.I would guess it was 1-1.5 pounds of various fat after I was done. I saved the trimmings so I can make some Beef Love. Thanks @HogHeavenJust a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

Well, my last brisket was much better, but our guests loved it. I'm just overly picky, but I also think it would have been better if it didn't rest for 3 hours.My cutting board...and I love my new knife!
This looks familiar!

Didn't get too many shots of the brisket since I was plating.

You're right... That is a terrible brisket. Send the rest over to me for disposal, so you don't have to suffer it any more.
Seriously though, I wish my briskets looked like yours. I'll take a couple of sammies!#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.
