Lol...I really think it just rested too long for my liking. The flavor was spot on...just wasn't good as my last brisket so I guess I set the bar too high. Lolcaliking said: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!

The texture on some of the point resembled mush and even though I cut across the grain.The Cen-Tex Smoker said:so what didnt you like about it?Texture?
The flat wasn't as tender as was it was last time so I missed my mark a tad. I'm still trying to determine if the butcher wrap added anything. I will try again though because it didn't hurt anything either.
The funny thing is, each person at it without sauce (was on table) and cleaned their plates, so it wasn't bad by any means.
What is your sweet spot for rest (how long)? I assume you always rest, correct? I honestly usually don't unless I finish early.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -

I bet it was the wrap. The brisket I made in Salado was rested 5 hours and it was money. Ive done several 5-6 hour holds and they have all been awesome. I have found that most crutched brisket is mushy. I'm sure there is a science to it but it's above my pay grade. No wrap, no inject, no spray.....I find the simpler I keep it, the better it is. . Franklin cooks hot (like 325) so he wraps to protect the bark from scorching once it looks right to him.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

I prolly was, my last one was insane and I followed more normal technique. Simple, simple, simple. I know it's not good to mess up a good thing, but I just like experimenting. The texture in the some of the point was unlike any I have made so you're probably right.

i like to play around with it too but i've had crutched brisket abd found it mushy. i've had Franklin's too and it's really good so there is something to it. maybe needs to be crutched when cooked hotter? I dunno. for now, i'm good without itKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

So, at a minimum, how long do you rest yours for?

cazzy what kind of knife did you get? i've been looking for a long slicer but I have no idea what to get.
-
It's a Victorinox 12-Inch Granton Edge. I really like it, especially for the price point.

I was about to ask the same question. Is that a Forschner? -
Apparently Victorinox used to be named Forschner.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

That's an awesome deal on that knife. It's 15 bucks more on other sites. I've had my eyes on it.

1-3 hours but I've gone way longer and they seem to do hold up perfectly. Like I said above, The "Salado Brisket" was like 5-6 and the texture was awesomeKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
