That's a sweet looking brisket for sure. I haven't been able to find packers that small anywhere. I wish I could, so I could practice smoking a brisket without ending up with enough to feed an army!Try burnt ends sometime - I've heard they're not Texas bbq, but they're still damn tasty!#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

Next time add some minced smoked garlic and grind the pepper fresh, you'll really dig it then. Where did you find that small a packer. Twww.ceramicgrillstore.com ACGP, Inc.

Where did you get the 16 mesh pepper?I am going to ask Mr Henry at John Henry's spices and BBQ store here in Houston to see if he can get the 16 mesh. BTW, the Spice Store is the store William Penzy opened decades ago. His daughter runs it now.SpringramSpring, TexasLBGE and Mini

Dayum Griff...that looks great!I have been making that same BBQ sauce and we love it. I haven't tried it on brisket, but it is great on wings/ribs. Did you get it from the vid series?I was thinking if I try it on Brisket I might sub Worcestershire sauce for some of the cider vin.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

"> Thanks for all the kind words, Guys.
@Dyal_SC - you think you will get to Franklin's again when you come to Texas?
@PlanoPoke79 - brisket is hard to beat when done right and when done right, doesn't need sauce as you well know.
@ccsmoke - I didn't get 16 mesh pepper. I just ground peppercorns in a coffee grinder until I got the coarseness I wanted.
@The_Cen-Tex_Smoker - thanks, that means a lot coming from you.
@Eggcelsior - Soylent green...that is too funny.
@tjv- I got the brisket from the Dallas Farmer's Market form the North Star Ranch booth.
@SmokeyPitt - yup, I got the sauce from one of his youtube videos.
@piney - every brisket is going to be different. I usually start probing when it hits 190 and have had them go as far as 205. When the probe (I used a toothpick this time) slides in like butter with no resistance, its done. This particular one I pulled at 196.

Hard to follow a great cook like Griffin!! He does some amazing cooks!!

One fine looking brisket did you trim some fat off the cap? I got one here that will not eat fat under no circumstances, as where I think a little is fine

You have to leave some of the fat on or it will dry out. I tried to trim it down to about 1/4" all around. You can always cut the fat off the slices for the one who won't eat it.Rowlett, Texas

@Griffin, I hope so...we are staying in Lagrange for the first coupla days, then we are gonna stay in Austin for the last bit of the trip. My wife wants to do Franklin one day, and I want to stop at Blacks for dinner another night.

Notice how he has all these great cooks but only stopped in Salado for a minute. Didn't even say hi to me. Stuck up?Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

I was waiting to say hi to you, but you were busy. I think you were setting up lights with Mickey. I tried to say hi to everybody I could. Would have stayed longer had I not had a tire blowout in San Marcus that resulted in me sitting around in Austin for over 2 hours waiting to get a new tire.

Great Brisket - who needs a smoke ring? Creamed spinach too!

I can't wait to try to emulate this cook. I haven't had a well prepared brisket since Cooper's all too long ago. As for the sausage, I've been meaning to order some from Opa's, but never seem to get around to it. It just went up a notch on the priority list.As for grass fed beef, I personally think that it all comes down to preference. I've been eating steaks for a long time and in a lot of places, but I personally prefer a really "beefy" flavored steaks. Big fan of dry aged and grass fed. I've had Wagyu and other insanely marbled steaks, but if all you are getting is a really buttery steak with no beef flavor, why bother?
-
The Jack Daniels looked good too.
-
Just giving you a hard time. Mickey told me the only way I could cook at Salado was to do what he told me to. Damn, even washed his truck.Griffin said:I was waiting to say hi to you, but you were busy. I think you were setting up lights with Mickey. I tried to say hi to everybody I could.

I made this sauce yesterday (along with some deli style roast beef) and love the sweet & tangy taste; substituted chipotle chili powder because I didn't feel like going to the store. There seems to be a TON of butter though, don't see why I couldn't cut this in half and just use one stick, otherwise a pretty good sauce!

I'm trying your recipe Griffin with garlic powder added in the rub. She's cooking right now. Do you turn your brisket over during the cooking process? This is my first Green Egg brisket

I'll answer for grif. No. Just let it ride.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
Thanks The Cen-Tex Smoker!!! I'll let her ride LOL!!

Well Griffin....thanks a bunch!! Best tasting brisket that I've ever cooked. I didn't take a photo....but mine came out looking like the one you posted. I didn't get the "ring" either....though I had plenty of smoke. However, nobody cared...as the brisket was delicious and a total hit with the family and our guests. Thanks again!!

Glad it worked out well for you. Thanks for stepping in @The_Cen-Tex_Smoker
