    My first flat was like that. Had to get Popeye's because it wasnt ready in time. 
  • bump it dude. You have hours to go if you don't. 275 grid will get you done in an hour or so

  • and you have at least an hour after it's done before you can slice it and get it in the fridge. Bump it

    Well damn, it's nearly 11 on the east coast and still haven't seen a finished pic from @hapster.  Maybe I should have hopped on a plane and got him some more Tito's.

    Depending on what time you have to get up tomorrow Hap I'd let it go another hour and then FTC it and put it in the fridge tomorrow.  But like I said, no idea what your schedule is for tomorrow.

    Looks great Hap! I have to say though, I wouldn't be able to sleep without making a fresk brisket sammie. I would toss and turn in bed while having nightmares of VI stealing my brisket.

    The brisket looks incredible @Hapster.  Sorry it turned out to be one of those cooks that just won't finish...we have all had those! 


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    @Hapster that is one mean brisket.  Must have been a right handed one!

    Okay.... Got home from work and almost forgot the brisket was in the fridge.

    Fat chance...

    The simple sea salt, course ground pepper, and onion powder was just the right type of spice for this little beast. The oak smoke added just the right amount of taste and smokiness; even the day after when things tend to taste even more smokey.

    Sliced a few slices of it cold and popped in the mic for about a minute. Came out tender and juicy...

    The cook timing could have been better; but I was being stupidly impulsive and paid for it with a longer cook. On the other hand; learned that this might well be my new and only way to do this cut on the egg going forward.

    Thanks for all the encouragement guys...

    Charlie.... It seem like a 2 to 3 stick cook :)
    This is from the flat end, cut cross grain. Might see if there is a little point on it shortly.

    Looks great Hap!!  Sometimes the reward for such a frustrating cook comes the next day when you have a damn good meal in less time then it would take to make a peanut butter sandwich.

    Welcome to the K.I.S.S. Brisket Club. We probably had varying done times because I was using a 5.5lb grass fed packer and you were using a 7lb flat, but it looks like you got it done ok in the end. I'd take some of that right about not.

    Great cook Hap, my first ever brisket a few years ago was a flat and it was shoe leather and have only done packers since. Now that I am armed with some experience and the forum I think I will try another flat. Thanks guys.
