This brisket was unreal. $1.49 per lb 4th of July special. My god man. This was killer. Holy cow man. Did I mention this was good? Bad Byron's. oak. Period. And I'm floating in the middle of Lake Travis with the kids and friends. Life is very good today.

Looks really good. Still intimidated by brisket. Working myself up to try one before the summer is over.

So I cut this one a little different and I loved it. I posted a vid from Robert Rodriguez last month where he cuts the flat off where the point starts then he cuts the point down the middle longways (turn 90 degrees after you gut off the flat). That's what this pic is. Made a huge difference. Bark all the way around every bite.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Alright-I'm mentally prepping for the 9lb brisket in my freezer. Lots to consider, but one question I have is burnt ends. I love the idea and sound of burnt ends, but is this "finished" in any way after the long brisket cook? Franklin's videos are great about informing about both the meat and the cook, but I get the sense that there's more work to do with this piece.It's an obsession, but it's pleasin'

I don't do burnt ends. That cut you see above is what you would cube up to make burnt ends. It's the best piece so I eat it as it is. Burnt ends are delicious but not really traditional in our area. I wouldn't give up my delicious point for anything.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
Cen-Tex, give us the cook detail one more time, please. That piece looks so moist and good. I've got to master this.Dave - Austin, TX

I'm curious as to why a brisket has such a "fear factor" built into them.They are my favorite smoke, and after doing dozens of them (mostly on my $50 water smoker) I've only had one bad one. AND, it was a double brisket smoke, the other one was perfect, so I think I just got a bad piece of meat.As long as you cook to temp (and, on my water smoker, I didn't) and take it to 200 F, I don't see how you can go wrong.Aggie96, dammit, it's early July! Do NOT wait until the end of the summer to try one! Just do it, darnit!And post pics, mmmkay?_____________

I've got to master this.Trim all hard fat off and trim any thick pieces of the fat cap down to 1/8 inch or sorub all over with Bad byronsGet really drunk while the fire is getting goingThrow on 5-6 decent sized oak chunksThrow brisket on in a fog and eyeball the draft door/daisy settings to approximate 250 degreesPass outwhen done, FTC for an hour or 8Now for the slice:Find where the point and flat meet and cut the flat off right there.Turn point 90 degress and cut it right down the middle.Start slicing the point from the fat end (where you cut it off) down toward the skinny end. That way everyone gets the best bites firstcut the point from the center cut of each half out toward the ends.This is really not that hard of a cook but it does take a few to get the hang of it.Once you do, they just get better and better.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

I bought a 14 pound black angus choice brisky today. They were behind the counter - the meat guy thought I was crazy when I asked him for the largest, floppiest one. I explained - the floppy ones have less hard fat. He said he'd remember that.
