I'm doing this 2.5 lb Brisket Flat. I know, I am crazy. PICTURES!!!
Went to Sam's and bought a small flat. I've had good luck in the past w/ whole packers but, I figured I would give it a shot. It's my day off so what the hell. I'm on a diet so buying a packer would be a disaster (for my belly). I know it's going to be difficult to keep the moisture in, it has some good looking fat on it and I will spray or mop to attempt to keep it moist. Anyways, here's some pictures. Plan on going 260 til it's done (I have no idea how long that will be)
I love this grate! Cut my light time from 30+ minutes to ready to cook in 10!
260 ish... Ready to Go!!!
Will keep ya'll posted

if you have a way to inject with beef broth, might be better than mopping and such. If it comes out on the dry side, chop and add sauce.....twww.ceramicgrillstore.com ACGP, Inc.

Hope it turns out okay for you. I would have ground it and made 4 nice burgers with it.

I've been tempted to do a really small one too. Should be interesting. Maybe a longer crutch with foil and beef broth/ coffee/ something? --Would help the dryness.?Slumming it in Aiken, SC.

It's crawling along right now, 150ish i.t. Turned it fat-side up. Hoping the nice fatty side will keep the rest lubed up for the rest of the cook68% of statistics are made up on the spot.

****Update**** I noticed this little sucker trying to dry up on me. I'm not having any of that funny business, wrapped in HD tin foil at 175ish.68% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Wait that took more than 20 mins to cook? That's like a Beef McNugget down here. Its so cute.Just kidding I've been wanting to cook a small flat for a long time. There's just 2 of us to eat a packer, and SWMBO gets upset when she doesn't get to eat any of it.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

@caliking - haha, yea. It's just a little baby. w/ the used charcoal and meat it's going to be a 25 dollar sandwich
If I were to cook a whole packer I'd be in a meat comma questioning my existence.68% of statistics are made up on the spot. -
***UPDATE*** 187 I.T. still wrapped in tin foil. I can feel the meat starting to settle down a little bit. I hope this is good. If not, I'll just keep cooking and have some phenomenal beef jerky. Regardless of outcome I will post pictures.68% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Start checking for done by stabbing it with a skewer. Should slide in like butter. You're at the low end of the range where it will be done and you don't want to cook it any longer than you have to. (99.5% of the time).

Congrats on a most eggcellent flat-with that out of the gate there's no pressure on the next one. You eggceeded all eggspectations for such a hunk of beef. Glad you enjoyed!Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.
