<p />PING carwashmike,
Here you go jc.
I took the brisket already trimmed, added rub and then covered with white sugar over night.[p][p][p]Took a paper towel to remove what little sugar was left. Added just a little more rub. I then took bacon out and got to room temp, just better to work with. Got egg to 225, good clean burning fire. Added cherry chunks, indirect with drip pan with 8 oz. of apple juice.
Fat cap down and completely covered brisket with bacon.
Sorry no pic of that.[p]Put on 9am and took off around 8pm. Wrapped in foil for about 1 hour before slicing. Not on the egg. Room temp. I pulled at 195 range.
Separated point and flat. Put point back on in foil. Very tender burnt ends.[p][p]I really babied this, as I was having trouble with briskets. Just finished the leftovers tonight, pa was very impressed.
It was easily my best brisket ever. I'm cooking another this Friday. Just to make sure
Local store doesn't mind slicing for me, but you can get by with a knive it is so tender.[p]HTH[p]Mike

PING carwashmike, just so you know. If you follow the recipe in Dr. BBQ's cookbook, the brisket comes out incredible also!!

Car Wash Mike,[p]Great looking results. Been egging for awhile now, but just tried my first brisket 2 weeks ago using brown sugar (turbinado) instead of white. The sugar does make a huge difference, I agree.[p]Please do tell if you have a recipe for a good tomato-based, Texas style red sauce for beef brisket. If I can find an interesting sauce concoction, then it is a brisket weekend fro me too.[p]Thanks in advance.[p]Just-Dave

Howdy, Stranger!
