Playing some more with the xl. Did steaks and asparagus friday night. Note to self, keep the cast iron skillet as close as possible to the lump while blackening for best affect. Finished the steaks to temp in the dome. Shrooms in the foil pouch.
Today, slow smoked a 6.5 pound brisket flat. On at 6 am, Hit the first shot off #1 at 8:40 for a lazy 18 holes.....gotta love the egg and guru combo - no worries.
Pulled the flat around 5pm, 1.5 hours in the cooler. So tender, it cut with a fork. Split down the middle when slicing.
Ever wonder how important the point is to a brisket's tenderness and moistness. Check the bottom side of the brisket flat as some of the point was still present. Pics are the same flat, just 180 degree shots. Juicy!

1. raised grid indirect set up with rig: grid on top, 11x15 pan on 3.0 middle bracket and 14" bge stone on 1.5 lowest bracket. guru set to 230ish grid temp with probe on front end of grid over pan
2. Sams club 6.5 pound choice grade flat. try to find one with even thickness across entire flat. I don't like to go below 5.5 pounds on flats and always choice grade.
3. wash flat and give quick smell test. trim the fat strings off the top side. thin real fatty areas on fat cap side but still leave some fat protecting meat.
4. for spicy flavor use worchester sauce as a coating before rub. rudy's rub on this one.
5. smoked with 3 small chunks of pecan.
6. when flat hit the plateau, 165ish internal temp, foiled and finished to 200 degrees.
7 rested in cooler for 1.5 hours and sliced against grain. forgot to put fat cap side up in cooler.
I think the big keys with brisket is meat selection, hitting the internal temp and letting it rest.www.ceramicgrillstore.com ACGP, Inc. -
