    This. Don't ever drink with LS because he'll always drink you under the table...since he is already under the table.

    That looks like a good-sized brisket.  13lbs?  
    16.7. It is a beast. Trimmed down to 14.
    Sweet. It looks good so far. Try not to eff it up.

    Don't worry about him. His eff ups are usually better than the rest of our's wins.

    He is Captain Brisket, after all.

    conundrum........this thing is done at 180. It is like butter all over. I'm guessing it's the extra fat or something but I'm going to go with my gut and pull it. It's got the jiggle

    Hit it with a sledge-a-matic. If it splatters more than 3 feet, it's done.

    You never know with those one off brands. :)

    It's done. I really wish I could post a quick vid. It jiggled like a bowl of jello when I put it on the table. Never had one do it like this. Especially at 180-ish. image

    I would worry that the fat is what made it shoogily and the connective tissue didn't break down. That's just me of course. I don't have anyone that likes me well enough to give me $140 pesos piece of meat.

    I'm totally worried about it but I found a competition forum where guys use SRF briskets. They said they are usually done in the upper 180's to 190 but when you can take a skewer and run it all the way through top to bottom in the thickest part with little resistance it's done. It was like it wasn't even there. I'm hoping it will firm up in the cooler. Hope I'm not wrong but I've never had one so buttery. It was over 180 everywhere and almost 190 in parts by the time I had the stones to pull it. the point was like it was not even there. It was like air.

    Last night when you called asking for advice on how to cook a brisket you didn't tell me is was Wagyu beef or I would have told you to pull it at 185-190. Oh well I'm glad it worked out for you.

    Water with bourbon will do just fine-although you can have too much water (or not enough bourbon) although I doubt you would err in that direction!

     

    I know a good craftsman never blames his tools but bourbon and I are not getting along at the moment. We are currently in an uneasy truce much like the settlers and Native Americans of days gone by. We have a mutual need for survival so we are keeping our distance. but we are still keeping a keen eye on one another from afar.
    you... know... you ... want ...it...

    Next time, you may want to save yourself all the heartache and call someone who knows how to cook a brisket =))

    this was nuts. probably the best i've ever had. I'm still giving Franklin the nod but that may be more out of respect since I did nothing right on this cook. This meat was out of this world. I can tell you that in the right hands, this is special. In my hands, it was really good. Crazy good. All i did was salt, pepper, and oak. I F-d up the fire, pulled it at a weird temp (i was totally right though). I may never buy another type of brisket again. i would rather do less and do them like this than chase mediocre cuts at grocery stores. more to come but this was a moon shot home run. Just had to update before slipping in to a tito's induced coma. wow

    Bravo!!! Now I'm going to have to find out where I can get one of these things... Sounds like if every dealer had samples of this available on the weekends, they'd have nothing but empty showrooms ;)
