Best Brisket Yet

shadowcaster

A few friends and I went to the Chris Cagle show last night. I figured, whats the best meal before a country show, BBQ! So I went to the meat market on Friday after work and bought another CAB brisket flat. They are pricey but so worth it! The Egg was hotter than I thought when I put it on and the IT of the meat shot up to 151* in just under 2 hours. I thought I screwed it up. I lowered the temp on the egg a bit and it went pretty smooth after that. It was about 7.5 pounds and took about 8 hours to cook. Eveyone who came over was amazed at how good this brisket was and I have to say it was pretty damn good. So moist and the flavor was perfect. I'm not trying to toot my own horn here but I was so excited about how it came out.

Nice cook man. Now that you are getting into the brisket world a small suggestion: http://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-12-Inch-Granton-Slicing-Fibrox/dp/B0000CFDB9/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400415874&sr=8-1&keywords=Victorinox+meat+slicing+knife ... Also Chicago Cutlery makes one just as good at half the price but has wood handle.

@Mickey‌ I have been wanting to get a nice slicer for a little while now but evertime I have a few extra bucks laying around something comes up. That is my next BBQ purchase though

Once more nice cook. Look at the Chicago Cutlery knife just like it. They last a life time.

Thanks Mickey. I will look into those as well

I have the Messermeister version.  Any carving knife will do, there are no bones and it's not especially challenging to carve if you know the muscle fiber directions.

Toot away.  You are among friends.

Looks great - still waiting to find a place that sells packers here in the culinary wasteland of SoCal.
