So today is a day of firsts. I bought an untrimmed Prime brisket from Costco and then accidentally bought a Flame Boss.
I have never done a brisket. I have done tons of shoulders and ribs. I always trim the hard fat off my shoulders and most the cap.
My plan is to do a simple rub and use the pit controller with temp running around 225. For that type of cook how should I trim it? I am assuming there is a reason they charge another $7 for a trimmed brisket.
If it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing.

Flame Boss?
Nice.....
Don't be shy with the knife. You will end up with like 2 lbs of trimmins

My chili did not suck. My wings either.
Time to start watching videos. From the posts I think I'm planning on hard fat gone and I'll figure out the rest once I have the knife.

What am I drinking now? Woodford....neat
I put a few chunks of cherry in too. I have the pit controller up and running. I am tracking with my Maverick. Figure what the hey. Best time to use the new toy is 11 at night on something I have never cooked before. You can never have to many firsts.

I used Oakridge competition beef and pork rub.
Only brisket I have ever had was lean. So not sure what I like best. I better try both!

@lousubcap I plan to slice and serve it all. This is my first brisket rodeo so I have no idea what to expect.
