Brisket Sunday

Couldnt find a packet so settled for a 8.7 pound flat. Started out at 200 and let it settle for an hour before I passed out. Did an Aaron Franklin recipe and it is truly delicious. Did not foil until after I took it off the egg and FTC for 5 hours. Woke up to it being done in a little over 8 hours and the dome temp at 270. I expected the temp to raise in the egg overnight but not that high, oh well.

    Great looking grub brother. Nice job.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Dang-that's a home-run right there.  Enjoy the eats-wish I had a brisket cook going.

  • Looks great bud. Had the heat rise on mine also, but got the meat off at 207F. It was perfect. I did a full packer. Can't wait to get another one!!!

    Nice dude! I got lucky and when I woke up it was at 195 at the thickest point and 203 at the smaller side. So I pulled and wrapped immediately. Can't wait to put a packer on te BGE and get me some solid burnt ends!
