First SRF Brisket

minniemoh

Started with 14.6 lbs and trimmed to a little over 13. Salt, pepper, oak. It really cooked fast - I expected it might cook a little faster than some that I've cooked but this was done in 9 hrs at 250 degrees. I was timing my cook for about an hour per pound. I got up to check on it at 8 hrs and thought I might wrap in butcher paper. That's when I found it at about 200 degrees and probing pretty good. Left it on for another hour until I got butter. It's in FTC until noon for an Outback Bowl gathering. I'll post some sliced pics later.

Well, I will say that I was a little nervous as to whether or not this would turn out or be "that" much better than a Costco prime (I have probably cooked 20 or so of those over the past 3 years). I can say without a doubt, this was the best brisket I have ever cooked or eaten (never been to Franklin's or the other hot joints in Austin but I have eaten a lot of very good Texas brisket). While the sliced pics don't really highlight now damn good it was, I will say that it was truly amazing - several of my friends that were here were also here for some of my personal best briskets prior to this and their sentiments were the same. Done at 6 AM and rested until the majority of our open-house party goers got here at 2 PM. Sliced at 145 degrees after the FTC. Juicy, tender, flavorful like I've never had from the egg.

Big thanks to @lousubcap and @SRFShane as this was the brisket that I was lucky enough to win back on Memorial Day weekend. So great... Thank you!

@minniemoh   Thanks for the nod but @westernbbq and @SRFShane are the key players here. @westernbbq got the thread going, someone found that it was running along with National Brisket Day and @SRFShane just rolled in as SRF is becoming famous for in this small corner of the brisket world.
Now with that cleared up-great cook and result right there. That is a thing of beauty.  Bark and moisture are off the charts.  Way to nail the cook.  Congrats.

That looks fantastic! That makes my salmon fillets on the mini tonight look like White Castle

Looks great.  I had been wondering the same thing about SRF vs. prime Costco.  Now I know and my credit card will be put through the wringer.

Ahhh! Correct Cap. It was @westernbbq. Thanks for all the compliments guys. I'm sure glad I went with blind faith and bought in the 2-fer deal they had in November. I can't wait to make the next one!

In honor of next weekend's National Brisket Day, I wanted to give this great cook from last year's SRF winner a bump.
