Brisket Chili

This was my first shot at using a brisket for chili. I had a ~4lb piece of point that I had no plans for, so I threw it on the Egg with hickory and apple. It stayed in the 240-260 range.

I threw a couple heads of garlic on as well to smoke them.

Took about 9 hours to get nice and buttery tender

Tonight I chopped up about 3/4 of it and made a pot of chili. I used just our standard recipe, nothing special just home made seasoning, kidney beans, tomatoes.

Turned out pretty well I think. Nice smoke profile without anything overpowering. Super tender brisket. Next time I need to make sure to trim out more fat before putting it in the chili, but no big deal.

I love everything about this post. Some brisket chili and a nice stout are calling me!Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Looks great and I love brisket chili. How was the smoke flavor on the garlic? When I roast garlic I like cut the a little bit of the top off and put a little olive oil on it. If it didn't have a lot of smokey flavor you could try that.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.
