Anyone's underwear in a knot over this topic?? Geez, it's just a hunk of protein. But it does have quite the draw on a Monday PM.
Edit: Upon further review, I can salvage a brisket cook much easier than the cook too long prime rib. Hard to extract rare from any finish past that. But I'm sure there are ways to achieve that-I'm just missing it.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer!

Alright. Here's two briskets cooked recently about 1000 miles apart on the same day - the first one by me and the second one by @20stone.
I cooked 5 that day. 4 of them jiggled just like this. One of them was slightly undercooked and a little less juicy and jiggly, but still very good. It wasn't "dry" so much as it was "less moist" and it took more than a minimal pull to pull a standard pencil thin slice apart. So we sliced it a little thinner.
When I cook a brisket that I'm not happy with I usually chop it and add some vinegar-based sauce and make sandwiches. It's been over a dozen briskets since I had to do that.
I like 20stone's bark much better than mine. Now I know what to work on to get even better. I'll probably wrap in butcher paper a little later next time.
