    Nailed that cook right there.  Wall to wall greatness.
    I have been using the Carnivore Back for a couple of months now.  I am infrequently in search of a good commercial brisket rub for when I am too lazy to make my own.  Does a nice job with the brisket bark-as you would expect, a real meteorite finish.  FWIW-
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint.  
  • Enjoyed the rub a lot! Will have to try it out on a brisket some time!

    I love the look of that stuff. Does the flavor match the appearance? Beautiful!

    I love Carnivore Black. It has pretty quickly become my goto for big flavour meat cuts. 

    And that is a mighty fine cut of meat just beautifully cooked! You need to make one of your New Year's resolutions cooking that as many times as your arteries will take!

    It looks like you either did a reverse sear or possibly a sous vide cook followed by a sear. Care to share how you did it?

    Slightly bending the topic but I use Carnivore Black on briskets with my Pit Barrel Cooker. You get the most delectable meat-eorite that I have ever encountered.

    Took a bath for a while Sous Vide at 129 degrees then finished in a screaming hot cast iron with some garlic/shallot butter for about 30-45 seconds a side then rested for a bit.

    Great stuff. I'll sometimes do the finish sear on my chimney charcoal lighter with a cast iron grill on top. Can sometimes be a bit hard to control flare up though.
  • Great cook brother... color looks great...
