My 10 year daughter ordered brisket for her birthday dinner. She actually said "Wagu brisket...like new years". Our local butcher is pretty good but unfortunately the "American wagu" was no longer on sale. But its my girl's birthday, here is the 16 lber pre and post rub. Using meat church and southern soul dust combo. It will go on about 5am Sunday morning. 22 folks coming. Wish me luck.


Fish, Hunt, Cook....anything else?

    Now you have created a true brisket connoisseur right there.  If she can tell the difference at the close of the cook then you are in deep trouble for the long-haul  ;).  Looks like a great hunk of protein.  You obviously don't need any luck but I will wish you "luck" anyhow.  You must be cooking "hot" to get that across the finish-line with some FTC at a reasonable time.  
    Enjoy the cook and party celebration.

    Brisket god I am not...but are you cranking the heat up on that dude? That’s a big ol hunk of meat for a 13ish hour cook.

    And in comes @lousubcap ahead of me to make the same comment. 

    @thetrim if Navy would have had that speed in December you would be short a bottle of bourbon.  =)

    @Killit_and_Grillit - problem was they had that speed with the back-to-back false start penalties that pushed the attempted game-winning field goal back 10 yards.  
    Apologize for the post hi-jack  =)

    Yeah I'll go a tad hot and fast. 275 for 6 hours. Then I'll use the ole Texas crutch for 6 or so hours and dial the heat up to 300-320 near the end. I did this by necessity a few years ago and it ended up working out great. Been doing them all the same sense. I also turbo pork butts. Aaron Franklin cooks at 275 according to his book but obviously there are many ways to skin a cat. Thanks for looking.

    @DoubleEgger, that sounds about right for my 10th too. What I failed to mention is we are triple celebrating. My daughter, my mom, and my sister in law (my daughter's god mother) all had birthdays this week. But the daughter got to choose the meal.

    Your daughter has much better taste than I did. I would have been lobbying for Pizza Hut so I could play the tabletop Ms. Pacman.

    I used Travis method to "boill" a 17 pounder at christmas and cooked at 275 - 300 until at 160 then wrapped and went to 350-375 and it was great and done in 12 hrs.
