First SRF brisket

Finally waded in to the deep end. Made my first SRF brisket. It didn’t disappoint. I was fearful that I didn’t do it justice. I never understood how some guys said 20 hours for a brisket. This one like others before were about 1 hour per pound or less. 
I had some friends over to share in the beefy goodness. I also made some ABT’s and some baby back’s.  

Nothing crazy as far as rubs. Kept it simple all the way around.

    I have to admit. Those ribs came from a local farm(pasture raised)   The most unusual shape I’ve ever seen. Pretty good though.

    Dang- way to bring it home.  Congrats.  Nothing magical about SRF or any other brisket cut-the finish is always the same.  Just that the SRF may get there a bit faster.  Nailed it.

    Brisket cooks are fun, and when you go Wagyu, you get a very delicious meal. Your images look awesome, and congrats.
    I have experienced fast cook times and crawling cook times, as I usually cook with prime or better. To borrow a phrase from @lousubcap, the cow drives the cook, you get what you get, and upon occasion, the cow kicks your backside in the most humbling manner. That is why there is brisket chili.
    Great cook, great post, thank you for sharing.
