Labor Day brisket thread
Come on, lets see them!
This prime packer went on the egg around 6 a.m. Just salt and pepper, over Rockwood and cherry chunks. Got this one from the local butcher. My Costco doesn't carry packers, or I would probably do one every week haha!

Currently still in fridge waiting for this rain to get out of here... raining since 3:00 a.m. And wanted to get started at 5. One thing to get started in the dark, it's another when lightening is non stop..

I will be doing two flats tomorrow, both a little over 2lbs, total about 4.5 lbs. I have only ever done packers before, do you estimate the time on the 2 or 4.5 lbs? I am assuming these will be a lot faster than the packers and just not sure on temp, I always ran about 300 dome temp on the packers, should I do these lower?
pics will be tomorrow...BrianFairview, Texas -
I'm not doing one this year. I'm doing pepper stout beef tomorrow. Looking forward to sandwiches tomorrow and Monday.Marshall in Beautiful Fruit Cove, FL.

Two pounds is pretty small. I have only done packers before, but I'm sure the collective wisdom on this site can surely steer you better than me! Have fun and definitely post pics!brimee said:I will be doing two flats tomorrow, both a little over 2lbs, total about 4.5 lbs.

i need to cook some brisket!Chicago, IL - Large and Small BGE - Weber Gasser and Kettle -
Did you use the entire brisket for burnt ends? What recipe did you use? unoriginalusername said:

No the flat was sliced and the point was cubed for burnt ends in the pan.Daddyshack said:Did you use the entire brisket for burnt ends? What recipe did you use? unoriginalusername said:
it was the best one I’ve done yet. I salt dry brined it for two days before uncovered in the fridge then rubbed it overnight and cooked for about 5.5 hours before separating the point and flat and wrapping individually -

Put mine on at midnight, ive hit the stall for the last hour or so, (145) hopefully done by 3 when is a good time to cut the tip off for burnt ends??

Left over brisket, ribs and chicken cubbed up over some hash browns with eggs and spicy sausage. Amazing

That was a good looking breakfast. I had bacon with my eggs and going to make some tomato sandwiches here shortly.Marshall in Beautiful Fruit Cove, FL.

Here is my offering. Put on at 6:30 last evening and around midnight looked at my phone to see what the temp was thinking at some point I’d be wrapping in butcher paper. Not so- no stall at all and was done at 2:30 this morning. Quickest brisket I’ve ever done. Brought inside and FTC till late morning and carved up. Half in slices and the rest for burnt ends.
