New to the forum and a Brisket Cook
Greetings all,
Long time lurker first time poster. Have had the large egg for about 9 months now and it’s been great. I upgraded from a master built electric smoker. One of thing I couldn’t quite get down that I had dialed in on the electric smoker was a brisket. After about my 5th try on the egg I finally got one to turn out. 14 lb choice brisket from my local supermarket. Just got lucky picking one. Didn’t have to trim hardly and fat off of it with a pretty thick flat and good marbling in the point. Rubbed with salt and pepper and smoked over post oak at 250.

Great looking cook and nice bend to your brisket! Welcome! If you don’t mind me asking, what is your technique with using post oak? Do you bury it before lighting your lump? Drop in on top before you put the brisket on? How do you do it?

Thanks. For the post oak, I try to go do about a 1:3 ratio of wood to lump. Will start by laying some chunks down, then pour some lump on, then some more chunks, more lump etc. I try to get the wood evenly dispersed throughout the lump. Takes a bit longer for the acrid white smoke to dissipate with that much wood though.Jcl5150 said:Great looking cook and nice bend to your brisket! Welcome!

Welcome! Nice work! Check Costco for their prime briskets a great deal :-)“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

Welcome! That brisket looks great!
Dive in here and post often. A few folks here really know what they are doing. Most (like me) just enjoy cooking and trying to figure it out. Don’t feed the trolls and have fun.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
