Hey Everyone,
I am smoking my first beef brisket tonight. I picked up a 4 lb Mortan's pre-seasoned salt and pepper brisket. I usually don't buy pre-seasoned meat but it was on super sale. I have a couple questions.
I am smoking my first beef brisket tonight. I picked up a 4 lb Mortan's pre-seasoned salt and pepper brisket. I usually don't buy pre-seasoned meat but it was on super sale. I have a couple questions.
- Should I add any additional seasoning or would doing so make it too salty?
- Would rinsing off their seasoning and adding my own be advisable?
- On the Mortan's website it says to pull the meat off at 160 degrees. I have read that most people pull their briskets at 200 degrees. This is a small 4 lb brisket so what would you recommend pulling it at?

I wouldn't add any additional seasoning.
I wouldn't.
I'm going to assume it's not precooked? If not I would go until you can stick something in the thickest part of the flat with no resistance. That's usually I'm the 195-205 degree range.Large and Small BGECentral, IL -
One time this guy in a store stepped on my sneakers, and then poured Morton salt on them.

Turned out good. Would have liked a better bark but with the reduced cook time do to the small size it was not possible. Seasoning in package was ok. Was done in about 6 hrs and surprisingly tender. Can’t wait to try a bigger one next time!
