    First Brisket

    First ever brisket was a small 4lber that I was gifted from my extended families farm in PA. Turned out as well as I could have hoped. Just needed more smoke in the beginning to get the ring.

      That looks awesome.  That's as good as a flat gets.

      Great result right there.  You have established a benchmark that will challenge you every follow-on brisket cook.  That is a sweet place to be.  Especially impressive is cranking that out with a flat.  Well done.

      Real great results, especially from such a small cut. Bravo!

      fyi  smoke does not cause the ring so adding more will not get you the look you desire.  smoke adds flavor -  so if the smoke flavor was what you liked then you added the right amount.

      In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

      Nice, what internal temperature did you take the brisket up to?
