Buffalo vs beef brisket

wepinsf

Any suggestions on buffalo vs beef brisket given that buffalo is supposedly leaner? Test grilled a 3lber yesterday at 235. Wrapped at 165, cooked to 195 (total cook time a little over 6 hours) but still came up a bit dry. Thank you all.

Any photos prior to cooking?
At 3 pounds, I'm assuming it was only a small portion of brisket flat. Always tough to get just a small portion of the flat to come out moist even on beef.
Can't count the number of times I have seen people post about doing a brisket test run using only a small 3-4 pound piece of the flat. Cooking a whole brisket, point and flat, is sooooo different and IMO much easier.
But the biggest tip I can give you, it's done when it's tender. Use temp only as a guide. When it probes tender in the thickest part of flat, it's done. The point is more forgiving.

Lets not bring the buffalo into this

lean brisket is bad for bbq. Also, any 3lb brisket is bad for bbq. 

3lbs and lean?…grind it up for burgers and add fat.

You need to cook big full packers to compare,. But I  find buffalo to be meager in flavor. It makes beef taste gamey

In another thread confit was brought up. I wonder if that would be good for buffalo.

$1,700, is that for the entire bison?

Beefalo meat is a better option than straight bison in my opinion.  Note that I rarely eat either one and have never cooked a bison brisket.
