My First SRF Brisket Adventure

in EggHead Forum
This was a 16.9 lb Black.  I watched a video on the SRF website that trimmed it a bit differently than I normally do, so I decided to try it out:
https://ytube.io/3ZeD

Trimmed 4lbs of fat and 1lb of scraps for future ground beef.  Seasoned with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Using my 11 year old CyberQ, I stabilized at 250, put it on at 10:30 pm and went to bed.  Woke up around 5:30 and the Egg was at 200, brisket at 160.  I removed the fan and finished the cook at 240ish.  Wrapped and at 10:00 am it probed like butter at 205.  FTC for 3 hours, lunch at noon.  

For me SRF is like an expensive single malt scotch, hard to go back to Cutty Sark once you have tasted the difference!

Thanks for looking!

    Truer words regarding brisket not spoken around here (substituting brown for blonde water).  
    Nailed that cook.  Way to bring it home.  
    Given you reside in TX you likely have brisket buy opportunities that us pedestrians can only dream about.
    Happy New Year.

    For sure, I moved to TX from Seattle10 years ago, never noticed a brisket in any grocery store up there!  I drink vodka now, can't afford the scotch I like.

    Thank you! When I moved to TX 10 years ago, my goal was to learn how to cook a brisket and bake buttermilk briskets.  I am satisfied with both goals.
