Turbo brisket success

Wooderson

So on national brisket day I had a brisket in the freezer that I wanted to use up for a gathering we had.   Long story short I trimmed her up and ended up with about 11-12lbs, I didn't weigh it.  I injected about 16oz of water and minors au jus prep, then vacuumed sealed it overnight.   I got the egg up to 350 indirect and rubbed with SPG and just a little hot pepper rub, threw it on. 2hrs, then put a rack in an aluminum pan with 8oz of the au jus and wrapped in aluminum foil for another 2.5 hrs.  I probed and it was at temp and probed like butta.  Pulled it and wrapped her in a blanket for 6 hrs.  I haven't done too many brisket cooks,  but this was by far my best offering.   Melted in your mouth,  juicy,  flavor was on point.  I separated the point and cut up to make burnt ends.  Sliced the flat and I was left with no damn leftovers to make tacos or chili with.   I apologize for not getting better pics because I was very leary about how this would turn out.   I got the idea from Myron Mixon.  May be worth a try for folks out there. 
After the first 2 hrs.


If I were to do over again,  I would take the first 2 hrs to maybe 3 to get more bark,  but this was a trial and didn't want to change much.   No pics on the burnt ends because of beverages and lack of optimism on this cook,  but I'll definitely do this again.

However you get there and enjoy is all that matters in the end-game.  But these high-speed cooks really reduce your adult supervisory beverage time. 

No leftovers means it was quite a success.

Looks like a win to me.  Take it however you get it.  

With that said, it look like you could have improved the angle of your slice to get across the grain a little better.  It's hard to tell then when you have a good bark, so I sometimes cut a lead corner of the flat for a cook's treat and double purpose that to see how the grain of the meat is running.

The perpendicular grain run flat slice before seasoning is a must for me.  Takes the worry out of being close.

That's a relatively slick, no fuss method. 

I stopped chasing brisket a while ago. Didn't have the patience to work out the kinks in my MO. Having said that, of the top 3 briskets I ever did, a hot n fast brisky smoked in a UDS was one of them

That's why I've shyed away from briskets, because of the long cooks and I don't really want to invest in a temp regulator

I love turbo anything. Cars. Diesel trucks. Butts. Briskets. As others have said looks like a win. I stopped being scared of briskets years ago. I'm not Aaron Franklin so I cook em many ways. I've cooked em tough and needed to chop it. Cooked em mushy. Cooked em perfect and sliced them. Never have I thought "this thing sucks". Ill.try this method, thanks. Life's too short to fret over an over priced tough cut of meat. Even if said cut can become heaven on a smoker.

Welp. Another way to chase the brisket. And a great result as well. I have had brisket cook in 9 hours, and had them go 18. I researched to find a great chili recipe for all my failures. 

That is one sweet cook, and I am very happy you find the way. Thank you for sharing.
