Brisket finished last night

SmokeyD

So I decided to try another brisket using a different brine. I have used a lot of sweet water spice's brines and they are fantastic, but I have been working on some of my own.
This one the main ingredients were molasses, apple juice concentrate, chipotle powder, salt, and water, and cinnamon. Brined it for about 12-13 hours.
Started with a 11 pound brisket.
Rinsed it off ad let it sit for about 3 hours to get up to room temperature.
Added a rub to it that contained 4 different types of chili pepper powders, salt, salt pepper, some brown sugar, and a few other things that I can't remember right now.
Put it in a 230 degree egg. Indirect using the spider and adjustable rig setup. I put it on the top rack of the adjustable rig.
I had 3 probes hooked up to it from the stoker and let it cook for about 10 hours. After 10 hours I pulled it off and wrapped it in foil. Let it cook for about another 5 hours until it hit 190, pulled it wrapped it in a towel and threw it in a cooler. I left the leads connected so I could watch the temp and see how it was really doing. about 4 hours later it was still in the 160-170 range.
Sliced it and served. It was incredible, one of the best that I have done.

Smokey,

Great looking brisket.

The wife does not eat red meat, so I do not foresee me making one in the near future.

:(

Looks exactly like my last one, same deep smoke ring. Great brisket.

If my wife didn't eat red meat, it wouldn't change what I cook. I cook what I like. It doesn't have anything to do with what my wife likes. Fortunately she likes what I cook. In fact, she likes it a lot.

Wow, I can taste it from here.

Thanks for that.

I definitely cook what I want. I cook steaks all the time. However with something as big as a brisket, it is a little tough to eat alone.

Looks Great! I just picked one up last night to do for the 4th. Good thing I'm headed out of town for the weekend because looking at your photo would have tempted me cook it now.

My wife loves it, she says this one had little too much kick to it. But it was cuttable with a fork and it had an incredible bark, great texture and nice fire ring. It tasted great to me.
It was even better that it was 99 cents a pound at target(I normally don't buy meat from there but I couldn't resist at that price).
