Beef Brisket ?? help now with pic!

Eggbert 75

I was suppose to pick up "packer trimmed" brisket but i believe I got too "flat" cuts? How should i cook these ? Roll them or have them flat.....how long of a cook ???? The combined weight is 13.5lbs....kinda think i got ripped as its only 1.5-2" thick (the actually cut)......Any help would be great thanks folks.

Eggbert,

If they'll fit, try it like this...



Full writeup of that cook, which was 13 pounds of brisket, cut into two pieces, available at http://www.fearlesskitchen.com/2008/05/recipe-smoked-b.html.

In terms of cooking time, you want to shoot for 1.5 hours per pound at 220ish degrees dome temp, or until the internal temp of the meat hits 190. Since you have two pieces of meat, you should be OK using the weight of the larger as the guideline, rather than adding them together. That's what I did and it worked fine. If you see its going slow, you can bump the heat to 250ish without too much issue, which will help it cook a bit faster.

Enjoy!
