Bacon Covered Brisket

Spring Chicken

<p />I just pulled my brisket off and it is G O O D yea. This was the first time I tried covering it with bacon. Sure added a lot of flavor. Very juicy too. I took it to 190° internal before opening the lid. Took about 8 hours in all.[p]Just wanted y'all to see what a Bacon Brisket looks like.[p]Spring Chicken

Spring Chicken,
Looks great, do you have a second grate or bricks or whatever to hold the drip pan, thanks for guidance?

Silver Tonjgue Devil,
Thanks. I used the Plate Setter with the feet up and grill on top of that. The drip pan sits on the Plate Setter. Works like a champ.[p]Spring Chicken

Spring Chicken,
Was that a whole or trimmed brisket?

ravnhaus,
It was an untrimmed whole brisket when I got it at Kroger Saturday for $ .99 a pound. It was the smallest of the litter, at about 8 pounds. I cut off about a pound of fat, covered it with Fiesta Brisket Rub and a little Montreal Steak Rub, and let in rest in the frig overnight. Then I added enough bacon slices to cover it from end to end before putting it on the Egg. I could definitely taste the hickory from the bacon. Also very juicy. It passed the taste test here so I took some to my neighbor and he liked it. May try it again sometimes.[p]Spring Chicken

Spring Chicken,
Did you eat the bacon?

Spring Chicken

ravnhaus,
Of course... But it really wasn't as good as fried bacon.[p]SC
