favorite brisket prep.

Chef Wil

<p />heres is one of my favs. when doing brisket. Butterfly it, add chopped onions and bell peppers, 1 lb. of fresh sausage out of casing and 1 lb. sliced smoked sausage, lots of rub inside and out. Pull flap where just the veggies are over the sausages and sewed it up. I'm gonna cook and post results in the next day or so.

Good luck

setup is raised grid, direct, bbq guru, 225 degrees until I can see the outer shell is tender, about 6 hours. Actually, the sausages render pretty well so not too much fat left in the sausages and added moisture for brisket. You know us Cajuns, spicey pork sausage and spicey smoked sausage.Right now it looks like a brisket on steroids, all swole lQQking ........hehehehe

Chef Wil,
When the ice finally leaves my eggs, I'll do this thing. It looks great and a very inventive idea. Thanks! I'm surprised to read that you do it direct for that kind of time. I would do it indirect; lo-n-slo; internal 185-190; usually 10-12 hours for that size. Please let me know if I'm out in left field or should the added veggies change my thinking.

Marvin,
your correct on changing your mind, the meat is less dense since its being butterflied and stuffed with vegetables and sausages, I find a little rendering of fat drips into the fire and smokes back up in the meat for added flavor. The brisket itself is only about 1 inch thick once its been butterflied, thus a faster cooking. I have done them many times in the oven but never had time to egg them, I will post cooking time and temps when done and a pic of course.I did forget to mention it is a flat and not a whole brisket.

Chef Wil,
Makes sense to me.
