The Salado Brisket Número Dos.
Options
The Cen-Tex Smoker
Posts: 22,961
Ok- so I'm doing the Salado Brisket again tonight. Same exact brand, same soft floppy feel in the cryo, but it was 10.5 lbs before trimming (Salado brisket was like 12.5)
Fairly low yield with 2.5 lbs of hard fat trimmed off for an 8lb net when it went on the egg but it still looked and felt very good. It is an Excel Choice Packer
Rub was Bad Byron's again, no binder. The only thing I did different was play with the smoke ring a little. I put it in the freezer for an hour or so until internal was 33.8 and the egg temp was 194 and billowing oak smoke when I put it on. I'm keeping it at 225-250 to max the smoke ring. I've done this once before and it didn't make a difference. Just playing around to see if it works.
Anyhoo..... We'll let you know tomorrow pm what the verdict on all this is. It will probably rest 5-6 hours before I can get back to it tomorrow.

Will be watching the finish for this one-want to see it the cool-down trick is the key to the consistent triple or home-run. Regardless, I will give this cook a go with the proverbial flat next week.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

looks good. If you like eating meteors. looks like a late afternoon finish (still only 148 internal). temp dropped 30 degrees last night so fire was 170 this morning. Back to 240 now and chugging alongKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

TxAg93 said:Looks like you got your meteorite. Tasty looking.I can't wait to dig in. It's been in the cooloer since 3. eating in 30 minutes or so. I'm about to pull it out to allow it to cool a little. I'm interested to see if I got a smoke ring since i did all the stuff you are supposed to do to get one. I've done it before and it didn't make a difference. I really only care about the taste and texture but the smoke ring is just for fun. I can't let those guys out in San Francisco (Smitty) make prettier briskets than me!)Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Pretty be damned... taste is where the money is. The famed "Salado Brisket" was a million bucks! Waiting for the food pr0n... I'm getting tingly all over just thinking about it.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

It was identical to the Salado brisket. Zero smoke ring even with all the tricks but flavor and texture were really good. This is like the 5th in a row that I've done this way and they have all turned out really well. I'm done playing around with brisket. This is it for me.
Would love to hear our science mixed breatheren chime in on the smoke ring phenomenon but that's just for me to learn something.
