    this was nuts. probably the best i've ever had. I'm still giving Franklin the nod but that may be more out of respect since I did nothing right on this cook. This meat was out of this world. I can tell you that in the right hands, this is special. In my hands, it was really good. Crazy good. All i did was salt, pepper, and oak. I F-d up the fire, pulled it at a weird temp (i was totally right though). I may never buy another type of brisket again. i would rather do less and do them like this than chase mediocre cuts at grocery stores. more to come but this was a moon shot home run. Just had to update before slipping in to a tito's induced coma. wow


    Bravo!!! Now I'm going to have to find out where I can get one of these things... Sounds like if every dealer had samples of this available on the weekends, they'd have nothing but empty showrooms ;)
    agreed hap. I actually screwed up the cook buy getting drunk and letting the fire go out (WITH a cyber Q wifi- I' mean how drunk do you have to be?). The meat was so good it was almost unfair.

    Of course all that was tongue in cheek. I've known about SNF for a while. Just ribbing my buddy who mortgaged his home to give me one a little. It was spectacular.

    Yes I do. The good news is that he has the twin to this one in his fridge. He's cooking it for New Year's Day. Twice in one week is considered a win in my home for lots of things :)).

    There actually was a nice chunk of Alabama Red Oak in there. Not sure where I got it but it just seemed right ;)

    Love the original post here Cen-Tex.  Very funny and filled with poetic license.  I would expect nothing less.  And for the record, thank you for the used BBQ rub samples and discarded smoke cap.  I'm sincere when I say it was a wonderful Christmas.

    Now to the brisket review.  It was the best brisket I have eaten.  Period.  I have not made it through Franklin's line yet but I have had my share of Texas brisket.  You simply nailed it.  The lean part of it (if there was one) in the flat was better and more moist than the point on most brisket.  In fact I liked the lean best and I am definitely a point man.  It was very tender.  You could easily pull apart lean pieces from the flat with your fingers, but it didn't fall apart either, which is just how it should be.  And salt and pepper is the only way to go.  Simply perfect.  I have never seen people line up with their plates for seconds and scramble for more brisket like that.  Wow.

    Yes the meat was a factor but the cooking was what made it great.  I've screwed up plenty of good brisket so I know that's true.  I hope you took a photo or two because it didn't last long.  Thank you!

    Very nice Eggcelsior!  I always thought the lyrics to that song were a little out there.  I like your version better.

    @Cen_Tex and @lakewade-I don't know who's got the goods on who here but that is one hell of a gift.  I have checked out the SRF web site a couple of times (most recently yesterday) and am not creative enough to get one by SWMBO.  I almost had a chance til I tossed in the shipping...
    Glad you enjoyed round one and I'm sure round two will provide the same results.  Could be habit forming!  Happy New Year!

  • So, if I understand this new procedure for smoking an amazing brisket, it goes something like this:

    1) start drinking whiskey
    2) S&P, oak, put on egg
    3) drink until hammered 
    4) let fire go out
    5) pass out
    6) wake up in morning, start egg up again
    7) pull when jiggly like a VS model

    Did I miss anything?

    Yep...you sure did. You have to be centex!! The man is the brisket king and his f-ups are usually better than most people's perfect cooks. 

    I have an inside source that revealed his secret.  In lieu of milk, his mom used to bottle feed him brisket drippings so it's pretty much in his blood.  It's not fair at all... :(

    That pretty much nails it. I cooked it at 250 when the egg was lit.

    Hardly but thank you. This was a great cut of brisket. Hard to screw up I certainly tried.

    Thank you buddy. Good times for sure. Glad you enjoyed the half used rubs ;). I figured if I could make a bunch of stuff up with anyone, you would be pretty immune to it by now. Can't thank you enough for the brisket. Even though it was world class, the best gift to me was getting to cook it and serve it to good friends with a few drinks. That is about as good as it gets for me (and Janelly too). The brisket was just the mechanism that made it all come together. Awesome gift. Home run.

    But what nailed it for sure, was when the egg was at 180 and Cen Tex was lit.

    I just cooked one from SRF on Thanksgiving and it was by far the best brisket I've ever cooked/had.  AMAZING!!

    It's not for the feint of heart for sure.We are talking about doing a group buy here in austin/San Antonio to get the shipping cost down. The price of the brisket is the same as WholeFoods Meyer Natural. It's the shipping that gets you for sure. It ain't cheap to overnight 17 lb frozen bowling balls all over the country. I signed up for promotion emails so if they ever run a sale, I'll try to put a buy together for anyone in this area.

    May want to check around with local butcher shops - that's where I get mine.  Happy hunting.

  • I can't believe it but this is the only photo i got. Once we cracked it, it went fast. The lighting in the room makes it look a little redder than it was but it definitely had a little color to it. image

    I like how you back off and walk away after dropping it.  Like it was a meat grenade.  haha
