Ok, so much talking about brisket got to me and I just placed a smallish 9 pounder on the Egg, temp is holding steady around 230 and I'm heading for bed.

I wonder how you guys serve your brisket and what sort of sides and sauces you match it with.

    No sauce on mine.

    We often have cheese grits or fried okra to go with brisket.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Simple Coleslaw, and some beans.. and side of sliced sausages..does that count? I usually have a tangy bbq sauce on the side.

    Potato salad, brunswick stew, coleslaw... I like fried okra also @TexanOfTheNorth‌.

    If you have to have a sauce, I like thinner sauces for brisket... Original Williamson Bros sauce is my favorite store bought concoction.

    With past briskets I have made corn on the cob, baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad, etc. I change up the sides so it's not dull. As far as sauce it's usually a bold or zippy sauce, occasionally just a little mustard. Me personally I'm in the no sauce on my brisket camp.

    If done right  no sauce .
    Homemade Baked beans and Coleslaw . and potatoes .
    Which are all just there so we don't feel like pigs only eating the brisket. That said
    we only eat the brisket

    Thanks for your input, ended up going like this:

    Here's the little 9 pounder


    image

    All rubbed up


    image

    Into the egg it goes


    image

    A few nice czech beers while the temp stabilizes


    image

    After about 12 hours, IT @ 185ish (Maverick's off by 3F) and toothpick test approved

    image

    FTC for a couple more hours

    image

    Cut against grain 

    image

    Served, with no sauce, sided with horseradished coleslaw and seasoned/smoked potatoes with pancetta (got the idea from @henapple 's suicide potatoes)


    image

    What was left got turned into burnt ends for tomorrows BBQ sandwiches


    image

    Thanks again for all your suggestions, cheers!
