Hi-speed brisket and the follow-on meat coma; never trust the cow

I don't post many cook pics as I'm in the pedestrian camp but the below packer (prime from Costco) was 10.1 lbs post-trim weight.  Cooked indirect at 250-280*F on the calibrated dome and it hit the promised land in 6 friggin hours.  FTC saved the day but I have never seen such a speed cook.  (And it was a little over done when extracted from a 4 hour FTC).  Still great.  Just thought I would add fuel to the "cow owns the cook" data-base.

    Looks good to me.  And you are right.  I've had a 13 pounder get done in 7 hours at 240

    Looks like a winner to me brother. I agree fully that the higher grades cook much faster. A few weeks back, I did a Waygu Gold that was done in under 5 hours. The shorter cook time is almost enough to justify the extra expense on its own. Again, great looking grub.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    That's a great looking brisket boss!  Beef in particular brisket can surprise on cook time that's for sure. Please post more cooks. You've got much game.
