    Verdict--- perfect smoke flavor on this. Surprised by lack if smoke ring. Really moist. it was Overcooked which is crazy given the short cook I took a slice that had been sitting out for a while for the obligatory bend over a knife pic. This was one of the first few slices so was little drier.  Still good bend and pull. The slices in middle would fall apart hence the Overcooked. Never seen a brisket where meat seemed Overcooked and yet fat hadn't rendered. Guess cap not trimmed enough. The hold was a bit too long I think. Bark was really soft. I made Aaron Franklins sauce as a backup and it was excellent. All in all a C effort.

    Glad it worked out Chubbs.  In fact, it looks like a real nice brisky!  Congrats! And, if it hadn't, you could blame me.  SWMBO always does, so I guess that's my role :s

    Yeah it could have been better but was certainly good. Guests were raving about it but I always think there is room for improvement. Still trying to find somewhere good to buy them around here. Will buy a SRF next for comparison.

    Let me save you the suspense my friend, there is no comparison. The Waygu easily wins by miles.

    Thanks. Will be more selective when I purchase next time. I knew it wasn't best quality but worth a shot for the price. Just confused by the speed it cooked. It was as if there was no stall at all

    Brother Chubbs, there is a simple but lengthy explanation why some cook so fast as opposed to others. If one of the Brisket Gods doesn't explain it for you, I will my friend.

    This is in real time. Have not touched the egg setting since I pulled the brisket off yesterday at 10:30. Just curious. This egg has been going since 11pm Sunday night. Approaching 35 hours with one full load of Fogo lump!

    Nice looking cook Chubbs.  Thanks for sharing.

    Curious to see how long the Egg keeps burning.  I've always wanted to do the same thing.  Keep us posted!

    with a brisket that finished so quickly, I can't believe you didn't run to the store to grab something else to put on there - damn, get some lunch on there now
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
