New to the forum - weekend brisket

in EggHead Forum
Hey guys, new guy here following the forum for the past few weeks. I've been reading your threads and enjoying your pics so I thought I'd start my introduction with a cook from this weekend. 

My sister in law was in town this weekend and requested a brisket from the egg. Ran over to Costco and picked up a 14lb prime brisket and into the egg it went with some pecan & apple wood. Low & slow for approx. 14 hours and pulled it at 203 degrees. 

Rubbed down with some 50/50 and Rufus Teague meat rub




Fresh out of the egg...


Obviously too excited with the outcome as I couldn't focus on the slice and realized I sliced with the grain after seeing the pic a day later. 


Looking forward to sharing more on the forum in the future. Cheers!

    Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.
    Strong start right out of the gate.  Congrats on the cook.
    A trick I learned regarding brisket-cut a small piece off the end of the flat perpendicular to the grain before you rub and cook.  That way you know how to slice the flat when the meteorite is ready to go.  FWIW-

    Great tip right there, lousubcap! I'll use that on my next cook for sure.

    Welcome aboard. Brisket looks good. I've only seen limited Prime beef cuts at Costco and never brisket. Better to be lucky than good.

    So true, we've been pretty lucky that our local Costco keeps the Prime brisket fairy regularly at $2.39/lb.
