SNF kind of night
Wolfpack
Posts: 3,552
I’ve had two SNF briskets in the freezer for too long so figured why not.
It has been thawing in the fridge for a few days but still a little frozen in the middle. Will see how that works out- I’ve done butts this way but not a brisket.
Waiting on the egg to cool down from the steaks I made earlier. So might as well enjoy the rest of the wine left over from dinner.
Just salt and pepper- trying to dial in somewhere around 225-250 but always tough when cooling from higher heat. It’s sleeting so no cyberQ tonight. Hope I’m not chasing temps all night.

Standing bye for the finale.
Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.
Status- Standing by.
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. -
As is the case, nice marbling with that hunk of SRF protein. Personal preference-I cut a notch off the end of the flat cross-grain so that when you create the meteorite you know the direction to attack.
Good luck wrestling with the temperature control coming off the high-heat.
Regardless a fun cook and true banquet awaits.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint. -
Brisket and Belle Gloss. That's a hard combination to beat.
Have you tried the other Belle Gloss offerings? Dairyman and/or Las Alturas?
The restaurant across the street from my neighborhood - which was already our favorite place - just added Las Alturas by the glass.... now we go there even more.

I have tried the other two but seem to prefer the C/T-
However, when your in the mood for a Pinot with a little more body it’s a good option.

Absolutely. Looks like a great night. Enjoy. Looking forward to the results.

Well first disappointment of the night- went to grab some oak chunks and the cupboard was bare. So next best option was pecan.
Temp came down quickly when I put the sleet covered woo/stone in-
going without the full A/R drip pan, etc.
Anyone see any issues skipping?
Greensboro, NC -
Temp stable around 250 for the last 40 mins- will watch it for another 30 minutes and let it ride.

I personally like to block the rising heat on multiple levels so I can create an environment for the brisket that is hotter in the dome than on the bottom of it. Then I can cook it with the fat side up. I realize that I'm in the minority here with that approach, but that's what I prefer.Wolfpack said:Well first disappointment of the night- went to grab some oak chunks and the cupboard was bare.

As you have the fat side down, the only thing I might do if I were you is to add a little aluminum foil under the parts of the brisket at the edges that are not in the silhouette of your heat blocker.
Looks like you're in for a treat.

Well checked at 4am and temp was rock steady at 250. Didn’t even put a temp probe in it last night as I figured it would not be ready until at least 10.
Guess I was wrong- pulled it at 7am and thermopen was reading around 196-202 in various spots and probing tender.
Didnt snap a pic as I quickly wrapped in foil and into a cooler. Guess it will be a brunch brisket.
Will get some pics later-Greensboro, NC -

These things never take very long to finish in my experience.

This has been an excellent journey thus far, and I am hoping this brisket turns out to be the best, ever. It sure should be with all the work you have put into it.

By far the best one I have made. Had my parents over for lunch as well- we crushed it.
Barely enough left to make Salado Chili
I honor of @cazzy added the brisket over the knife pic. Looks dry in the picture but it wasn’t at all.
