@TEXASBGE2018 Given you are the reviewer, what's your take on the outcome; bark, taste and texture?
Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
Turned out great. Bark is much better. Perfect smoke ring. Texture was on point. I say Success.

Good work! Looks fantastic, and that's a beautiful smoke ring.Cooking on a Large Big Green Egg in North Chicagoland.

I’m going to second the suggestion about sugar. I use 1 part sugar and 2 parts each salt and pepper. You don’t taste any sweet.*******Owner of a large and a beloved mini in Philadelphia

lousubcap said:@Jupiter Jim - you may be the Christopher Columbus of turbo briskets and great results. Several here have given it a go and been quite satisfied with the outcome. Disclaimer- I have never intentionally set out on such a cook but have occasionally had an unplanned turbo experience mid-cook which required non -prescription (adding ice cubes to the fire) actions to restore the cook.It's all in where you land, "any landing you walk away from is great"-same with a brisket cook. Most fun you can have with the BGE.

I stashed an SRF Gold in a buddy’s fridge before my move and cooked it a couple weeks ago when I went to celebrate Anniversary with SWMBO. He has same setup as mine so I seasoned Franklin style but didn’t have opportunity to let set in fridge overnight but really didn’t see a big difference in flavor or bark profile. I don’t wrap during cook and didn’t spritz. Made some imitation burnt ends from a couple of chuckles and they were amazing...made before, but the coke made a big difference...helped me really stay alert. JK it was the liquid soda version.

Have you tried a simple Pepper, salt, + Coffee ground rub?

Glad you're heading the direction you wanted. I never got too concerned about bark color. I use a basic Garlic Powder + Kosher Salt + Coarse Black Pepper rub and usually wind up with a dark brown bark that tastes excellent. I've never been able to achieve the "meteorite" look that's black as coal and I'm not bothered by that. To be honest, the only brisket I've had that was that dark was at Stubbs in Austin. It tasted like it had been dipped in creosote and that's not a rabbit I'm going to chase.Michiana, South of the border.
