First brisket...for the win!

So I did my first brisket today. I bought a 10.3 pound Prime packer from Sam’s Club. I trimmed and then rubbed with Hard Core Carnivore Black last night so that I could get up at five and just light the Egg. Put it on at 5:45, then wrapped it in butcher paper about 9:30 when the IT was 140. I pulled it off at 2:30 when it probed like buttah and jiggled like jello. Let it rest, then FTC until six. We had friends over for the feast, and my buddy even said it melted in his mouth. The best compliment I got was that not one person felt the need to use bbq sauce! I served it with a five cheese mac and cheese, corn on the cob, homemade coleslaw, and watermelon. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions, and especially lousubcap for walking me through it. There are things I need to improve, like trimming especially, but overall I was excited by this first one. Can’t wait for the next one! Comments

Great job! It’s all about enjoying the cook, sharing with friends, and having a good time. You seem to have checked every box.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

Way to bring it home. Congrats on the cook but more importantly the results as noted by @SciAggie. I would take that outcome every time. You set the bar up there as deservedly so.

That’s the thing...it was a fun cook. More fun than doing, say, a Boston butt. Maybe because I’d always been too intimidated to do a brisket.SciAggie said:Great job! It’s all about enjoying the cook, sharing with friends, and having a good time. You seem to have checked every box. -

The best brisket is always the brisket you share with friends. Congrats on your first of many more to follow.
Frank mastered the helm on my initial voyage, step by step until delivering the goods. I have not had a better teacher in my life.

Looks great! Great job!

You can hold it for several hours this way. I usually put the towels in the dryer so they're hot but that's not necessary. Use old towels though, just in case you get some liquid seeping out.Zamfir said:Ahhh! Lol thanks! Makes sense.

I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada -
