Good Day. I have a LBGE. I have a 7 lb. Choice Brisket Flat. How long of cook is this? 250 deg.? Thanks

Great night- give the search function here a go, read all that you find and then make a decision. There are many ways to get there and many ways to finesse the cook.

Hi neighbor! I have always been too intimidated by a flat. If I had a flat, I think I would do more of a braise. I think 250 would be a great temp to start. Smoke it a bit and then into a "Travis Style" braise.

I ended up doing a 7 lb. Flat from Costco on Christmas Day. Used the rig with oval stone on bottom, made a foil pan for the middle .
Salt and Black pepper with Chile flakes for the rub. White oak and sugar maple chunks. Sprayed with dark black coffee every hour.
Wrapped in butcher paper at 170, about 5 hrs.
Done at 7-1/2 hrs. . In cooler with towels for an hour. Good Vittels.

That might be the best flat cook outcome I have seen posted here. Great ring as well. Nailed it, big time. Congrats.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood.

Went a little over 206 or so when I checked it for the cooler.Pure MichiganGrand Rapids, Michigan LBGE, SBGE

Did you let it sit before the cooler, or straight into FTC?Clinton, Iowa

Wow, looks very moist for 206 .. I asked the question, cause if I had to guess, I'd say they were stopped short of 205F, probably more like 195F.otter said:Went a little over 206 or so when I checked it for the cooler.

Maybe some of it was less. It could of had just a little more juice. Good for a flat for me. I’ll try again. It went from 195 to “ doggone it” pretty fast. I’ll have to babysit the finish better.Pure MichiganGrand Rapids, Michigan LBGE, SBGE
