21 Hour Brisket

First of all, the forum went down at exactly the wrong time. Last week, I tried a new brisket cooking technique that I read about.  I put the brisket on the Egg at about 7:00 PM at 250 degrees.  I let it cook allllllll the way to 190 with no wrap.  Then I pulled the brisket, brushed some butcher paper with beef tallow, wrapped the brisket, put it in a broiler pan with 1/2 cup of water, covered the pan with foil and put it in the oven at 150 degrees for 16 HOURS!!!  Results forthcoming...

First of all, I used the trimmings to make beef tallow for the first time.  Cool. 





Here is a medley of photos, pre-cook, post cook, first cut.

Look at that bark!  My dog is jealous of that bark!

And here is the baby all sliced up for consumption.  

Thanks for looking!

    Looks good from here!  See you didn't need the forum as a crutch.
    They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin

    That's a winner and whatever guidance/recipe you followed definitely worked.  Congrats on the cook.

    I did the same this weekend ... got a brisket in, went to the forum for @lousubcap's epic essay on brisket ... doh! So now I've transposed it into a doc on my phone in case of future emergencies. :)

    The same thing happened to me when I did my brisket earlier this week. I went to see all the great advice and that "maintenance" page kept giving me the finger each time I hit refresh to see if the site was back. I now have a brisket doc on my cloud storage.

    Question for everyone saying they saved backup copies of brisket advice for any future forum outages….

    Do you maintain emergency contact lists, duplicates of sensitive docs and contingency plans in the event of catastrophe?

    If the answer is “no”, then you are truly a bbq enthusiast. 🙂
