3 Briskets on XL

I was asked to provide brisket for a cousins graduation party that was yesterday. Started by finding 3 nice prime packers from Costco all around 10lbs. I decided to use just one egg and sacrifice some bark. Besides, I’m serving a bunch of drunk college kids. They don’t care.
I went with the Woo/AR combo. Filled the egg full of Rockwood and 4-5 chunks of post oak. I cooked fat cap down with very little trimming done to the cap as I was really trying to protect that flat. Coated with the last of my Oakridge BBQ brisket rub and used the old trusty flameboss to drive the cook. I seem to have the best luck with brisket going lower than my normal for the egg. I did these at 225 and was expecting 16-18 hours. I left myself plenty for time if they went long and I could hold in the Cambro for several hours if they went short. They wound up taking 18-20 hours. Once they hit 160 I wrapped in butcher paper and finished in the oven. Everyone ate it and seemed to enjoy it. My brisket game is slowly improving.

Great fun cook right there. Way to step up and deliver the goods. Best brisket those college kids have ever had, for sure. I'm sure there weren't any leftovers.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.

I stopped in yesterday to grab my coolers and the steamer. The remaining leftovers were devoured in the early AM hours on Sunday. Most of the participants were still passed out. At least they made it back inside the house.lousubcap said:Great fun cook right there. Way to step up and deliver the goods. Best brisket those college kids have ever had, for sure.
