My Thursday Brisket

[doctor phreak]

well i had foot surgery yesterday nothing much....so being bored i thought i would do a brisket today instead of saturday like i planned...a 12lb der rubbed w/mustard and my rub all wrapped up


doing this on my gosm it doesn't fit the rack whole so i seperated the point from the flat...this should also make it cook a little faster


there been a lot of talk lately about doing brisket faster and at a higher temp so i thought i would give it a try.....doing this at about 275-290 range w/pecan & mesquite now since i cut it in half it will cook faster than whole...here it is at the 4 hr mark


ok let it go another 1.5 - 2 hrs and it is ready for foil...sitting at 170 internal on both
flat

point


done at exactly 8 hrs from the time i put it on the rack...gotta admit not too bad for time on a 12lb but i did cut it in half....here the finish pics from being in the cooler for 4 hrs






close up pretty moist



also had time to do some twice smoked potatoes...smoked for awhile with the brisky and then scooped and added cheese , sour cream , deyhradted green onions and s & p....



all in all i would probably do this again but i still think lo & slo is better...again i think its a labor of love....hope you all enjoy my Thursday Brisket

You need to add some crispy bacon crumbled into your scooped out taters, along with the onions and cheese. Thats what I do for twice baked taters,

Nice looking brisket. The taters look good too.

Looks good!

Next time, slice across the grain for an even more tender product.
