My father in law (who I really consider my dad) has requested that I cook him a brisket for Fathers Day. I was hoping you guys would review my plan and offer any suggestions!
I plan on cooking a full packer fat side up with water in the pan. I have never liked HH cooks so plan on doing this one low and slow at 225-250 and am figuring 1 1/2 hours per pound. We are going to eat after my in laws get home from church on Sunday around 1 so plan on ending the cook so the brisket can rest at least an hour. I will wrap at 165 or so with some type of fluid (coke, or apple juice probably) and start checking for tenderness at 195. I think I am going to inject on Saturday using beef broth, worcestershire, onion powder,
garlic powder, and cayenne pepper and use brisket rub I bought from texasbbqrub.com right before I put the brisket on the smoker.
My igrill II was delivered today and the plan is to place the probe in the flat... Is that right?
I am so nervous and do not want to screw this cook up! Any knowledge you guys want to give would be greatly appreciated!
