Hello there!
I'm very excited to become part of this forum!! I bought my WSM 2 weeks ago and have been so happy already with the excellent recipes posted here! Some great chicken and ribs
But here's my dilemma: I've attached photos of high quality locally farmed, but very lean, brisket. It's 9.6lbs of loveliness! Given that this is my first ever brisket that I'll be smoking - and the sheer variety of approaches - I'm quite nervous as to how approach this cut of meat. Some thoughts that come to mind:
- cut the flat off and make pastrami. Smoke the round where these is at least some fat. My thinking is that making it smaller will make the BBQing less tricky
- Do the whole thing HH.
- Go low and slow and just foil/ cover with butcher paper early in the cook.
