Christmas Brisket

[Tom Rotta]

Made a 6# Brisket for Christmas dinner. My first ever Brisket. It didn't turn out too bad for my first attempt. Wife loved it. That's all that mattered. Also made Haselback potatoes and brussel sprouts.

8 hours in I was approaching my target temp of 170. Pulled the brisket and wrapped it.

an hour 20 later, I hit my target temp of 205. Pulled the brisket and placed it in a cooler to hold it while I prepped and cooked the potatoes and sprouts.

It was a great meal. The wife was happy she didn't have to cook and she loved the brisket and sprouts.
