I did a high heat brisket for the first time yesterday and it was dry. Man was that a disappointment.
I wish I'd have taken pics because the smoke ring was great and the bark looked nice. But it was dry.
Isn't that from overcooking?
I also didn't trim enough fat because when it was finished there was a huge thickness of fat still on the point. Even after cooking it an extra couple of hours for burnt ends I threw it out.
Maybe I just didn't read enough about it. I should have studied it more, but it seemed easy enough.
Disappointment abounds.
One positive is that slathered in a bunch of mayo it's ok on sammies.
