1st attempt at brisket

[Ryan Burger]

Did my first brisket low and slow with so so results. I will try HH method next time.

 

[Tony R]

It looks good to me. Why do you say so so results?

 

[DaleW]

Agree--looks real good! Brisket is funny. Sometimes outta the park, and sometimes just OK.

 

[Rolf Jacobsen]

Ryan stop being so hard on yourself. That looks great.

 

[JimK]

First? Fantastic!

 

[Ryan Burger]

Pretty sure the flat was over cooked....it was falling apart when trying to cut the slices. The point was close to perfect...juicey and moist.

Thks for the kind words.

Great looking first brisket!!!

 

[Paul Kastner]

Hey first time last time better the first than last right?

 

[Dwain Pannell]

Based on your comment that the "flat was over cooked....it was falling apart when trying to cut the slices", the temp in the flat probably did get a little high if it fell apart but like the others I think it looks great as well. The great thing is we get to eat our "mistakes", especially when "the point was close to perfect...juicey and moist".

Err on the side of tender vs chewy anytime my friend!

Ryan, if you're going to err (not saying you did....), err on the side of falling apart vs. chewy. I've many times cooked a brisket 200+ degrees internal in the flat that would not slice well. (Definitely wouldn't pass the "slice-over-the-finger....then pull apart" test.) And, in those not-so-rare instances, I've made some of the most amazingly tender brisket sandwiches you could imagine. My buddies at work LOVE when I "overcook" a brisket!
