Brisket for Supper

I experimented with this cook. I bought two choice Briskets from Kroger that were 7lbs each trimmed. Yes....whole Briskets the smallest I've seen.

One went on the bottom rack fat side up the other went on the top rack fat side down. Each had a different rubb too. But on my WSM at 2:30am Saturday morning and took them off at 1:30pm when the reached 195dg.

The brisket I had on the bottom rack was much more moist....don't know if this was because fat side was up or because the top brisket's juices were dripping down on it???

Only have photos of the brisket that was on top. Any constructive advise is welcomed....

Over all was very good. I'm becoming quite the smoking star with my family. Just wonder why the brisket on the bottom rack turned more tender. I'm still learning.


Thanks for looking,
Dan
 
That looks real good. Brisket is next on the list for me. Thanks for sharing your experience. It all helps.:wsm:
 
I always do mine fat side up, were they both at 195 when you took them off? Nice cook and comparison.
 
Nice work Dan. Since heat rises, I'm guessing that the top brisket was a tad overdone; easy to do. The last pic you posted shows the brisket breaking up a little bit which makes me think so. I apologize for the critique. Over-cooking a brisket is very easy to do.
 
Your brisket looks Great Dan!
I'm likin' Gary's theory... and every hunka meat is different... just when you think you got it, they throw you that wicked curveball
 
Looks good enough to eat Dan! Really good looking brisket. I'm planning on a brisket next weekend in preparation for the Super Bowl. I actually think the 7lb. briskets are a very good size to do, especially when doing 2 at a time like you've done.
