Brisket March2017

[Jim Lampe]

been doing prime brisket since joining Costco, something like 2 years now... and this is like my 5th or 6th prime brisket.
maybe the 7th.
anyway... took it out of the freezer and smoked it yesterday.

trimmed off 1¾ pounds of fat

setup the 22"WSM on Sunday night...

seasoned the beef with 50/50 sea salt and freshly ground tellicherry black pepper also on Sunday night.
tossed the brisket on the smoker at 3:50 am Monday morning.
Hickory wood for smoke.

this photo ▼ taken about 3 hours in...

after 5 or so hours, the internal temp hit 165ºF, so I wrapped it in the famous magical pink butcher paper

after 9½ hours at a pretty steady 250ºF WSM dome temp, the brisket reaches my intended temp of 205ºF.
So, I removed the black deliciousness from the cooker to rest on foil until it dropped to 175ºF.
I know. a lot of degrees and/or numbers.

 

[Jim Lampe]

Once the hunk dropped to 175, I wrapped it tight in Reynolds HD Wrap and placed it fatside up in a dry cooler for what became 5½ hours.
it was still HOT when I did slice it.

SUCCESS!

...and it tasted GREAT!

Thank you for stoppin' by!

Beautiful brisket, Jim!

 

[Rich Dahl]

Great looking brisket Jim, but 3:50am, I got tired just thinking about that. I guess that's why I have a 16 pound brisket still sitting in my freezer that I bought 6 months ago.

 

[Bill Schultz]

That's how it's done right there. Beautiful

Jim if you don't mind do you recall where you got your pink butcher paper from? Cannot find it around here at all.

 

[Jim Lampe]

thanks guys!

Rich, you could probably get away with putting it on at 6am... if that helps.
Bill, lemme look at my on-line purchasing history...
i'll get back to you.

Bill, presto!

That plated picture is a work of art. Excellent cook

 

[Bill Elwell]

Jim: That looks like a great price even with the shipping...the brisket looks even better. Making me hungry...


I have some paper arriving in 2 days from Amazon. Along with a few other items (granddaughter's wedding registry), my order for 18" x 150' paper was FREE (Christmas gift card used).

I have 2 - 13# packer briskets (1 at $3.99 and 1 at $2.99) in the freezer right now and tomorrow there's another sale at the local Fairway for $2.99.

Mighty fine brisket right there. Love the plate.

Those Costco prime briskets will spoil you.

Fantastic Looking Brisket Jim........Great Cook!!! I also purchased my Pink Butcher paper from Amazon....but that roll length for that price you got is INCREDIBLE!!!!! Will have to look at that store!

 

[Robert T]

Jim yummy yummy. We have been craving brisket and I didn't do my annual superbowl brisket. That looks so delicious, especially the plated pic. Great job!

 

[Kevin L (NKY)]

Another great cook from the man from Wisconsin, I love that you trimed off the fat cap, it made your finished product look excellant. And it was still juicey.
Love the plate also just right for me.
I want to do one like this.

 

[ADMcCarver]

That looks AMAZING!! I am looking forward to doing my first brisket next week.

 

[Steve_Williams]

That's a great price per lb for prime brisket

 

[Ryan O]

Great Job! So jealous! Also jealous of the pricing.

Here in NJ I "lucked" into $3.99/lb full brisket at Stop n Shop. $7.99/lb regularly but $3 of per lb sale + and $1 extra off with coupon. And only 1 of the 13 or so available had a decent sized point.
