Brisket May2016

[Rich Dahl]

Beautiful brisky Jim! Lay low with that cold and rest up. There will be plenty of time to enjoy it when you're better. At least then you will be able to taste it.

So, is it best to go ahead and slice it if you're not eating right away?

I think you should open a school or at least give classes on many of your cooks, great job.

Those sliced pics make me drooling over the Ipad!
Complimenti Jim!

 

[Jim Lampe]

Thank you everyone!
The guys at worked LOVED it and asked for more!
One co-worker's (in fab) wife stopped at Costco today to buy one (a 16 pounder!), their first packer and they don't have a smoker big enough to smoke it.

Actually Wayne, slicing it and storing it for later, in my experiences, is fine. Is it best? I haven't the foggiest.
however....
i did made the BIG mistake of refrigerating it while it was warm... the next day, good luck separating the slices... they stuck together like glue, breaking some of the slices.

I didn't know you could buy brisket of that quality for that price anymore. I gave up on briskest bc they got up to 3.99/pound for Walmart choice in CFL. I'm not a Costco member but need to look into this. Your cook has inspired me

Ps. Speaking of a cold, I've been home for days days sick. The good news is, I've found my way back tho this great site.
