Have to celebrate

[Ray Foor]

I have received my t-shirt.

So I am going to try my first brisket.

Its a 5.5 lb flat from Costco. Put some mustard on it and rubbed it with a rub I found at Academy. I post some finished pics later, wish me luck.

Waiting to see how your brisket comes out Ray! Almost missed this post since it ended up on page 2 just like most of the cooks from yesterday and today!

 

[Tony R]

Looks good so far...

 

[Ed M.]

Looking forward to the final results of your brisket cook, Ray! Love the new t-shirt you got.

I have not mad much luck yet with brisket. Can't wait to see photos.

The brisket went about 8 hours, foiled for another hour until it reached 198. Then set in cooler for 1 more hour.

It sliced well.

It tasted very good. However, it was a bit on the dry side. I didn't inject or spritz at all. Just a bit of beef broth in the foil. Any suggestions?

 

[Brad Olson]

Looks good, Ray. You could try draping the flat with bacon or bacon fat.

 

[Tony R]

Looks good to me...

 

[Ray Foor]

Thanks Brad, I think I will try that with the next one. May even try to inject or baste too. The Brisket alone seemed a little dry but when a little sauce was added you couldn't tell. The family loved it so I guess thats what really matters.

Looks great to me! I usually foil at 165F, bring her up to close to 200F, give or take, and let it rest for several hrs in the foil. Nice brisky there!

 

[Paul Kastner]

looks fantastic.

 

[John Solak]

The brisket looks very good!! I have never done just a flat.

NIce looking brisket. My costco now has whole packers and I am tempted to try one as I have only done a flat before. Yours looks way better than my flat attempt!
