Today I smoked a 13 lb. Prime Brisket, from Sam's Club, for my daughter's cook book. It took 2 hours for the erratic temps to settle but for the remainder of the cook the EX4 hummed. It probed tender at 203 so I rested it in a cooler for 4 hours. The broth that I captured from the foil was delicious. The flat passed the pull test and everyone enjoyed their dinner. I had slices of flat and point and wasn't disappointed with the meat. Because our family get togethers keep shrinking in numbers and I usually only cook for the 2 of us I'm switching over to Chuck roasts. I will never claim to be a great cook but today was "good enough". If this was my last Brisket it wasn't a bad way to retire.
