My first Brisket

[Keith Kenney]

Well Im doing my first brisket today. I started it at 6:45pm with the trimming and the rubbing. I used the Modified Louis Charles Henley's All-Purpose Rub but added 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of mustard powder. let it sit in the fridge until 3:20 this morning and this this it going on the smoker with full load of Kingford and Mesquite wood for the smoke

chuggin along this is after 6 hours

After seven hours on the smoker it is running at 250* with n interal temp at 174*
I know one thing this smells wonderful. Will post more when It is done and plated

Looking great so far, can't wait to see the finished pics!

Looking good! Can't wait for the end result!

 

[Keith Kenney]

The end result. Very moist and great flavor. I will be making this again. So much meat left for the three of us looks like leftovers for awhile and I am not complaining.

[Keith Kenney]

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I could have never cooked a brisket like that if it wasn't for this site and for all of you. So I say Thank you very much and my wife thanks you too because I am cooking more now trying all these different recipes so she doesn't have to keep guessing whats for dinner.

Looks like you nailed it Keith. All looks perfect. You mentioned only 3 of you there. It's just the wife and me here and an inexpensive foodsaver has been a great investment for us.

 

[Keith Kenney]

Mike, I was just looking at foodsavers on Amazon trying to figure out which would be the best to get. I see us getting one in the near future.

It will pay for itself quickly. The food tastes just like the day you vac pack it.

I just bought a 2222 for approx. $75 at walmart. Also, I've bought some Rival storage bags which "I've heard" are as good as the FS bags and cheaper. Have not used them yet.
