So I got my WSM about a week ago and I couldn't be more pleased! My first cook was some sausage ( I figure start with the basics). Next I did a chciken and it was one of the best I've ever had. Feeling confident, I decided to try my hand at the big daddy of them all. Brisket!
I started my cook at 12:30. All went well and soon my temp had equalized. I checked it on and off throughout the night, but I should have just gotten some shut eye, my temp stayed as constant as one could hope.
When I woke the next morning I stirred the coals around to bring the temp up a little (it had fallen to 200). Looking in fuel chamber it became clear I was going to need a little more coal so I drove to the store and got some. With a fresh set of coals in the smoker All was well and finally after about 13 hours It was time to get my masterpeice. It had a beautiful looking crust, the meat was tender and juicy. I took one bite and ....
This brisket is an abomination to BBQ. I don't know what it is, but the flavor was all off. In all fairness, my rub consisted of what I could find in my kitchen, I guess I should have prepared a little better. Maybe next time
