Hi!
So I just bought a 5lb select cut brisket from Wal Mart for $17.00. I figured it doesn't have to be the best cut since I'm going to cook it slow and low anyways. Please let me know your thoughts on my cooking plan.
1) The brisket doesnt look like it needs much trimming but I'll make sure theres a thin layer of fat.
2) Wash the brisket and pat dry it with paper towels.
3) Apply my favorite rub.
4) I'm using original Kingsford with some oak chunks. I'll fill the bowl to the top and use 1 chimney full of K using the Minion method.
5) I'll cook it fat side up for 1.5 hrs a pound and take it off at around 180ish internal temp.
6) Let it rest for at least 1 hr wrapped in tin foil.
I'm not planning on filling the water pan with anything to get a good bark on the outside.
Okay bbq pros please let me know your thoughts on this strategy!
Thanks!
