Thanksgiving brisket

[Lew]

I posted earlier that I was cooking brisket for Thanksgiving. I also posted a couple of pictures of the pre-cooked brisket. Here are all the pics. Phone camera, so not great quality.

Brisket from Sam's Club. Over 15 lbs.; a little bigger than I wanted, but a beautiful packer.

Rubbed and on the Smoke EZ the day before Thanksgiving. Fat cap down, of course. That's my 18.5" WSM in the background. It wasn't up to the task with a packer this big.

Slicing the flat after reheating Thanksgiving day.

Sliced flat and burnt ends ready for dinner.

Leftover brisket.

Leftover turkey.

The brisket was a big hit. There was plenty of turkey leftover (the serving platter was never refilled) but not much brisket or burnt ends. All the food was great, including the turkey, but people were excited that there was something different this season. This could become a new tradition for us!

I was thinking the same thing about the foreign cooker. But the food looks delicious.

That's so funny! A few pieces of left over brisket and a plate full of left over turkey! I'll say the brisket was a hit!!

That packer you bought looked nice & uniform all the way to the end. (PS I coulda got that guy on on my 18.5"!)

Thanks, guys.

not too sure 'bout that "foreign" cooker tho'....

It's still mostly a Weber. The bottom and lid are my Performer. Only the tube is "foreign".

(PS I coulda got that guy on on my 18.5"!)

I probably could have used the WSM, but it's sure nice not to have to use a shoehorn!

 

[Andy Wasserman]

You just convinced me to change next years Thanksgiving menu to brisket and turkey!

 

[Ed M.]

Beautiful brisket, Lew!

 

[Tom Rotta]

Looks good. I'd like some of those burnt ends. Any leftovers?
