Thought I should report after starting the topic.
Bought a Brisket "flat" at costco. Meat guys were already cleaning up when I got there. Having two nephews that were meat cutters, I know when not to ask for something special so I bought out of the case.
Britu rub the night before. (had made it for ribs the other weekend, had it, used it)
Sand in Pan
Kingsford
Minion Method
Windy (neighbors fence usually blocks it, not today
)
Had to babysit a little more than usual. Not bad though... not like the years with the ECB!
Cooked and watched TV (drank beer). Got to watch my tape of BBQ-U eppisode of Bobby Flay. Why did Steve seem more irritating to me than the few times I've seen his show?
Basted flat with beer (guinness), orange juice (ran out of apple), apple cider vinegar, and coffee. Not bad.
Cook turned out well. Rub was just a little salty. I didn't notice it on the BRITU ribs, but think that was because of the sauce.
Served up Sliced brisket with "Hoppen John" and collard greens. Mmmmmmmm mmmmm, Good Eats.
Friend stopped by to watch TV (drink beer), said the brisket was excelent. Not too salty at all.
Brisket sandwiches for lunch at work today.
