Ye Olde Yule Brisket'

[Bob Correll]

Olde, as it had been in the freezer for several fortnights.
Twas a whole packer at one time, but a wee bit of the flat had been ground into burger meat prior to freezing.

No sugar rub mix, mainly Penzey's Chicago Steak.

Apple and hickory wood smoked.
Ran the Mountain at 250 for 3 hrs., then opened up and ran it at 320>340 for the duration.

A curious visitor.

Panned and foiled at 170 internal.
Here it is at 205 and ready for a rest.
Total cook time about 9.5 hours.

Making ready for some burnt ends.

My last nights plated pic.
I gorged straight from the cutting board.

Today's lunch with potato sticks (haven't had sticks since I was a kid)

Merry Christmas everyone!!
