texas style brisket k.i.s.s.

Options
here's a smoked brisket recipe I found i'm going to try next brisket cook.



BluDawgs Brisket

K.I S.S. some of the best brisket you will ever eat! Total cook time including the rest 8 hrs or less. I promise it will be as moist as mornin dew on the lilly, tender as a mothers love, pure beefy smoky goodness.

1 packer 12-15 lb
Trim off the hard fat on each side of the flat thin the fat cap to 1/4"

Mix your Rub
1 part kosher salt 4 parts Med grind Black peppa by volume( this is a true 50/50 BY weight)
apply a coat of rub you need to be able to see the meat through the rub clearly.

Pre heat the pit to 300 deg
place brisket on the pit Fat Cap Down and point to the firebox unless it is a RF cooker then point to away from FB

Maintain pit between 275-325 if cookin on a stick burner
cook Brisket 4 hrs
remove from pit wrap in a single layer of Butcher paper Return to pit Fat cap up.
after 1 hr probe the thicket part of the Flat only! If it isn't *probe tender it should be within 1 hr.
once it is probe tender remove from the pit keep it wrapped in the paper you cooked it in and allow it to rest on your counter until the Internal temp reaches 150 this will take about two hrs.
Don't ever slice more than you can eat big pieces retain moisture and won't dry up on you like slices will.
*PROBE TENDER>This is the feel that is mimicked by cutting room temperature butter with a hot knife, there should be no drag

    Are you sure about that internal temp of 150°? I've smoked dozens of briskets and none have reached probe tender anywhere near that temp. This one was 11.5 lbs and took about 12 hours at 265°. The internal temp was 203° and it was soft as butter and seriously juicy.

    I think 150 was the temperature it cools to after the rest.........

    But you are right to question it. Having a smoker recipe without the internal Pull temperature is worthless. You need to get to a certain temperature and hold it there for a while to turn collagen (tough gristle) into Gelatin (the tasty sticky stuff you get on your lips and fingers). He also cooks it too high at 300. You can't rush it.

    I take my ribs to 190 and brisket a little higher. But you just can't heat it quickly to 190 and eat it. It has to SLOWLY cook (I try for a 250 smoker) and reach 190-205, then be held at that temperature for a while to convert everything to gelatin.

    I don't have the patience to tend a smoker for 12 hours either. Smoke it for 5-7 hours then wrap it in foil. Then put it in a 250 oven with an internal thermometer. Cook it to 190 and turn off the oven.

    I used to think you couldn't cook brisket fast, but then I watched this video and tried it hot and fast. 400°! It was fantastic. I've done pork butts hot and fast too, and they are as good as low and slow. Watch these videos and give it a try. You will be amazed.

    he was saying wrap after 4 hrs then leave on smoker until probe tender then let rest until it cools to 150.
    I've never cooked hot n fast, don't really like to cook brisket as it takes so long the slow way.

    there are some that do not use a thermometer and go by feel only. I found each piece has it's own temp so you cannot go by one set temp. temp is only a guide.
    the old saying goes it's ready when it's ready :D

    I see that now. I was getting hungry and started drooling just thinking about brisket, I must have missed that part. Lol Thanks for the clarification.

    I dont usually like to wrap the brisket during the cook(texas crutch)as i feel it takes a little away from the bark. Although i have heard good things about using the butcher paper in place of aluminum foil.

    I normally shoot for 275 at the grate and then smoke to an internal temp of around 203 or until it probes tender and has the brisket "wobble". I then wrap in foil and place it in the cooler for atleast 3 hours to rest before serving.

    203 is my go to temp for most anything on the smoker. My guru for BBQ (kinda fun thing to say, isn't it?) is Meathead from amazingribs.com.

    Next time Marv, I'm hangin' with you bro. :) Instead of Lady Godiva and the Duck Dynasty crowd guided by Long Duk Dong aka Halen. :)

    Ya know, with a cast like that, I could have a made a great movie. Btw, the Brisket instructions look awesome and I'll have to give it a whirl. Thanks man.

    No sweat my good man, have to give the local boys some crap though. I'm a foodie, as are many others here, so when in Texas I just assumed...

    Russ is used to eating cupcakes out of gas stations, not this Dago. :)
