First brisket is on the smoker...

[GeauxLSU]

Brisket is my absolute favorite but I've always been too chicken squeeze to ruin an expensive cut of meat. I finally found a small 5# on sale so here we go. Put the home made rub on last night and it's now a little over an hour in over apple wood at 225. I'm going to starve to death smelling and waiting.

In for finished results, and samples. Well finished product at least.

Have some corned beef brisket in the fridge. I cooked it in the crock pot.
I'm thinking about some Ruben sandwiches for supper tonight.

Just the flat?

I'm the same way and got a flat from Costco it was just barely cheaper than getting a whole packer which I'll do next time. Mine came out decent but it was a little too bitter and too dry. I think I smoked it too long before wrapping. Curious to see how yours turns out.

The Food Depot has the best prices on brisket that I have found.
Corned beef briskets run about $3.00 an pound and the fresh briskets around $2.75 a pound.
They have them 4 or 5 pounds or the whole 20 pounder.

Thanks. I have been craving corned beef and cabbage lately. Nobody eats it in my family, but me. I was gonna cook 1 this past weekend, but all I could find was 1 at Ingles for $35.

I will stop at Food Depot on my way home today.

How do you make a reuben? Like what do you do with the corn beef?

Love me some smoked brisket! But hard to justify unless we have a large group of folks over. And then it needs to be a *close* group of friends! Brisket and skirt steak used to be super-cheap cuts, but not any more!
