Redeemed myself after failed briskets!

Try Injecting it with melted beef tallow. You can't screw it up from that point on!

See that’s where you’re wrong. I tried that before and I did in fact screw it up lol. Basically my smoker can go from 225 to over 450 in a min. That’s what happened last time. I over compensated and ended up with dirty smoke. So dried out as bitter meat was not the best $120 spent lol.
Next time I’m injecting though!

I've been lucky...never had a bad brisket.
Takes time...low & slow
I like smoking Chuck Roast like a brisket too
My RT pellet smoker makes it super easy.

I like brisket but it can be tricky. I've screwed up plenty of them. I like it but not enough to cook it regularly. The last couple I did I smoked for about 10 hours and the entire brisket was cut up into chunks for burnt ends. Bucees is opening in Brunswick soon and I'll get my sliced brisket fix from them. Theirs is very good. Always moist and tender. I do like smoking a corned beef flat. This time of year when corned beef is on sale I throw a few in the freezer just for that.

I absolutely loved their sliced briskets! Also their fudge is amazing.

Agreed. I am not big on brisket anyway.... But some good beef ribs are amazing!

Beef ribs are next. I’m just waiting to see them at my farmers market.

Haven’t tried the food at Bucky’s but I’ve heard that it’s really good

You can find them at Sam's but you have to ask for them. They show them on their website. They cut flanken style ribs from them. The come sealed in a 2 pack. They're super meaty and delicious smoked.

Briskets are not too hard. The only ones I’ve ever messed up were due to trying to do too much and get fancy.

Trim it and make it as aerodynamic as possible. Salt and pepper… garlic if you want.
225 until 185 internal and wrap in pink butchers paper to finish it off. (201 degrees)

Let it rest, and make burnt ends with the point. Give everyone else the flats

I cook brisket at 225 until 165 internal ,then wrap it.
Take it off at 198 and let rest wrapped in a large towel.
Haven’t ruined one yet.

Yea man I finally got this big smoker dialed in. I couldn’t maintain 225 on this smoker so I found 250-300 is the sweet spot. I actually ran this one to 250-275 degrees inside. Had to feed the fire every 20 mins though.
