Brisket Today!

[Gary in VA]

So, was hankerin to cook a brisket that had been in the freezer for a while.... so.... thawed it out.... trimmed and rubbed it last night with a new rub I came up with and had it all ready to drop on the Primo at 4:00 am this morning.



it is now just before noon and internal temp is at 147. I figure I will foil it around 2:00 pm this afternoon to speed things up a bit. More pics to follow.



I decided to use the Primo because it just wouldn't fit on the WSM and I would have had to cut it in half or bunch it up or something and that probably wouldn't work.

I saw a book with tons of rubs in it and now I wish I would have gotten it. You got up at 4am to put a brisket on, what a guy. What time did it finally finish up? Who fixes the sides and what will you serve with it. Baked beans, corn bread, crunchy slaw and hot bread is what I would serve.

And... Dinner was served!







rub experiment turned out well... could use a little tweaking, but all in all I was definately satisfied. Brisket was very tender and very moist.
