Brisket Sammie's
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs148.ash2/40730_126410440750712_100001452716818_154816_4760751_n.jpg)
5.8 lb Brisket from Kroger...
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs559.ash2/148105_126410460750710_100001452716818_154817_7600407_n.jpg)
The night before I planned to smoke this Brisket...

I applied a coat of yellow mustard...

Next, apply a liberal amount of your favorite rub.
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs485.ash2/75844_126410607417362_100001452716818_154821_2844412_n.jpg)
Sweet!!
Sammie looks off the chain!
Sweet!
Jaccard??
Hey Pat, I don't think that is my Jaccard 45 Knife SS but a cheap one that my wife picked up at Kroger's a few months ago.
Mighty fine indeed
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs948.snc4/74153_126410564084033_100001452716818_154818_2667408_n.jpg)
I placed the Brisket on the third rest from the top.
I couldn't place on the bottom rest since I use that for the Heat Diverter
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs157.snc4/37195_126410824084007_100001452716818_154824_1382033_n.jpg)
I used a Budweiser Lager...
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs396.ash2/67473_126410814084008_100001452716818_154823_8387338_n.jpg)
for making a mop sauce!
Basic Beer Mop:
12 oz beer (Don't use Lite beer, will make it bitter)
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon of your favorite rub
In a saucepan mix together the mopping ingredients and warm over low heat!
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs924.snc4/73701_126410797417343_100001452716818_154822_4995605_n.jpg)
I like a lot of smoke so I used about 5-6 hours...
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs909.snc4/72228_126410837417339_100001452716818_154825_5219900_n.jpg)
After 3 hours in I begun to mop the Brisket with the Budweiser sauce about every hour or so...
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs927.snc4/74066_126410860750670_100001452716818_154826_6304136_n.jpg)
After about 10 hours in...
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs921.snc4/73447_126411564083933_100001452716818_154828_2991006_n.jpg)
I will cook this until the IT reaches 203f.
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs565.ash2/148700_126411580750598_100001452716818_154829_3936900_n.jpg)

After the IT hit 203f I then FTC for 3 hours... couldn't wait any longer...
Gurrrrrr that was my belly, I was hungry!
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs990.snc4/76323_126437304081359_100001452716818_154892_1095090_n.jpg)
Time to trim the fat...
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs495.ash2/76854_126437610747995_100001452716818_154901_2970656_n.jpg)
Next I flipped it over and the beauty was ready for trimming.

The test...
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs497.ash2/77049_126437660747990_100001452716818_154905_314545_n.jpg)
Now that works - A+

Not bad!!
Let's Eat!!
Nice Work Mark!
I like it.
Sauce sounds delicious!
I'm interested in that heat deflector. Is that somethng you made yourself or something purchased?
I had these custom made to fit my Bradley.
classicrockgriller also has one that I sent him.
If you are interested I may still have a couple left, send me a PM and I'll send you the info.
Oooohh God ......that looks so good. Nice work.
Looks excellent and it's always good to see a cook which didn't deplete the supply of real (drinkable) beer or whisky.
Mighty fine lookin brisket, mighty fine.
Nice.
And that heat deflector is a unique idea. I like the concept and execution.
Pachanga
I think I see how the heat deflector is set up and what it does but would really like to see a separate thread on it if you have time. Thanks.
