First try brisket - WOW!

Smokeville · July 04, 2009, 07:28:27 AM

Hello all;

My first attempt at brisket (11lb packer cut) is right now in FTC limbo land....

Last night at 5pm, in for 1 hour Jim Beam, 5 hours of mesquite. Took it out at 11pm and into the 200F oven with foil until 9am this morning.

When I tested the temperature, the tip of the instant read thermometer went right through with no pressure at all. That worried me a bit, and the brisket nearly fell apart when I moved it from the pan to the counter to wrap it up.

So it is either (a) darned tender or (b) all fat.

I'll post again this afternoon when it decloaks from the cooler.

Oh Goody a multiple choice test.

My answer is also "A" -- Darned tender! Could also be "D" Darned tasty also!
