I kept looking for the flak (the plane, not the brisket.)

It's not done yet. Still cooking. This is my first attempt at brisket. We'll see if it works. Playing with my new smoker.

ETA: I want one of those planes. Coyote hunting would never be the same.

Just



go



slow

if you can keep the smoker at 225 and get the meat to 205. . .then let it rest. . .The problem is that it is a 14 beer job.

How's that gonna work when he doesn't drink?

[mattawajeep]

I put a half cup of beer in the mop sauce. Does that count?

It's a pain adjusting the smoker. Can't seem to keep it down at 225, it likes to hang between 235-245. The next lowest setting keeps things around 190-200.

Probably has to do with the smoker being a bit small for a whole brisket. Might take some creative computer work. I have a spare Rasberry Pi with serial port just lying around.

Maybe put some welding blankets or furniture pads over it. . .235 isn't going to be a deal breaker, but what I've learned is that if you take it off below 200 internal temp it will actually taste like burnt shoe leather and you'll swear it was overcooked. All off the connective tissue will melt at 195-200 but it takes a long time to do it. Lots of energy to make that last chemical leap from solid to liquid so it will just hang out at 180 or so for a LONG time.

Damn. . .I'm hungry.

I know that Dale doesn't drink, that's why it being a 14 beer job is such a problem. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO SMOKE A BRISKET!!!!

Insulation is probably a pretty good idea, that would certainly stabilize things. All the wind down here was probably cooling off my smoker and forcing it to feed too many pellets.

I cheated a bit and wrapped the brisket in foil after 4.5 hours when the temp started to stall at 155-160. Once it was in the foil the smoker was able to hold the 225 temp. Dunno what happened there, perhaps an airflow change by the thermometer after shifting stuff around.

3 hours later I pulled it out and the temp was right at 200. Left it on the smoker for another 1 hr foil free and the temp seems to be smack dab at 205.

Didn't take as long as I was expecting. Running at 235 for as long as it did probably sped things along. Course this brisket only weighed 8.8lbs before I trimmed off some of the fat.



It's been wrapped in foil again, and stuck in an ice chest to wait an hour or so for dinner.

It's Saturday morning. Who's got a brisket hangover?






That looks yummy.

It is pretty sad when Wal-Mart has to put a spot in for police parking.

Presented with a trophy last night from the Desert Rats.
Gary and Leonard saved the stick I yanked out of my tire at the Jamboree.
They had it coated and mounted on a lawn mower wheel.
I haven't won a trophy since high school.

He's since taken it up a notch with 3 blade bigger motors...

Now if he could make the guns fire and have it puff smoke when it starts I'd be sold!!!
