First post newb. Woke up early this AM and fired up my newly built UDS for a brisket flat smoke. 8 degrees outside. Reread the basic brisket tutorial...and off to the races. Two hours in and my UDS is holding 230-250 nicely with a couple of small spikes to 260 or so. Here are a couple pics.....more to follow.

Four and a half hours in. Temp holding 235 or so. My question is to wrap or not to wrap?

Budman1 11-30-2013 12:39 PM

Some do some don't. Looking good anyway. Can't wait for the grand finale!

If the color is where you want it, wrap. If it ain't, don't.

mikemci 11-30-2013 01:10 PM

The color looks good (for me). I would wrap in butcher paper at this point, especially if you are cooking at 235f, it will have it ready to eat sooner. I normally do brisket hotter. Keep us posted....looking really good.

Pulled it at 7 hours. Good probe check. Wrapped in foil and towels and in cooler for the next couple of hours. I did not add any broth or liquid.....do I need to? Took serious will power to not taste a bite. Fingers crossed, beer in hand, great football going on.

Rats! I should've wrapped it earlier.....just like I was advised. I pulled it at what I thought was "probe tender" but it was pretty dry. I think it was undercooked. Delicious but undercooked. Here are some final pics. Next time brisket, next time!

Diesel Dave 11-30-2013 05:07 PM

We all live and learn.

Probe tender is a thing you have to do a few times to really get the feel for.

But if it tastes good then you did fine

Last one before scarfing

Last full plate pic with Memphis BBQ sauce. I can't leave my favorite home sauce out of the pic....it was the saving grace for moisture. Darn it!

Good cook. I'd hit that. I've been on a brisket drought myself lately. Gonna do two full packers tomorrow at 300° per Bludawg's advice and see if that leaves them a little wetter. Hedging the bet just a little, though. Gonna wrap one in butcher paper and one in foil.

Elmerf15 11-30-2013 05:19 PM

Next time I'm doing a full packer or sticking with pork. Anxious to see the butcher paper/foil winner 71.
