Sunday's Brisket Smoke A Work In Progress

[Midnight Smoke]

10 Lb'r

Marinated for 36 hours.

This Brisket was very flexible.

Trimmed this one down of most of the fat. Tried to leave enough for some good flavor and hope I did not trim to much.

Seasoned with some Sea Salt, Pepper (Red,White and Black) and some Garlic. Into the the Egg with some Pecan.

What was the marinade?

^^^^
Ditto that.

Looking good. That is pretty trim, but maybe the marinade will help.

 

[Midnight Smoke]

What was the marinade?

3 Cans of Coke (small cans) 1 Can Miller Lite, 1 can Beef Broth. Added 1/4 cup Brown Sugar, some Salt, Pepper and a little Wooshire sauce with a touch of Soy Sauce.

Wow! That is some marinade there. Can't wait to hear the results.

 

[Midnight Smoke]

Been on 9 hours now, temp is at 167º
It's almost Noon and want dinner about 6
Should I foil?????

Looks pretty moist. Are you mopping? If not let it ride. Foil will just steam and ruin bark this early.

You know, I am a little green at Brisket's. All I have is one last can of Coke that I have been Spraying on it. When do you think I should foil?

 

[HeSmellsLikeSmoke]

At what temperature are you smoking? Normally, you can crank up the heat a bit to speed it up, but I have suspect the coke coating would burn and ruin the bark.

I have never marinated nor tried to glaze a brisket, so I have little to offer but my interest in how this turns out.

I like to foil mine at 160 - 170*. It keeps the ends from drying out so bad.

Smoking at 225º, OK no more Coke

Looks like I am getting ready to Foil.

 

[bigabyte]

I would probably foil as opposed to letting that coke spritz stay on there and probably burn.

Looks good so far. Do you ever use your UDS anymore?

Thanks! Since I got the Egg the UDS has only been used a couple times. :sad: Between the Weber Kettles and the Egg it just about covers all I do.

I will be using the UDS more this summer on bigger cooks.

Nice job with the brisket and the pics.

How was the taste and texture?

 

[HeSmellsLikeSmoke]

Well, that dang sure looks like you hit a home run there. Give us some feedbsck. :biggrin:

 

[cheez59]

Well now I think you may have been sandbagging a bit here. That brisket looks as good as any I have seen anywhere.:eusa_clap

 

[Norcoredneck]

Man looks great! What is your take on it?
