Monster Brisket

[srfshane]

From time-to-time there are posts here regarding the biggest briskets you've ever seen/cooked. Here's a pic we just received from Gil Taft of a brisket he used at his class this weekend (http://gatewaybbqstore.com/cooking-classes/gillys-bbq-championship-cooking-class/)

At 26 lbs., it's a monster! Can for scale

 

[Smith's Pig Pen]

Wow. Nothing over 20 here

 

[Jason TQ]

Geez! I cooked a 22lb'er and though that was massive.

 

[lennitt]

That gotta take a while to cook. @ 1 1/2 hrs a lb = 39 hrs!!!

 

[el_matt]

That's gonna require a BIG crock pot!

Oh wait, that's not a rack of ribs. Nevermind

It would be interesting to see how long that large of a brisket takes to cook, but there seems to be a point where the ratio of brisket size to cook time doesn't continue at the same per/lb rate. If that makes sense.

When I cooked that 22lber I also cooked an 18lber and they 22 actually finished first.

That must of been one insanely fat cow.

I would gladly conduct an experiment to see how long it would take to cook one. Where can I send my shipping info? :becky:

 

[sliding_billy]

You sure that was from a beef cow and not a buffalo? :shock:

 

[INmitch]

Did it have a thick flat?

 

[Johnny_Crunch]

I am scared to ask what that cost.

 

[ShencoSmoke]

I'd like to see her undressed.

 

[Bigr314]

Wow!

 

[slow-smoker]

Wow, I'm thrilled when I can find one over 8 lbs at Sams.

 

[THoey1963]

I've done a 15 pounder that trimmed down to 14 and a 17.5 that went to 16.5. That thing is huge...

 

[hogzillas]

I'm not sure I'd want to see what that came from, it might not be normal :shock:

 

[frognot]

That's the biggest one I've ever seen!

More like a very old cow.

 

[Smokin' Greene]

It won't need a BIG crock pot...it should shrink some after par boiling it a BIG pot with some liquid smoke.

Or did I confuse that with a rack of ribs too?
