first time flats

ironmanerik · Aug 31, 2013

I have done about 10 packers but never a flat sams had one packer and a bunch of flats so why not. They may have been marked wrong,they were 2.58$ a pound. My question is do flats cook that much faster than packers, pit is running 250*, both about 7 lbs, and IT is 140* in an hour and a half is that normal?

That is all the fat from both flats

I've never checked a brisket that early, but it sounds reasonable. Things will slow down from there as the internal fat and connective tissues start to render.

150 to 185 will take a heck of a lot longer.

A couple of bacon wrapped dogs never hurt

Put them on at 9 by 11 they were at 160, now at 1:45 they are 170.

Still a long way to go.

6 o'clock one is wrapped and in the cooler, 198 and probe tender so much for going to fast, luckily I have burgers, beans, and ABTs

No finish pics, 6 o'clock turned into 7:45 and the keg was pouring really nice. Normally would have wrapped at 160* but didn't this time, and other than taking longer didn't notice a difference in taste or texture.
