Hanging a brisket

Kaptain Kadian · Aug 14, 2018

I am debating on hanging a brisket in my uds this weekend with my homemade meat hanging rack. I have hung ribs and chicken so far and they turned out pretty good. Has anyone tried hanging a brisket? How did it compare to one just sitting on the rack the whole time? Thanks

I've hung a bunch of them and really like this method. Full packers and packers sliced in half lengthwise if I want to have one for the freezer to reheat later.

For safety, you can do the double hook method, shown on ribs but you get the idea. If you look close on the top photo ^ you can see I put a couple of stitches with cooking string, just so the point would not tear away.

Thanks. I saw the double hook method used on the pbc YouTube channel. I was definitely going to use 2

I decided to try it out tomorrow. I got a 15 lbs prime packer from Costco today and trimmed and seasoned it tonight. I trim pretty aggressive. It is injected with big poppa smokers cattle prod and seasoned with smokin guns mild. Resting overnight and will go on early in the morning.

Awesome! Excited to see what happens because I was going to do this last weekend. Was a little nervous so I went with a smaller brisket that would fit on the rack.

Very nice! You leave it hanging the whole cook or did you take it down to wrap at some point?

I don’t want to hijack the ops thread... I cooked mine on a rack but I had to trim down so it was perfect size. I’d like to do the hanging method so I am excited to see how kaptains is!

Time to wrap. I had to run to Walmart and could have wrapped a little earlier. Temp got a little hotter than I wanted, but oh well.

Brisket is done and resting in a cooler. I am not going to be eating it until tomorrow. I will report back with the results

Here is the results. Overall, the brisket was pretty good. The bottom section got too burned and the outside edges were overdone as well. I am not sure that hanging it added anything to the brisket and it made it where some of it was not edible. I couldn't taste a noticeable difference in the brisket either. Burnt ends were really good. The half of the brisket was really good. I like hanging ribs and chicken, but I am not sure that I would hang a brisket again.
