Two Bears
Full Fledged Farker
So I did a brisket Sunday on the new 500 gallon reverse flow smoker and when it was about 4 hours in the cook it made 160 so I foiled until she broke 200.
My question is this, I did not have much if any bark on the brisket. It had a lot of color to it and the smoke ring was very good but no bark.
Keep in mind that this is the second cook on this smoker BUT I am used to getting good bark on the brisket and butts.
Is this normal for reverse flow designs? Should I let her buck without foil longer next time to see if it takes on the bark?
The temps were at 250 for most all of the cook and used hickory for wood.
Any ideas or thoughts on the bark??
Here is the only picture of the brisket sliced.
