Brother bought me a brisket

Samichlaus · 05-21-2005, 12:43 PM

He enthusiasticly proclaimed , "I got you the biggest one in the whole meat case!!"

Should I seperate this thing? The brisket is not really that long. The point seems pretty thick to me.

jminion · 05-21-2005, 12:56 PM

I would cook it whole.
I just pickup a case of CABs, 79 total pound, average 13 pounds a piece. Will wet age up to 45 days.

What Mr. Minion said. The flat looks thick enough. If you check temps you might consider pulling it when the flat is done, seperate the pooint and then put that back in the smoker to finish cooking for some burnt ends.

HEB had some very small packers today. They averaged 8lbs. I bought one to try.

Ron_L · 05-21-2005, 02:19 PM

Man... That's Brisket-zilla! Around here, whole briskets are special order... I have a hard time finding a flat over 5 lbs or so... Sam's had a couple today but they were $3.75/lb...

Bigmista · 05-21-2005, 06:49 PM

I agree. Smoke it whole. Not as big as you think. You need to trim the fatcap.

icemn62 · 05-21-2005, 09:39 PM

Must be nice to ahve a brother like that, I have trouble to get my brother to spring for beer. Cook the baby whole.

roknrandy · 05-21-2005, 10:59 PM

I'm going to try my first one tomorrow (It's the only thing they carry). I've been watching the price for the last week or so and it doesn't change. I'll have to look around for a whole one. What would this be considered a flat (package description) or a tip (because it's so small)?

You need to drive around the bottom of the lake, Sam's over here have 7-8# packer flats all time for $2.46/# and at Wallyworld the whole packer is usually $1.18 and they are in the 13-16# range.

Hey Randy, make sure you soak that corned beef in water for at least 24 hrs. changing the water every 12 hrs. You need to desallinate the farker.

JIM
when you say wet age you just leave it in the package in you fridge

roknrandy · 05-22-2005, 08:22 AM

Thanks Neil, I'll do that. I'm going to put it on the smoker tomorrow morning.

That is the technique Jim is referring to.
CyroVaced brisket is kept at 33-38 degrees for up to 50 days or so.
Look here for a recent discussion:

http://www.bbq-brethren.com/index.ph...=aging+brisket

Within that thread is a reference back to DRBBQs post on the subject also.
Good reading.

Chad and I do this and it works, IMHO.
