My first successful brisket!!
Wow - what a thrill! My wife spotted a 6# flat (@ $1.99/lb) and sent me a pic from the store. It looked fantastic, so I said GRAB IT!!
I opened it up to check it out and rub it. It looked even better out of the bag. So I applied the rub. Here it is all prepped and waiting for the 22.5 WSM to come up to heat. I tried to keep the temp at 215 to 220. It varied a little, but other than a couple of short spikes to 230, it hung right around 215 to 225. I put in a full bag of Kingsford Competition briquettes and used the Minion method. I have a feeling the temperature spikes were probably from the wood chunks flaring. When it hit 165 (about 4 1/2 hours later) I foiled it with some of the juices it gave off (there was plenty). 4 hours after that it hit 203 and I pulled it from the fire. I used a baster to get most of the juice from the foil, wrapped it tightly in the foil. Next came a couple of big towels and into the cooler. Three hours after that I unwrapped it and cut it up for the table. The picture doesn't do that hunk of meat justice. It was exactly the color I wanted, and boy was it juicy and flavorful. Just writing about it makes my mouth water. Four of us consumed almost that whole flat. Tomorrow I'm smoking a pastrami. I'll try to get some pron before it all gets eaten.

There's no stopping you now! Pastrami should be a piece of cake after nailing that brisket.

Congratulations on the brisket! It's a great feeling to finally get one right. I remember the first one I got right. It was a long time ago but I can still taste it in my memory. May you not have to wait as long as I did for the next good one! LOL

My first successful brisket!!
That's awesome!!!
I've tried one, well, one time. Absolute failure. Have not had the nerve to try it again. I have been grinding brisket that's on sell for hamburgers, meatloaf, etc. that's worked out real well!! I think my two goles this summer will be to get a brisket down and beef ribs!! If I can master those two I will be so happy!!

That's a good woman to text you about a hunk of beef. I need to find someone like that, every girl I've dated hasn't give two rips about food or grilling. Guess that's normal though and you got a rare one that does like it, or at least knows how much you do.
