Fast Track Brisket - The Quest Continues
If you recall I was bitchin' last week about the bark on my hot-n-fast brisket. Another one hit the pit today and so far, it looks better that any of the others. Instead of my very traditional no-sugar brisket rub I went with a layer of Dizzy Dust topped with a layer of Jim Goode's Beef Rub. The basics I like are still there (salt, pepper, onion, garlic,) but both rubs have sugar which I never use on brisket, and a few other spices too. Injection stayed the same.
Here is the boy all rubbed down. This is at 2 hours into the cook. This is about 3 hours into the cook. I'm going to pull and foil in 30 minutes. This is about 3-1/2 hours into the cook, ready for the foil stage. The flat was 170°, the nose a few degrees lower. Other than some tong damage, the bark looks good. kickassbbq recommendations from last week: "Cover them for about 1.5 hours instead of 2 and when the internal temp gets to about 180-190 uncover them and crank the heat to 400 putting them near the hotest area of your smoker. Pull them off at 195-200. If you let them finish uncovered, they will have a nice bark". Thanks Ed, I'm pretty happy now, I'll see how it looks once it's 185°. It's really more of a timing thing since I was just playing with this technique today. Heck, it's only 1:30 in the afternoon here. This guy may have to rest in the cooler for a while.

Hey, that looks GREAT. I do like the Low and Slow, BUT, it is nice when you need to get one done fast and do not have all day. Now remember, if you cooler it too long the bark may get a little soft on ya. That does look really good. Please let us all know how it is when ya cut into her. Smoke On!!!!!!!

As Chad and I have said many times--
"It is not for everyone" With all due respect to KickAss, we cook in the low 300s. Normally 300 to 330, just wherever the cooker settles in depending on weather. Still-- really short times to cook to perfection. Great bark. As thick and firm as we want. Great flavor, moisture, and tenderness. We have no problem "catching it" on the foil stage and the "done" stage. So, test the whole temp range and do not focus on one end or the other! FWIW. TIM

Using temps in the 300°'s what is your time to weight ratio?

Our briskets are normally removed from the cooker at 195 degrees in 4-4.5 hours...they then hold, covered for several more hours.

.... looks dang good ... I trust your comments on the taste later. Your grate-level ( or dome ) temp was 350*F for the entire cook ??

Okay, here's the rundown. Because the finish time was middle afternoon the cooler rest was the only option. I usually go for a long rest on brisket anyway, so this worked out fine. Cook time to 198° in the flat was 6 hours on the button. The flavor and moisture were just right. Tenderness was "acceptable" on 1/4" slices, but leaned toward "real good" on 1/8" slices. I do need to point out that for these practice cooks, I've been buying SELECT grade in order to save $.60/pound. I've also been leaving more fat on the cap than usual, because I was scared of the higher pit temperature.
Here is a picture of the first cut. Tim & Chad, thanks for your advice and the info on your cooks. Tom, ..the entire cook was 350° grate temp. To get this, I started at 375° dome and later the two temps evened out a little.
