Basic Brisket Tutorial (pron heavy) - Page 8

Sunra · 12-10-2009, 06:16 AM

Chris, This is an excellent tutorial, easy to follow lots of pics. It is essentially fool proof maybe it should be called "The Dummies Guide To Making Brisket".

Thanks Again this has taken the fear out of making brisket and I'm sure all would agree. Its like a paint by number tutorial LOL.

VERY NICE!!!!!!!!
Thanks for taking the time for us Chris

Mr. Bo · 12-12-2009, 09:27 PM

Thanks Chris.

In retrospect, that's very similar to the way I started doing briskets years ago. The problem was, that over the years, I was trying to improve on the basics. As new products and methods were presented to me I went with the flow and tried new things. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing and my brisket seemed to get better.
But...Tomorrow it's back to the basics with a trimmed and separated packer with a thin coating of EVOO, then coarse sea salt, next is garlic powder and finally black pepper. Just couldn't help adding the EVOO and garlic powder.

The point was also sprinkled with some of my rub for a taste comparison after the cook and some burnt ends.
It's all trimmed, seasoned and in the fridge since about 3 this afternoon and will be smoked tomorrow. Pics in another thread then if all goes as planned.

Again thanks for the KISS thread and the tutorial!

Chris,

Thanks so much for this post. A lot of the tips really helped make my first successful packer brisket.

fwiw, the left half was cut with an electric knife and the right with a carving knife. I couldn't tell much of a difference in any way and the electric knife really didn't save much time. I know what it stays in a closet in the basement.

Thanks again Chris!

That is a fantastic looking brisket! Very good to hear you had a great brisket, it's my favorite. Well, actually my favorite is the burnt ends, but brisket is still 2nd best.
