16.5 lb brisket at HEB

If I had taken that roast a little hotter and let it sit longer, that connective tissue would have dissolved better into jelly. The last one I did, that stuff was just about completely dissolved.

BTW, did mainly pecan with a little oak and just 1 chimney of kingsford.

If I could find these roasts more often and at that price(99¢), I would probably pick that over brisket. Easier to cook, great flavor and gets done faster.

Shoooot!! I thought mine was a really big one !

........ I'll slink off and get mine slow cooked .... and NO PICS!
(here in Utah mine is still a fairly big one).

14+ lbs is pretty large. This was just a monster.

One of our local walmarts is now carrying 15+ pounders now so I'm starting to keep a couple on hand (got a 15.3 and 16.4 today) at all times now :-D There going for 1.28 a pound

The brisket just hit 196 in the flat, has been double foiled and put into the cooler to rest for 2 hours. MIDNIGHT SNACK!

Good stuff maynard. Never would have thought I could cook that hot and this thing is very juicy. Not the best tenderness, but I probably should have let it sit just a while longer. Very good beefy taste, I can see why Fab B is popular.

I scraped off the fat layer so these pics look a little mutilated.

This brisket as stated weighed 16.5 lbs, went on at 12:30PM and came off at 10PM and sliced a little after midnight.

BTW, I am really liking that sabatier slicing knife.
