Knows what a fatty is.
Hi Friends,
This weekend I went ahead and smoked a brisket - (15lb) and some beef ribs.
My first problem was that I needed to fold the brisket over itself to fit into my smoker, I folded it over with the flat facincing up and fat cap facing down - I inserted the temperature probe into the point and when the smoker was running at 225 F in it went.
When the temp reached 160 F I removed the brisket, separated the flat and point - wrapped in foil and back in it went until the temp reached 196 F.
Both were removed and let to rest for 1.5 hrs.
My problem was that the brisket was not ready and could have stayed in the smoker for a cpl more hrs as it was not as tender as I was hoping for.
Therefore my question is as follows - do you test for tenderness and temperature of which one should take precedence ?
My Beef ribs were great as were the burnt ends made from the point.
In the pictures, I have shown the brisket after 1 hr, then prior to wrapping after separating the point and flat.
Comments are always welcome
