OK decided the next one I do will be HNF. Putting it in as soon as I get it prepped. The linked artticle is a bit tough to follow for me anyway, they say go one hour, then flip, and go another hour (for 2 total) or maybe another 2 hours (for 3 total) then wrap in Butcher paper and go til tender but check at 2 hours.

UDS is fired and stabilized at 300f.

Not planning on flipping, I really do not hear much about flipping here on Brisket, but will flip if it is needed.

Also once wrapped, fat cap up or down ?? I do run a pizza pan diffuser in my UDS.

Fat cap down don't flip unless your running a diffuser plate then it is up to you. Recipes are just guide lines don't afraid to take some liberties.

Oh yes we always take liberties ;-).

But what do you think, wrap in butcher paper at 2 hours or 3 hours ?

If you are gonna wrap, "when the color is right" is a time used by many.

Normally in the 160-170 degree range, but strictly personal preference.

Good Luck

Ok IT hit 160 and bark looked pretty firm, so I rapped it, about 2.75 hours in at 300f. I gave it a quick spray with 1/4 Maggi seasoning, 1/4 Lee and Perrins Worchesterschire, and 1/2 bottled water.


I had made some shallow cuts with the grain to maybe let the rub penetrate a bit more explains the apparence of the surface, smells GREAT.

It's looking good, I like to get a little darker on the surface, but, your going good.

I always seek progress not perfection, but more perfect is better for sure :-).

How long do you rest it in a cooler if you do ??

I put it in close the lid and Walk away once it has been on for 40 min a Lb i start porbing. I don't put mine in a cooler, I rest it on the counter tented under foil until the IT drops into the 140's the slice and eat.

Makes perfect sense.......so the only change with a higher temp is starting to check sooner ?

Looks great though, hang in there.

Here it is, separated point and flat, tented flat, chopped point for burnt ends, returned them to the UDS. The samples I had while chopping were yummy :-).

Every one is "the next one will be better" :-). It was OK, probably pulled to soon, burnt ends were good. Flat will be consumed this week :-).

Honestly wrapping in butcher paper made probing more difficult, and trying to feel it inside the paper for womans breast tactile feel did not work so well for me.
