55I preface this with the wind chills have been absurd in the northeast last 2 weeks. Got a whole packer 14 pounds from RD. I have seen on this the boards high heat brisket. My question is, can I start smoking the first 1 to 1.5 at 350to 375 then finish.off low and slow, 250 to 255. Its not a completely original idea,I know LCs is Kansas tries this How long would this chop.off the cooking time? Anyone employs.this technique beforeShould I marinade or inject for insurance?. P.S Will be cooking on a 22.5 WSM using KO with a.legit wooden wind.screen..thanks..
 
What was the results in general? How would you compare against regular low and slow? Thanks

"my" method I'm referring to is based on what I know of certain restaurants holding methods. Ever hear a place claim to cook a brisket for 20 hrs? Same place may tell you they cook at 325. The truth is its both. They get the meat close then holds at a lower temp Until serving. My logic is it gets extra time to render and a larger window of perfection then a strictly hot cook. Here is a link to a hot & slow cook I did recently on the kettle.

I'll add that I don't do it to save time but it gives a more predictable finish time as well as I can start a brisket at night, put it in the oven and get sleep and have it ready for lunch. plus I like the results.

I've done a similar technique to the one you linked to in your other thread.
I started in my 22" kettle and finished in the oven.
My technique is called Don't Really Know the Temp in the Kettle & Slow. :twitch:

I only had the factory thermo on my kettle for the longest, and after I got a digital I realized I had no idea what temps I had been cooking at... I know it was pretty hot though, and turned out some of my best brisket to date.
 
That just happens to me with bigger briskets, my basket runs out of steam towards the end. Brisket still turns out fine.
