Knows what a fatty is.
Been smoking regularly last couple years but never ventured into brisket territory yet
Done lots of searching online and although some info there, not necessarily that much for flats on a drum
Was given a 11 lb flat and have it thawing for sunday supper and thought i would ask here for some suggestions
From what i have read i am thinking i should
Dry brine overnight and then S P maybe onion amd garlic as rub
Weber briquets and some oak chunks
wrap at about 160 (dont have butcher paper so i guess that leaves foil)
Trim and cook fat down (leaving about 1/4” fat)
Drum at 275 ish so it doesnt take forever
Add a little beef broth when wrapping
Start checking when thickest part at 195 but call it done when probe tender
Leave wrapped in cooler for at leat an hour but up to 4hrs
Slice thin against grain immediately prior to serving
Leave myself lots of time just in case it doesnt want to get done ( seems like my beef roasts always like to take longer than i think)
Good plan? If you pros have any different suggestions i would appreciate it
Thanks
