Brisket on for THE game tonight, Ga. vs Alabama

ronbrad62 · Oct 17, 2020

This is the brisket I picked up from Kroger from their recent $1.77/lb. sale. It looked pretty good, not as much marbling in the point as the last one, but nice by any standards.
I seasoned it with a new rub I found on sale yesterday at Academy, Lambert's Sweet Rub o'Mine Texas Beef. I also added a layer of Meat Church Holy Cow to the point because I love the peppery flavor of that one.
The entire brisket was too big for the keg, so I separated the point from the flat. On at 6 am, eating at 7, so I may have to cook around 275-300 to make sure that we do. The entire brisket was 18-1/2 lbs.
Oh, and I picked up some Post Oak chunks at Academy to see if that makes a difference in my usual cook.

Awesome!

Ron have you used any of academys chunks before? I'm running low on my drums and was wondering about these vs what home depot has.

Alos......any smokers on sale at Academy?? Asking for a friend :-D

Nothing on end of season sale or clearance

The chunks seem huge, majority were $5.99/bag and I think that is much less than HD.

Daunting undertaking. Good luck on getting it done on time. You probably will at that temp.

Wow. That’s a man size brisket. That will be some fine eating. Enjoy

How many kroger briskets you have left after this one?

So far what you have there is looking good - let us know how the rub tastes.

The food will be far better than the that weird game ... has anyone ever heard of those teams before?

That was the only one I bought (you know, that whole wife says no room thing), but I did get a raincheck for future use because the store I was in was out.:loco:

This is going to be good Ron! Can't wait to see the final result. Really pulling for the Dawgs to pull one out tonight!

The brisket turned out good, not great. The rub was okay, just not outstanding flavor. I will give it another shot and give it a second good coating midway through cooking. The neighbors were supposed to arrive at 7 to eat well before the game, but they were about 20 minutes late and the slices had dried out a bit by the time we actually sat down, and that was disappointing, but the burnt ends were the star. They were perfect, and even my wife liked them.

Ron, Good Looking Brisket there my friend, I would not have complained.
Sorry about your Dawgs brother. They put up a good fight.

No, but I had faith they would be on time. Silly me.

Hi Ron,

Looks nice! We have been making Chile with our leftover brisket from a few weeks ago.

That probably the same thing I will do. My wife likes a good bowl of chili, so she put up with my wanting brisket, I will knock her socks off with some chili.
