It may have been done many times here (I'll search the forums), but I'll take any suggestions for reheating and using leftovers in recipes that I can get.

Awesome job. I am a brisket rookie and I love them even if they are not perfect.

They'll have to be a "once in a while" treat for my family, or my wife will skin me for spending too much money, LOL.

Pretty good video but he takes off a lot more fat than I would.


That video is a great example of what NOT to do.

Why cringe over him removing fat? Your doctor would probably cringe if he didn't.
Of course- if you like fat...eat it all- you only live once.

Removing the fat was not the only offense. The guy in the video looks like he smoked his brisket naked.

I didn't take photos of the final, sliced product. My guests were here and ready to eat. I didn't think the flat was as tender as I was expecting. It probed with 0 resistance. In hindsight, I would have removed it from the foil and checked tenderness. I may have even put it back in the smoker to see if the bark would firm back up. I'm a total brisket rookie, so I'm open to critiques and suggestions. It may have been a "not great" cut of meat. It was a Wal Mart purchase... $46 for 13 lbs. I couldn't find a grade on it, but you more experienced pit masters can probably tell me the grade given weight and price.

Overall, I probably wouldn't splurge for it again, unless it's something I did that limited the quality of the results. I should note that all of the people who ate it told me I was nuts for expressing disappointment in the outcome. Also, we are eating it now as Sunday dinner, and I think it's better than it was last night. I did a few things to it to dress it up.

Removing fat is not an offense - might not be the way you'd do it.

Neither is smoking a brisket naked... unless it's you- not wearing clothes- doing it in your driveway.

Lots of ways to do bbq - how boring it would be if there was only one way.

LOL, that's what I thought he meant at first. I thought, "Wow, how would he know whether the guy was dressed when he cooked it?" I think I need sleep. Getting up so early yesterday to cook the brisky is catching up with me.

It is really easy to set one's own expectations a bit higher than is realistic. A brisket has its own, if you will, personality. You can do the exact same thing to two seemingly identical pieces and have them come out differently.

I know when I am cooking I have this vision of Ambrosia of the Gods results that seldom meets with reality. Take it a little easier on yourself. Your guests liked it. Did it have a nice smoke ring? That is always pleasing.

It did have a great smoke ring, and I used it as an illustration to educate my guests. We are eating only the point now, and there's a little piece left. I'll snap a quick photo and post it here.

As for the chef expecting Ambrosia and the meal not delivering... been there done that. In fact, in different terminology, I just told my family that I think that's a common occurrence when one puts so much into a meal.

This is what's left of the point.
