Brisket time

chicagokp · Nov 13, 2016

Saturday was a gorgeous day for smoking and I had a hankering for brisket.

It was a little nippy at first, but the Shirley was up to temp in 45 minutes. Love that thing.

Had it seasoned up with some salt lick. It was going to get the butcher paper wrap treatment after 4 hours or so.

It was really tender. Definitely less bark promotion wrapped in paper.

Slicing.

Some cut up point pieces.

I missed plate shots, but we also had cornbread casserole, pickles, beans and a rockin slaw that Shagdog made.

Then we had dessert.

It was a nice evening for sure!

Thanks. Not sure I have a favorite out of those three, but the Aberlour is very tasty.

Thanks Titch. I'm not sure I'll cook in paper all the time, but it was definitely juicy!
