Talking Hot n' Fast Brisket On The UDS: Juicy Meaty Beefy Goodness

After my big meat score at Restaurant Depot, I decided my first casualty would be the USDA Choice Brisket. This one weighed in at just under 8lbs. You can see it here on the lower left:



After I pulled it out of the cryovac, I trimmed the fat cap just a bit, and rubbed it down with Moose's Rib Rub #3:



Meanwhile, I got my charcoal basket ready and filled it with briquets and a few pieces of oak and hickory:



I added about 15 lit briquets to the middle of the charcoal pile:



Put the charcoal basket in the drum and covered it, with all vents open so I could get it to temp:



Once the temp gauge hit 275, I closed the vents down about 1/4, and dialed it in at 325 degrees. Time to put the brisket on!



The drum held a steady 325 for the entire cook. I did flip it a few times, and also had some help from a friend who kept a watchful eye on the drum:



After 5.5 hours, it was done! I inserted a probe thermometer and it went it like butter in both the point and flat:



The missus wrapped it in foil, and we let it rest for a few hours. A bit later, our guests arrived, so it was time to get started on brisket deconstruction.



The meat was so tender I literally pulled the point from the flat without having to use a knife:



I saved the point, which I will cut into pieces in a few days and make burnt ends, so tonight we will enjoy the flat, which I slice against the grain:



Here is one plate we served, with corn that was picked about an hour before dinner, along with freshly picked salad greens and tomatoes from the garden:



This was the first brisket I cooked in my UDS, and it was absolutely amazing. So tender, and very juicy. I would like to acknowledge Bigabyte's excellent brisket tutorial as being instrumental in helping this be a successful cook. Thanks, Bigabyte! Brisket tutorial is HERE:

Thanks for asking, Guerry. He was a little down last week for obvious reasons, but in much better spirits now.

Wow, you're really encouraging me to try a brisket. Wonder what size I can fit on my UBS.

Nice job Moose, you done good. One thing, it looks like you cut that flat on a bias to the grain, it could have been even more tender.

Find a dehydrator and shrink it to fit.
