Brisket time!

[landarc]

Cousin Gordon (retired NYPD) is flying in from NY, and since I screwed up the dinner reservations, he will finally get a brisket.

Rub the brisket up with California sand. Or brisket rub that I call CA sand.

All trimmed up, Choice Angus, I forget how much it weighed.

Coated with sand, and I have no idea why this image just refuses to post normally.

Two hours or so in, looking good.

5 hours in, not sure whether to wrap or not. I have 4 hours left to cook, hmmm....

I did wrap for about 1.5 hours, then unwrapped for 30 minutes and done.

Nice looking brisket there!

if you are wrapping in paper go ahead. if foil, i would give it another hour before wrapping. sucks that he has to get an awesome brisket vs an average dinner.

He's a cop. You better use dunkin donuts crumbled donuts as a rub.

After this he's gonna ask you to screw up reservations every time he comes to town lol.

I have to say, House of Prime Rib is a lot better than average, plus, it's a great old time vibe.

Funny enough, since having to retire, Gordo has gotten healthy in his habits.

Bob, is that turbinado in your "sand"??

Yes, about 5% is coarse Turbinado sugar, you cannot taste it, there is no sweetness. However, I like the effect a little sugar offers.

Now, if I wrap, and I might, I do get a 'sugar cookie' and maybe the sugar plays a role in that.
