Hot & Fast 15.5lb Brisket (PRON added)

[thillin]

Picked up a 15.5lb choice brisket for $1.47/lb since my FIL is in town. Fired up the Spicewine this morning and threw on the heavily trimmed brisket. I think I trimmed about 3.5lbs of fat off. Injected and rubbed with John Henry's Brisket Rub. Brisket on at 9:50am 285 degrees at the grate. Hickory and pecan chunks. At the 3 hour point brisket is at 168 internal. I'll wrap in foil in the next 15 minutes.

Injected and rubbed.

172 internal about to be wrapped.

And a bonus. Wings raised direct from 2 nights ago. Went well with the crawfish boil. FIL came in from Gulfport, MS with a cooler full of crawfish. Wings were dusted with Yardbird and the kids loved them.

John Henry was brisket injecting man, born with an injection needle in his hands!

Great looking brisket there. Brisket is always better in Texas.

Where's the money shot?????????

This was one of my best briskets ever. I sliced it about 6PM and took it down the street to mhy SIL house. Here is the results..

Juices about to be seperated.

Slice flat.

Nice and flexible

Point went back on the grate for a couple of hours at about 250ish. I chopped it when I got back home. Will make some killer sandwiches. I added a little of the juices after it was chopped.

How's that for a money shot?

See the time it rested in the cooler for me to swing by your place did good. I drank 2 beers while you added freon to my truck and cut down some angle iron into 8 pieces for me. Man I had a rough day...

Thanks again!

That is some good looking brisket. I'll have to try John Henry's new brisket mix.

Wow, good looking brisket there Thillin. You kept the point for yourself? Hmmm...at my brother's house there would be questions about that move.

Unfurtuinately not.:tsk: My FIL is in town all week and I'll be too busy working to cook anymore. He'll probably eat more of it than me.:shocked:

Looks really good. Wish we could get Choice for $1.67 around here.

 

[Shiz-Nit]

BTW. My injection base was a can of beef broth and no other liquids. Yet there was over 2 cups of liquid in the pan when finished.
