One Bad Pron of a Brisket

[peppasawce]

Here is a Brisket cook that I did last night.. It is my first one ever..I took no photos of the prep, nor of the actual Smoking of it..All I have is the finished product..It is a big Packer..I used Salt, Black Pepper, Cumin, My own Homemade Chili Powder, and Ground Celery Seed just right for a brisket LOL.. i Smoked her for 12 Hours.. Although next time i will go for 10 I think I overcooked her a little..My Family has eaten their fair share this evening, and my youngest Son says that we don't ever need to go to any more BBQ Restaurants heheh.. And coming from him that's golden baby LOL :clap2::thumb:!! She held on to 235 degree temps for 10 hours or until 7:00am and that's when i went outside to shake the coals and get the Drum back up to 235..So, here she goes hope Ya ll like the bad photos I took..

bad pic?

There is no such thing as a bad picture of a smoked brisket. Nice smoke ring. It tasted as good as it looks I'm sure.

Nice on the brisket and great on the son's compliment. Don't you have a wife to help with the plating photos like Guerry.

Did you take the picture in a mirror? The Chiquita tag on the pineapple is backwards?

Otherwise, nice teksirb! :becky:

One comment on the cook, if you don't mind. You mentioned that it might have been overcooked. What was the internal temp when you pulled it out of the smoker, and how did the probe feel when it went into the meat? You really can't cook briskets or butts by time alone. Go mainly by feel if you can. The probe should go in like it is going into warm butter. That may happen at 185 internal temp or not until 200 internal temp, and at 10 hours or 12 hours, anywhere in between or even longer. As Smokin' Okie says, It is done when it is done!

BTW, I didn't know that Chiquita grew pineapples.

Looks great! I like the fruit for size comparison.

Sure looks better than my first brisket. I think most people would have considered mine as a "big chunk of coal"! It is probably still in the land-fill in Lakeland, FL from 23 years ago :redface:

OJT (on the job training) is the best way to the perfect meal!

Ahh man don't be so hard on yourself

Thanks. But for the first few years, whenever I decided to "smoke something for dinner", my wife quickly learned to have a back-up meal ready :shock: .
