The job: 16 lb brisket packer & 9 racks of St. Louis spares. Big family party that I want to nail this cook for. WSM 22. Ideally would like to have the cook wrapped up and be on the road by 11:00am Saturday morning. Need to transport meat about 45 minutes across town.
The plan: Gonna put the brisket on Friday evening for a low & slow overnight cook. Shooting to cook at 250 using hardwood lump. Gonna inject with beef broth / worcestchire mix. Gonna wrap after bark has set, and put into a foil pan to finish cooking. Main purpose for this is catch as much of the aus jus that I hope turns out like liquid crack as it has for me in the past. Been a coupla years since I've done it this way, but that's what I'm shooting for.
Planning on getting the brisket off the smoker by about 7am. I can finish the brisket in the oven if time constraints become an issue. Gonna separate the point & flat. Let the flat rest down to about 160, then wrap and throw into the faux cambro. Gonna add some more fuel to the cooker up to about 280 or so. At this point, will throw the spares onto the smoker using rib racks.
Gonna cube up the point, toss in sauce and throw a bit more rub on. Then back on the smoker while the ribs are cooking.
Hoping to pull the ribs about 10:00 - 10:30. Will rest ribs for a bit, then foil and into coolers for the ride.
Then pull burnt ends, throw into foil pan, cover, and into the cambro for the ride.
Upon arrival, gonna slice up the bones and cover to keep warm until serving.
Gonna set up a carving station and slice brisket flat to order for sammiches so it stays hot & moist.
Anyone see any issues with this plan or have any suggestions to improve it? Any & allrecimmendtions appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
FM
