First brisket today
 

I know right? I have cooked a hundred if not 200 ribs, pork, beef, sausages, everything but never wanted to do a brisket. Sorry Texans, I have just never been too in love with them. I've had some awesome brisket, just never cared.

So instead of me doing it, I made a rub and let it marinate for 4 days (some shit came up, couldn't cook it when I first intended) and today I am making my 16 year old do it while I am at work. LOL I am using Mesquite, which I NEVER do anymore. I haven't used mesquite in years but I think it will compliment the rub pretty well. If it turns out good I'll give up the rub ingredients. Here's what 4 days of a rub looks like. :sigh:

2.3 lb

Start off smoker at 220*, looking for internals of 190*-195* and then wrap in aluminum foil until I get home. Guessing a 3-4 hour event. Making him start at 1PM (meat out of fridge at 12PM)

Good luck, I have a 10lb'er (small for me) I am doing, it gets marinated and injected tonight. But I smoke for about 15 hours when I do it.

the rub looks good to me :)

TEN POUNDS! That'd make lunch meat for a week for us! :jest:

It's interesting, lots of spices, complicated...it may not smoke well. It may cake on me. We shall see.:popcorn2:

theres not always a method to the madness. do whatever sounds good lol.

Im getting HUNGRY!!!!!

I wanna fix up a nice size brisket and cook it on the creek when the weather cools off..!!

i've never tried a brisket. they take too long and i'm not patient. how would one cook on my gas grill :jest:

:jest: I have tried so many times to beat the odds and cook long term shit on my gas grill. LOL definitely not very successful at it.

It looks like os going to taste delicious..

Gas grill?? Thought that was a Sin?

We use charcoal, hickory, or pecan.. its sooo much better!
