3/4" Vittles

[woodenvisions]

So after 9 hrs at 250 and a 2.5 hr rest, I was pleasantly rewarded with thick Brisket slices I could cut with a fork... I was expecting I would need to cut 1/8" slices just to make it edible but nope, I lucked out with a tender, juicy Brisket with a great bark. The only thing not present was the trademark smoke ring ?
I'm thinking I didn't use enough Pecan but that's ok. I'll take tender and juicy over the ring any day. IDK, maybe next time I'll go back to Mesquite ?
Anyways, I thought I'd share my success and failure before I hit the sack. I've been preparing food all weekend so we could vacuum pack it and freeze it for the next 2 weeks or so and I'm pretty spent.

Take care everyone

THE AKORN has SPOKEN - - - rang or no rang, Pal, that looks great - - - FWIW, I ?seem? to get better color on my "Q" with Mesquite.

Thx Emm !!

Yeah, I think it was a combination of 2 things.
Not using Mesquite ??..and too heavy on the rub ??
I think that made it too hard for the smoke to penetrate ??
I don't do enough of these so it's still somewhat foreign to me.

I'll take 3 or 4 slices for a sammich for lunch if you don't mind dropping them off!!

Can I get in line?

Chris and Sailor,

Unfortunately I already have those slices vacuum packed and resting in the freezer for future Brisket Sammiches on a toasted potato roll with Monterey and Shredded Cheddar..
AKA, Brisket Grilled Cheese Sammich :):)

There are few times I'm rendered speechless. THIS is one of them.
There just aren't proper words for me to express the awesomeness contained in these pictures.

Thank you Dragon, Thanks Russ. I owe most of the credit to 2 things.

Luck, and a good DSLR.

I was doing that cook blind pretty much with no temp probes to monitor anything.
I'm sure it was just a ( 1 off ) lol.
