small scale Barrister Brisket

[OldUsedParts]

Decided to do a small brisket on the Pellet Pooper using some of the things that Counselor did on Sunday. The final results were "tender with perfect flavor" HOWEVER, being a very very lean cut, it was too dry for my taste BUT the wiffy said it was the best lunch she'd had
in a long long time. I'll bet the drip bucket didn't have a tblsp of grease in it.

When I went to the shop at 5AM to get the Pit Boss ready to start cooking, the Pellet Patrol Puss was looking at me with those eyes that say "Do you have any idea what time it is?"

While the Pit Boss was starting up and getting ready I got the "tiny" brisket ready with some homemade rub - - - it had been marinating in Honey Mustard all night so the rub stuck very nicely.

6AM - - cats are fed and Pellet Pooper is ready for the challenge.

low and slow on either side of 225 for 5 hours then a brown bag wrap (thanks Capt'n)

back on at 250 - 300 for 2 and half more smoke filled hours then pulled, rested and sliced

plated with some brussel sprouts and taters

Barrister brisket. I like it!

I'd eat it too!

OUP starting to get the brisket thin down. Glad to hear you're still going after it.

I've never marinated one so I don't know what that would do to a brisket.

Sounds to me like if you do a full packer now you'll have what you like and what the wifey likes!

Lol, good stuff oup, your cat is the dead spit of mine, well he's not mine , but he's taken up residence under my decking outside my French doors looking out to my backyard. I call him Soxy because of his white feet. Wife never ackowledged him for a year, now she says , oh there's some leftover meat here, give it to the cat,lol. He appears at my back door at 8.30 every night.

Looks good Sir Nice color and smoke ring. Did you check the internal temp when you took it off the smoker?
I would recommend injecting a brisky that size just to help keep it moist. Then again I tend to inject 90% of the briskets that I cook

I was thinking the same thing re: injection.

Sir Ric, it was 204 I.T. when I yanked it.

Thanks, Gents, I was totally surprised at the outcome BUT don't know if I'll be doin a'nutter any time soon - - - too much cook time for me - - - I wouldn't mind injecting one as long as it's not beef broth

RUSS, Puss's name is Mo Mo aka Domino. When we moved here in 2012 I walked out back around 4:30am one morning with the flashlight just checking things that hadn't gotten put away yet and MO MO (fresh weaned kitten) walked out of the woods starving and scared to death - - - he hadn't been off the teet to long so he jumped on that dry food and the next morning he was waiting on me - - - put the food down and rubbed him between the ears and we've been bestest friends ever since.

Nice way to get anew pet,lol. My fella is a bit shy , I haven't patted him yet, I just let him do his thing. He's definitely getting friendlier though. Nice to see him at the window at night.

we have two that come inside and eat and nap but never all night and one old beat up prowling Tom, named Smokey, that you only pet one time and if you're lucky the 'lesson learned' wounds won't bleed that much

How smoking a brisket turned into a cat thread is about right 'round my house too (or was). My male cat Jax would always follow me out to Q. He hid on and under the pit cover.

that'll work

Lol, our last cat Minnie was an awesome cat, she sat in garden every day around 4.30 when I got home, followed me everywhere. And I mean everywhere. Hurt like heck when we had to put her down, blind , no bowells control. Had her cremated in scattered in the garden she loved to sit in.
Sorry for sidetrack.
