Nice grillin JT! Can't wait to see them ribs, and nope don't mind a bit if you post in here, I encourage it.
I was in no condition to be posting pics up in here last night! Too many beers, too many happy confections.
Ok, so that brisket took way way longer than I wanted. It must have been because my temps were all over the place. At 12 hours in the smoker I was still only at 165F degrees and was too shitfaced to keep tending the smoker so I pulled the brisket off and stuck it in the oven until it reached 180 degrees, and at this time it was 10pm, so I wrapped rested it for about an hour and cut it up. Finally was able to feed our drunk asses at 11pm.
It was a little chewy, definitely not as tender as one would like, but it didn't matter, it was delicious! Sooo freaking good. The knife cut right through it like it was nothing. Also I got a nice bark, which I didn't think was going to happen!
I'd say I was about 85% successful first go at a brisket.
Some poppers while we wait....
Ohhh shoot
I can't say I'll be doing another brisket any time soon. That is a lot of freaking work.
Well there you have it. Hey, at least I remembered and took clear pictures. It almost didn't even happen.
