What’s on the grill/smoker today? 2021

Haha making me want to go get a costo membership
That’s exactly what I was thinking. The benefit I have is I live in a rural area and have friends that own a cattle farm, so we get all our meat from them. They don’t have any tomahawk steaks though.

Oh damn. I just spoke with our friends. They are getting me 2 on Thursday! Happy freakin 4th to me

First attempt at a packer brisket. The flat was a touch dry but the point was awesome! Flavor was perfect, really happy as far as first attempts go. 14 hours on the smoker, sadly only 1 hour rest before slicing.

Probe in the thickest part of the flat? What temp did you take it to?
Took it to 205, probed like butter all throughout the flat and point. But when I sliced it, the grains almost pulled apart, so I’m not sure if I went too far. I hear of people going to 210 with no trouble.

It wasn’t really dry, it just wasn’t as moist as I see most people when they post. Everyone thought it was great when I asked for honest feedback, but I just think I can do better.

ETA: That being said I’m open to all suggestions to improve.

Every brisket is a little different, but 203 max temp on flat not 205, big difference. Also make sure your probe isn't in the fat between the point and the flat. I usually leave a little more fat on the flat as well, helps with dryness.

Yeah, I was wondering if I trimmed it too much. It also probably didn’t help that I bought this on sale last fall and it’s been in the freezer.

Don't listen to him, Texans don't know anything about brisket.
