Second Brisket Ever

Beertooth · Posted: Nov 15 2010 Post subject: Second Brisket Ever

Well after a friend at work was talking about brisket the other day, I started getting a hankering. I picked up a not quite six pound flat as my victim.

I gave it a bath overnight in red wine, Worcestershire sauce,
a few pepper corns, some garlic & onion powder,
a little olive oil, a squirt of lemon juice
& probably a couple things I forgot about. Laughing

I took it out the next morning. It seems
to have sucked up some of the yummy
goodness!

I rinsed it off and gave it a good rub with
Big Ron's In The House & a few other things.

Right now it is still relaxing in it's nice warm
smoke bath. A little black walnut & a little cherry.

Here it is at about 12 noon. Roughly three hours in.

More pictures when it's done. Hopefully it comes out good.

It is definitely off to a good start. Not sure why it wouldn't finish just as good...

Looks like you have a winner in the making beertooth!

Black walnut and cherry, that sounds like a great combination.

Looking forward to some finished pics.

what internal temp did you pull it?

Beertooth · Posted: Nov 15 2010 Post subject:

RollinontheRvr - Thanks!

killswitch - Thanks! Sounds like a good time. Smile

Charlie - Thanks, it came out good!

TB - Here is what I found on one site:

Uncle John · Posted: Nov 15 2010 Post subject:

Beertooth - Looks wonderful. That ought to make some great sammiches. Never thought (or had the opportunity) to use black walnut. How do you like it? What would you compare it to?

killswitch - I was at the caverns a few weeks ago with my son, daughter n law, and 3 month old grandson. The baby had gas and it is amazing how far a baby's fart can echo through the cavern. Shocked

Maybe 1/4 mile. And before you ask, yes it was the baby and not me.

Shaymus - Your signature avatar is hypnotizing.
