Pretty good brisket

[Epsmith19]

Got a screaming deal on a brisket at Costco. 15 hrs on the smoke followed by a looong rest. Came out great

What? How did that happen... $6.00? Full packer... did you make some burnt ends? The best

Lol. Guessing that got typed in wrong as it says 1.32 lbs. USDA Prime is the only way I am able to smoke a brisket.

Yep. Thats exactly what happened. A Prime brisket smoked well is as good or better than choice or select smoked poorly. I've started using wagyu tallow at the wrap point...makes a big difference.

Having been an avid smoker in the past what's your setup? I've gone electric as it's just stupid simple and I can toss in wood chips, set the temp and the timer and go to sleep. Helpful on the 20 hours smokes of big pork shoulders. I haven't attempted brisket.

I have a pellet smoker. People shit on pellets but I can pump out some really good stuff from brisket to pork to chicken to prime rib and even use it for cheesecake. I can also smoke stuff during the week while I'm working without having to worry about keeping up a fire

yup! Same with my wood chip electric smoker. It's phenomenal and I can adjust the smokey flavor, as some like it really rich and some like it mild. I'm in the middle. I don't like it tasting like I'm eating charcoal. I have a masterbuilt electric smokehouse. Standing 4 rack smoker.

Wow, that looks delicious!

I don't eat brisket much, but it is probably my favorite bbq'd meat.

I do ribs on the gas grill, but haven't smoked anything.

I will be building a small outdoor kitchen area at the new house and am wondering what do y'all use for smoking brisket.

I use the rec tec 590. It's super versatile

RT-590 Pellet Grill

THIS AIN’T NO GAME. The RT-590 is sized for your family and priced for your wallet. If you find the RT-700 is too much grill for you, and the RT-340 is too small, the RT-590 is the perfect fit for any griller. At 592 square inches, there simply isn’t more bang for your buck anywhere at any...

I use a pellet “maze” in my p.o.s. garage sale electric smoker and I can let stuff smoke all day without worrying about adding chips. It’s completely eliminated my desire to buy something better.

I’ve never heard of this before. Looks like a great way to cold smoke fish. I’m going to have to try this.

I go to a meat market that sells waygu brisket, I pick up the flats from time to time as I rarely feed enough people for a packer, and if I am I cheap out and do pork shoulder. They waygu are around 4 lbs and I they most certainly are better. I put the flat in a aluminum pan with some beef broth after it hits 160 degrees and that seems to really help hold the moisture on the small lean cuts.

I had a electric wood chip smoker I got a steal on and I loved that as I could control the smoke, the temperature control was off though. I got a Traeger pellet smoker with WiFi now. It took me a bit to refine my techniques on that but I love it now.

They also have tubes for this purpose, and after having several of them, I would recommend getting the octagon shaped tubes so they don't roll around.

Cheese can also be cold smoked with those, although I don't bother until it gets closer to fall, since it's harder to limit the sun's effect on my grill, as well as ambient temp contributions
