▲ 195 r/brisket
Dad and I smoked our first brisket for the 4th. How’d we do?
My dad and I decided to try and smoke a brisket for the first time, got a 18LB one from Costco, seasoned it with pepper and SPG using mayo as a binder for 12 hours.
Smoked it at 225, wrapped it in butcher paper at 165 and poured tallow on the paper. Then put it back in at 250 until it hit 190 and brought it back to 225 to finish. Probe was going in easily around 198. We let it rest for 15 hours in a warming oven at 150. Anything that could be better? It’s incredibly tender and full of flavor. We did a ton of research and I can’t help but feel like it paid off.
