Tender brisket
I'm don't do award winning TX bbq, but I would like to know how to do
a basic brisket, properly. Last time I tried (ECB), it came out looking good, but was on the dry side. This with lump, 200-225F, 10-12 hrs. I forget if pt or flat. While I'm currently between rigs, I have access to a Traeger pellet Q, this weekend, and would like to do a successful brisket. Brisket is mucho expensive, here in the CO Rockies (remote), but it matters not. Must have beef!! All advice welcome. nb |

That starts to happen at about 160 degrees. When the internal temperature is 190 to 192 it is done. If very fatty, you can go a little higher. I smoke mine at about 250 degrees. I use a full packer cut and trim the fat to about 1/4" thick. If you are doing a trimmed flat, it can easily dry out. If that is all you can get, lard it by laying some fat on top. |
