I needed a Good Birthday present for my Step-Dad. He's one of those guys that if he want's it, he goes and gets it. Makes getting him things really hard. I know he has a thing for BRISKET. He goes to the locker plant and buys it in 1/2 pound packages. Last time I was at the locker plant he goes to I looked and they is getting over $13 a pound for cooked brisket. I know what He's getting this year for his Birthday. He's getting his own Brisket!!
I pulled a 12 pound Choice Brisket out of the freezer and thawed it out, trimmed it up a little, then went to looking for a rub to put on it. I decided to go with this

I rubbed the brisket down with a good heavy coat of rub.

Wrapped it in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for an overnight rest. This morning I pulled it out and fired up the Dragon Lady. I was going to use the Bradley but we have an EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING for today and I don't want to be outside anymore than I have to. I can see the Dragon Lady from the kitchen window.

Tossed the Brisket in set the Dragon Lady for 225 and let the games begin.

Not just too bad at all. Right at 6 hours and both the point and the flat are both at 187º. Time to pull it out and head for a little FTC time. Then it will be off to the fridge for an overnight nap until slicing tomorrow. Here we is coming out of the Dragon Lady

Killer Good Sparky. I have some of their Hickory Rub that I will be testing out on some ribs at the Smoke Out. Should be really good if it is anything like the brisket rub. If I remember right Kynola used it when he took Second in the Paducah Brisket cook off

I normally cut off what I'm eating the day of the cook, then I chill & slice the rest ( slices better when chilled)
-
LA I will be chilling and slicing all of it as it will be packaged and given as a Birthday gift on Thursday. Not gonna eat any of it, well maybe a small tidbit will go missing when I pull it out of FTC and send it off to the fridge. ;D
-
I haven't done a brisket in a while, this inspires me.
-
I was taking the brisket out of FTC and that end piece where the cut is just sort of FELL OFF. So I just had to slice it up for oh you know "Quality Control"!! That's my story and I am sticking to it!! Wouldn't You??

Zacks is good stuff. I have the Brisket rub, sweet rub, hickory rub, and grilling spice. YEAH, I like their stuff. It's made about 45 minutes from where I live so it's readily available in the supermarkets.
The grilling spice is All I use when making protein in the SRG ;D
