Victory! Feel like I got my man card back after my ribs yesterday
Third brisket in my life. First packer. Found a small 7.5 pound Prime at Costco. I was trying to follow the Aaron Franklin technique.
Simple salt, pepper and garlic. No injecting. Put on the Mak running 250 degrees. Mak ran hotter on the upper rack, more like 275 degrees. Also ran a tube of pellets for a few hours.
This took about 7 hours total I think. Wrapped in butcher paper at about 180 degrees.
Passed the moisture test very well. Nice bark. Did not pass the pull test.
Most of the fat rendered well from the deckle. Was happy about that.
Dessert courtesy of my 12 year old Ava.
