11 lb Smokin-It brisket
« Reply #-1 on: July 19, 2013, 09:13:51 PM »
Did an 11-pound brisket Sunday.  I used a beef rub recipe that has finely ground coffee (espresso grind), and it turned out really good.  I smoked it for about 4 1/2 hours, then foil-wrapped it until an internal temp of 195.  I used cherry and hickory in the box, which gave a really good flavor to the meat.

I didn't do anything special to the meat, other than a good mustard/dry rub, and wrapped in the fridge for about 15 hours before smoking.  Easy cook, with good results!

Next time, I'm going to try injecting the meat just to shake it up a bit!  Even without injection, this one was really tender and juicy!

(I apologize to anyone offended by the shoddy slicing job in the pics; it was really tender and hard to slice, and I've since purchased a really good carving knife with a Granton blade! 8)

No apology required - that looks fantastic. It is so juicy looking I just want to get it on some bread and let it soak in!

With briskets, injection is moisture "insurance".  They are notorious for frequently coming out dry, even if tender enough.  When you use an injection, be careful not to go overboard with flavoring it.  The "beefiness" of the meat is one of its greatest assets and can be easily overridden by too much seasoning in the injection.

Maybe the shoddy slicing was due to the brisket being so tender and moist  :)   Nice job.

As long as it tasted good, perfect slices don't matter IMO.  I have eaten too many picture perfect slices of brisket that were dry as heck.

That's it, Smoke!  It was very tender.  Could have easily pulled it instead.  I still want to do one of your 20-hour pulled briskets, though!
