Good looking brisket Jack! I haven't done a brisket in a long time, need to do one.

Ed, maybe for a retirement gift someone will send me a Kobe beef packer from Idaho Farms or wherever that place is.  Otherwise, I'll be lookin' for the 5 lb flats we have locally.  I haven't seen a tri tip here either.

We ate some of this brisket for dinner today.  The rest of it - and there was a lot left - we vac-sealed and put in the freezer for one of those weekends when its raining and the wood is wet.

I took about 3 slices to my neighbor who does competition cookin'...he verified the taste and tenderness portion even though he had to eat it off a paper plate (that took away points).

Yes, Ed, the gratification factor is pretty high this weekend.  After watching your comeback from hip surgery, I'm sure you are feeling it too.  I'm glad to know you are doing so well.

Jaxon you don't have any local butchers in your area?

Even our Wal-Mart out here in California can get a full packer...

I didn't say I couldn't find a packer...
I'm saying I'd rather buy the smaller portions because they are easier to cook and a lot less trouble.
8 to 10 hours is a long time to spend with the smoker...I can't imagine being out there for 12 to 16 hours, even as much as I enjoy the time out back. That would really take the enjoyment away.
I like playing golf - but I wouldn't want to play 3 rounds in a day.
Now, if someone gave me a huge packer for retirement, I would be obliged to do my best to cook it right no matter how long it takes.
B T W, I am retiring in January...

Just sayin '...

How hot can you get your smoker?  You should be able to do a hot and fast packer (275-300) in less than 10 hours.  Either that or split the packer in half and freeze half of it for a future cook.  Too much goodness to be passing up the point, and the prices of packers are so much better by the lb...

P.S. Congrats on your coming retirement!

A flat no where near comes out as good as a flat from a full packer. You will be amazed once you try one. And the point is worth the effort alone.

As Billy stated a 270F smoke will probably get your average sized packer done in 9 hours.

Anything not eaten can be vac sealed and frozen for later.

Way to go, Jaxon. That brisket looks good. Congratulations on your upcoming retirement. I would be happy to play golf with you after you retire because I'm always looking for marks players to engage in the friendly game of skins golf. I'll even play left handed.I gotta put my clubs back in the trunk for the next time I come through your area. Practice up.
