Title: Brisket - 5th time's a charm?
Post by: PongGod on May 26, 2014, 09:53:11 PM
Trying to learn the nuances of cooking a good brisket as a new PBC owner has been a bit of a wild ride for me over the past couple of months, but I think the persistence combined with the patient advice from the Glanvilles, is finally making it all come together. Had about a dozen guests over at the house today and my wife was so nervous about the food since I've had such inconsistent results recently with brisket that she already had concocted a Plan B. Well, much to her relief, the brisket was a big hit! I also supplemented the meal with two whole chickens (which came out very juicy) and a crock pot full of chicken and sausage jambalaya (sorry PBC, you don't get any credit for this one).

Alright, here's your food porn, fellas...

Nice looking brisket! I am going to try my first one on the PBC on Sunday. I had a few questions about the cook. How many pounds was the brisket? Also how long before you wrapped and what was the total cook time?

Thanks

Sorry, I don't remember the exact weight, but I think it was probably in the 9-10 pound range. Due to the recent adjustments I made (from phone conversations with the company owners), I was able to get the internal temp up to 150 in only two hours (much faster than any of my previous efforts). It stalled there for awhile and I eventually took it off to wrap in foil after about 3 hours and 15 minutes. After wrapping and returning to the PBC, the temperature began rising very quickly and was already to 213 in another hour and 15 minutes so I removed it, wrapped the whole bundle in towels and placed in my cooler to rest for over two more hours. It doesn't necessarily need to rest this long, but I wanted to hold it until we had some guests coming over to the house and it was finished earlier than I expected. Wrapped like this, I'm sure it can stay warm for even much longer.
