Title: Tornado Brisket
Post by: hikerman on November 17, 2013, 06:18:27 PM
I found a 3lb piece of brisket at the store Friday and thought I could cook it in the pellet grill this weekend,in spite of the called-for weather, rain possible T-storms. On Sat. night I injected it with about 2/3 C beef broth with a tsp onion powder and a tsp FS&B.
I then rubbed the brisket with FS&B and put in refrig. until this a.m. It was a fairly warm morning with a light mist of rain falling, so I thought I could pull this off, but then the tornado warnings started and things got bad.Tornados were sighted in several towns in our county. A town 60 mi. away got hit really bad, Washington,IL. In fact a sign saying Washington,IL was found in the town just south of us. That sign flew 50 miles to Streator,IL!
   Well this had to be an oven brisket. I put about 3 T of liquid smoke on the fat top foiled and threw in oven until IT of 190F. I scraped the fat off and back in fridge until it firmed up, a couple hours. Sliced, doused in BBQ sauce, refoiled and cooked at 375 for 25 min. It was served with cheesy potato casserole, and a broccoli slaw. The brisket was pretty tasty and tender, under the circumstances it was a great meal. We hope the best for those affected by these storms.

Looks good Gene and glad your safe!!! The storms came through here about 5:40 and they blew the sirens a half dozen times. Luckily I don't think it was too bad here in Wapak & hope all are OK in the surrounding area. After all was clear we had salmon patties, leftover pasta and a salad. I'll trade you! Don

Thank you everyone for your kind words concerning our safety. Fortunately we are fine and no major damage but many folks not too far from us have been devastated. We are waiting to see when we can pitch in and help. So much of life is taken for granted.


Glad you were kept safe and what a great way to adapt.
