Title: Southfork Brisket on the Pit Barrel Cooker
Post by: smokeasaurus on November 24, 2012, 02:51:26 PM
In honor of Larry Hagman and the great character he played as J.R. Ewing, me and Sagebrush Smoochy are doing a Southfork Brisket tomorrow.

Couldn't find a more appropriate seasoning for the Southfork Brisket!!

This 18 lb bad boy is all seasoned for an overnight rest. The Pit Barrel Cooker will take care of the rest tomorrow!!

Forgot the pic of the briskie all trimmed!! I was being a moron and was cutting towards my hand and hacked right into my index finger all the way to my cuticle.....OUCH!!!  But in the spirit of BBQ and being a moron I used super glue and the bleeding stopped!! Checked today, no infection so gotta be more careful when cutting and trimming  ???

Smoke my Chargriller Kamodo "likes to run 275-300F" same temp as the pit barrel.
I find no disadvantage &. Several advantages or cooking at higher temp

Most of the time he goes by Smoochy or Smooch...he likes the handle Pit Barrel Smoochy as well....but when we do a briskie...he is Sagebrush Smoochy........(but deep down he is just a tenderfoot!!)  ;D :D

After just over 3 hours the Southfork Briskie has reached 159 internal and the stall is approaching so I decided to remove the brisket from the re-bar and place it on the cooking grate (remember fellow PBC'ers to put the re-bar back in even when using the cooking grate!!)

No crutch......want some bark!!!!!

I remember how disappointed you were when I foiled that pork butt a couple of weeks ago.....come to think of it, I missed the bark on that butt as well so no foil!!

Smoke, do you buy your briskets at Smart & Final? Every time I go there, I only see select, but once in a great moon I'll see a choice.

Turned the brisket once when it reached 185 internal and just now pulled it off with an internal of 195 (plus the probe slipped in like warm butter)

Total cook time for a trimmed 18 lber:   5 hours and 40 minutes.  Got some bark on there Muebe!! The Dallas rub has a brown sugar base so I new this bad boy would bark up!!   She is taking a rest before slicing.......
