Title: Brisket in the WSM
Post by: Las Vegan Cajun on September 23, 2014, 11:29:53 PM
Started setting up the WSM at 10:00am, brisket was on at 10:30am.
(http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n615/ramelancon/b7d22e0e13a7ebbddd42f742ae53a3a1.jpg)

Was able to hold the temps on the WSM between 260-290F.  Four hours later at 2:30pm the IT was 165F.

Wrapped with foil and back on the WSM.

At 4:00pm IT was 200F and it passed the toothpick test, so it was FTM time for a couple of hours.

At 6:00pm it was unwrapped and sliced for dinner.  Very juicy as I sliced it and the pull test was the best I have ever accomplished on a brisket.

I think I'm going to like this method of doing a brisket on the WSM.  :D

I've never tried just the flat (that's what your looked like to me).  Looks like a great cook and it's great to be able to get it done is such a short time.  My packers usually take 10-11 hours in the WSM.  The with the resting period, I'm looking at 12-13 hours.

Going to have to give this a try.

It is just the flat, I was in Sam's Club looking at the packers and I don't see how I could fit a whole packer in a 18.5 WSM, so I went with the flat cut instead.  I may have to try a packer in my PBC.

No, I agree, I don't think there would be any way to fit a packer, even a smaller one (I've seem them under 10 lbs. at Sams) in the 18.5.

Yours definitely looks like a winner, though!

If you drape  brisket ( or rib slabs ) over something like a 3 lb coffee can it will fit on a smaller surface

I agree to a point, the packers I was looking at in Sam's Club were about 3 foot long.  If I was to bend one that long in a 18.5 WSM it might be hitting the top of the lid.   Of course I could use the lower grate to clear the lid but that would be one helleva bend. Believe me I thought of that when I was looking at them but these packers were much bigger than my 18.5 WSM could handle.  Looks like I'm going to be in the market for another cooker soon.  ;D

I recently added a PBC to my outdoor kitchen, so far I have done chicken and ribs in it, great results too.  I will have to try the whole packer in it also. ;)

And wouldn't you know it, yesterday I was in Sam's Club and they were out of whole packer's, they had flats only.   :(

Will have to go back another day, or go over to COSTCO, and get me one.  ;)

Recently, I've had trouble getting Full Packers at Sam's.

Two cooks ago, my usual Sam's only had a 9 pounder and one that was almost 20 lbs.  I kept checking and the finally got more in four days later.

This last cook, my usual Sam's didn't have any and the meat manager said that he hadn't seen one come off the truck in almost a week.  They were even able to check and the truck taht was coming in the next morning didn't have one either.  I called the other two local stores and did find a store with some.  They only had two, fortunately one of them was right at 15 lbs., the size I like to cook in competition.

Hub turned me on to a place called Restaurant Depot that, hopefully, is a more consistent supplier.  I'm planning tho check them out soon.

I'm defiantly inspired by everyones great cooks here, some serious eats, and at the same time a bit daunting to come close to this level of perfection !

Well done to everyone, even the photos are better than you think !!!!
