Title: Saturday Brisket on my New Toy
Post by: HighOnSmoke on October 18, 2014, 07:19:48 PM
This is an 8.5 pound choice brisket that I injected yesterday with a combo of Better than Bouillon,
Worchestire, and Low Sodium Soy Sauce.  I seasoned it with Fine Swine and Bovine and Smokin
Guns Hot rub.  Wrapped and placed in the refrigerator until this morning.  This morning I gave it
another dose of Smokin Guns Hot and covered both sides with Montreal Steak seasoning.

Put onto my 22.5 WSM at 225 using water in the pan, with a few chunks of cherry and pecan
wood.  I put it on the WSM at 7:30 AM.

At the 4 hour mark the WSM was within 5 degrees of what my Maverick was reading at grate
level.  WSM showed 225, Maverick was 230.

Nice thin blue smoke coming out of this awesome cooking machine.

At 6:00 PM it was 198 and probed like butter throughout.  I will be wrapping it in double foil and rest it
for the next hour.

Plated with some homemade macaroni salad. Yep I know it has peas and olives in it, but we like them.  ;)
I made sure that I got Pappy's and Muebe's share of both!  ;) ;D

Not sure if I cut with or against the grain. I notched a corner than lost it in the cooking.  I did cut the point
off and will be using that for something else.  Moist, tender, good bark and just the right amount of smoke
flavor.  My day is done!  ;)

It looks really good Mike. Cherry and pecan are a nice flavor combo for smoke.
