I keep seeing those prime briskets at Costco.  Not sure how long I can resist even though it is just the two of us and she doesn't eat much...

Is it like a 12-14 hr deal?  At 250?   I would sure like to try one.

Fun as heck.  I can't wait to see how you like it.  Doesn't have to be perfect neither.  If it is edible it is a success!

rhe thing about briskets is its a smoking challenge, brisket are so... what the word, fibrous of connecting tissue within the meat, it takes alot to do it it right and if yuv done it right their awesome! this is my first, injected and put a treager brand coffee rub on it. i just pulled it after 12 hrs of low temp smoking, internal temp was 205, now its resting.

Too bad Rebs and RH aren't here to witness your first brisket.  How many pounds was it?

So was it juicy Jeff?  That is what I worry about.  Ending up with a over done dry chunk of meat. 
Title: Re: first brisket!!
Post by: Boar on May 05/17/20, 05:20:50 PM

Next week I’ll be smoking a full packer brisket. I normally do briskets in my Cookshack, but I bought a Pit Barrel Cooker last year, so I’m going to give that a try. I’ll try and post the cook.

I've wanted to do that, looking at the briskets at Costco.  Not sure what I would do with all that meat.   Does it freeze?   Or maybe I could cut it in half and only do half at a time..
Title: Re: first brisket!!
Post by: LPS on May 05/19/20, 01:07:21 PM
I have wondered that too.  Would be fun to do a big piece of meat but it is only the two of us.  Would have to freeze it and then use it later.  Maybe in meal sized pkg vac packs. 
Title: Re: first brisket!!
Post by: mike89 on May 05/19/20, 01:12:33 PM
if it's to big cut into usable sizes, and yes it can be froze...  I know a fella who has a BBQ truck and hr freezes his extras....

inhad my brisket cut into 2 pieces, it was a 15 lb brisket. and by the time the one half was done, it was half the size from when ot was raw. so theirs shrinkage. half a brisket would give 2 and great meal with leftovers for a day or two. slice it for a french dip sand which or fajitas or phylli cheesensteak

If 7 or 8 pounds of meat does you and her meal for a couple days, y'all eat way more than we do...

Ya, The edible yield of a whole packer brisket (untrimmed) is 45-50%. In addition to what Boar mentioned, you can cut the point from the flat during the wrap, and make burnt ends. You can find whole briskets in the 8-10 lb. weight.
