First Brisket
Posted: August 21st, 2016, 9:31 pmFirst Brisket this weekend on YS640.
Bought 13lb Prime packer brisket from Costco. Trimmed out to 10.5lb, salt and pepper rub overnight and placed on top rack of smoker at 5:30am at 235 with hickory. Reached 165 with good bark after 5.5hrs. Wrapped in pink butcher paper and placed on lower rack and increased temp to 245. Stalled for 2 hrs and finished at 3:55pm when internal reached 200 and probe went in very easy. Set in cooler until 5:30pm - separated the point and cut up the flat. Fork tender and only the very thin ends shredded when I cut it. Tasted great and can't wait for the next one. 12hrs door to door.
