Smoking a Brisket Today

[MaxCohen216 514]

Today, I'm smoking a 15-lb prime grade whole packer brisket from Wild Fork. This brisket is better than any I've ever bought from Costco. It has very uniform fat marbling throughout.

 

Dry brined with kosher salt for 36 hours, coated with a simple rub (black pepper, granulated garlic), and is now on the smoker over charcoal and oak wood chunks. Oak goes well with beef.

 

Should be about a 15 hour cook.

 

I tried to upload pictures, but it's not as easy here as it is on other web sites.

Brisket is one of a few meats I have yet to smoke. (Had smoker fo 30& years) Let us know how it turns out.

Nice. Sounds like it'll be delicious.  I've only done one brisket and should do it more often.
