What R U Eating ? ~OGH wants to know.....

I made a brisket last weekend but didn't take any pictures. Best one I've ever made, bar none. Going to have an Oktoberfest cookout with another full packer and a whole pork shoulder... Get your tickets today.
What'd you run the brisket with, what internal temp did you pull it at? Was it the thick part or the thin part?

I used hickory on the brisket, the ribs were apple.

My temp gauge was broken but I can tell my feel it was around 205... More or less. Once it hits 200-205 it's usually about the right time to pull it and let it rest. Sometimes they need to be a few degrees higher. You should be able to make slices pencil thick and hold them up and it should hold together but a slight pull from the other end makes it fall apart.

The flat is the lean/thin part, the point is the thick fatty part. The latter is where you get your burnt ends. They usually sell flats by themselves or all together with the point (full packer brisket).

1/2 cracked pepper
1/2 salt
1/2 garlic powder

The pepper is important to get a crust, salt is too. You'll need a sprayer to keep it moist then wrap as soon as you get the deep mahogany color on the outside. I usually spray with something that has some sugar content to let it darken the color.
 
Heck of a meal haul for work!

Its interesting the different meals the average BB"er eats everyday and at work . It can be a challenge sometimes but I think the bottom line is to start with a high protein main course and go from there . Your type of job for the day depends on if you can get away with a low carb meal or if you need to carb up for the days task .
Some jobs dont go well with Keto . ;)
