I wanted to try a brisket to trial using this cooker and method ….
Picked up this whole brisket at Costco. The label has "whole" on it, but the point is about the size of a pancake …
Not much fat to trim.
Brisket was just over 8 lbs before applying a Worcestershire slather, then SPG at a 3:3:1 ratio (based on
volume not weight).
Going on after a pre-heat. Used hickory for smoke.
It settled into the range of 275-300℉.
After 2.5 hours or so, I checked the IT and got a reading around 160℉. I decided to double-wrap in HD foil.
After just over 6 hours, I removed it. I had over-shot my IT and was getting readings around 210℉ ….
Into a cooler wrapped in towels to rest. Took it out after about 1.5 hours to slice for supper.
There was not a pronounced smoke ring, but I have found with hot and fast, that there tends to be less of one.
And, yes, I do understand that there will be no smoke ring when wrapped in foil ….
Not a big deal, as the brisket was delicious!
I do not intend on cooking brisket this way all the time. I do prefer it done a little slower …
However, it is nice to know that I can haul this Outrider wherever and cook-up tasty food other than burgers and dogs.
