First packer brisket of 2018

michaelmilitello · January 27, 2018, 04:48:02 AM

I managed to find my first prime brisket thanks to a friend with a Costco membership. It went on the wsm at 3:30 am. It's cruising @250 F and in the stall @ 160 F IT.

Stayed tuned. Nothing like a brisket to liven up a cold Indiana morning.

What size is the wsm

That looks great. I have a Costco membership but have not tried a prime brisket yet. I've only made choice. I'm interested to know how you think it compared to choice.

In fact, the only briskets I have cooked are gfs choice.

Are you cooking under Roof with this rain we are having?

Yes. My WSM is on my front porch. It's closed on three sides and faces east, so I have great wind and weather protection. Everything around it is brick and concrete, so low hazard risk.

A covered area would be great. There have been many times i haven't used the wsm due to the threat of rain. Those days I use a kettle instead. They chug through the rain.

Agreed. The wsm can deal with a light rain but not a heavier downpour.

Turned out great. I could tell a difference in prime vs choice.
