Well time for my first cook of the weekend. Rainy the first two days. Decided it was time to end the official end of summer holiday with a bang. making my first attempt at a brisket outdoors. Have done them numerous times in the oven, just no smoke heat.
Started with a 3 lb. chunk of nice looking point. Keep it simple and small for the first one. Started with a nice dry brine of Morton kosher salt. After two hours of dry brine, I mixed up the beef injection Meathead has posted. Along with the beef rub recipe. Inject a couple of ounces. Then a nice rub of the spices.
Prepped the performer with a 2x2 snake along one side. added 8 lit to the end of the fuse. Tossed on a small chunk of oak, and a small chunk of cherry on the first half spacing to keep even heat and smoke light. Added the brisket, a CI pan of beef tri tip chunks for stew, and a nice pot of beans under the brisket. A pan of water over the fire for moisture, diffusion, and temp control. Cooker is holding steady at 230 for 4 1/2 hours. So far my internal temp is 142.
Here are the prep pics. Will post bark development when it is at 150 and time for the Texas crutch.
