Nothing fancy, but I figured I'd do nice long cook for George's birthday. I had a 4.5 LB brisket piece in the freezer that I picked up on sale. This was my first brisket cook and made for a fun day of tending to the grill.
Brisket went on early with Meathead's Big Bad Beef rub. MY workhorse 2009 performer with a 2x2x1 snake and pecan chunks got the call.
Cooked it on the performer at about 225-250. Used the Texas crutch when it hit 150, about 4 hours later. Then ran it up to 200 after about 7.5 hours. Finally into the cooler to rest for an hour. Here is the final result.
And the plated pic for George with broccoli and an au gratin potato ball.
Overall a fun cook. The brisket came out well but was a little dry. It was a good starting point for future brisket cooks though.
