It's been a very long time since I've cooked a brisket. Never cooked one with charcoal either. I picked up this Weber Smokey mountain a couple months ago, for free!
This thing was an absolute filthy mess when I picked it up. The water pan was full. Not of water or anything wet, just full of dried old grease, fat, and mold. But, after an hour of cleaning and scraping yesterday, it looked almost as good as new!
So today we're cooking a brisket flat (flats were all Costco had when my wife went to pick something up the other day). I wanted to cook low and slow and keep temperature around 225 but can't get it lower than about 275. I probably dumped too many lit coals in at the beginning.
Two hours in right now and the meat is already up to 150. I guess that shouldn't bee too much of a surprise considering its just the flat so kind of thin. Still looking good tho.
These pics are at first setup.
