Need your help. Brisket

[Ætheling]

Yep don’t need any instructions on how to mess them up

Briskets are tough to learn man but once you get it right its like riding a bike. Ive never used a pellet grill before so I am sure it has its own uniques factors to learn like direct heat and small space. I can make a mean brisket on the offset but would probably destroy one in your rig. To save money try buying a cheaper brisket till you get it down. I came up on choice and select briskets and I can make a select brisket moister than an oyster. Leave more fat on it and it will come out real good. Good luck on the next one!

Oh just for ****s and grins if you have an infrared gun or other thermometer it might be worth seeing if your grills thermometer is on point. Could be that you have it on a certain temp and its pushing out something much hotter. I have gotten to where I know my chamber gauge reads 25 degrees off.

Also, even though I use a water pan I also wrap after the stall. Your next one will be g2g.

Didn’t wrap it.

I don’t own a pellet grill so take this for what it’s worth… I’d try a water pan next time and/or wrap it. Seems to me those pellets would create a very dry heat. When I open my smoker I can feel the moisture in the air hitting me in the face.

So I gather that using a water pan won’t hinder achieving a good bark? In my sausage making and smoking experience a wet casing and moisture will inhibit the sausage taking the smoke.

I’ve never used a water pan when smoking meat other than when I used a offset and smoking turkey.

OP did you wrap it when it hit 165 or the stall temp and then finish cooking wrapped? Sounds like you cooked it all the way to 200’ish and then pulled and wrapped.

No wrap until pulled.

No wrap until pulled.

Which works on a stick burner.

The color and texture of the OP’s meat reminds me of why I don’t do brisket on my drum.

I agree. I could certainly make it work...even if I need a cleaver and the aujus or BBQ sauce


oh wait there is no aujus because he didn't wrap.

Communist! If you put bbq sauce on my brisket you can find your way out of my house!


Nailed another one. Recteq is the bomb.

I know that's cool and all to say....but when its dry and must be chopped you go into CPR mode.

Yes sir and lots of it lol

[trophy8]

No good pics. I was ready to hammer it. Weird transition on this one. Had grain going 3 ways and I said f it I’m ready to eat so I chopped that small section however. Turned out great for the first smoke on my recteq 590. Great smoke ring!

[Burntorange Bowhunter]

My spatchcock chickens turned out great. The Dr Pepper Easter ham fell apart and the crockpot borracho beans are amazing.

No rabbit chow, injecting or easy bake oven. Lol.
