Bull 1st Brisket

[ryk1]

I’ve had my Bull for a month now and decided today was the day for brisket. Everything I have cooked so far has been amazing. I am at the 4 hour mark and so far so good!

Patience is all I can say other than it looks really nice. How big?

Started as an 11 pounder, before trimming.
Paper wrapped at 6 1/2 hours.
Now it’s time to wait, drink, wait, drink. LOL

I feel like a little kid on Christmas Eve waiting to open the presents.

13 hours and it’s finally probe tender. 2 more hours to rest and then it’s time to dig in.

Dinner is served! I can’t believe the smoke ring and how juicy it is. I love my Bull!!!

 

[Stlsbc]

looks great. What temp did you cook at?

 

[Waterboy]

@ryk1 that looks awesome. Glad your first brisket turned out so good. I have struggled on my drum smoker but have never had a problem getting it right on the Rec Teq.

What sauce is that on the brisket?

 

[ryk1]

Thank you! It tasted amazing!

235 degrees for the first 6 1/2 hours.
Wrapped in butcher paper
250 degrees for the last 6 1/2 hours

The sauce is a mustard sauce I make.
Yellow mustard
Apple Cider Vinegar
Worstershire Sauce
Hot sauce
Minced garlic
Salt
Fresh ground pepper
Honey
I don’t measure anything, so unfortunately I can’t say how much I put in of each item. I just add and taste until I like it.
I put everything in a pan on the stove on a medium high heat and stir and taste. Once it get hot, I take it off of the heat and let it cool.

This is the most important Step 2 in the history of step 2's!

 

[ryk1]

Absolutely!!!

Nice! I did my first one last weekend. Amazing.

Looks great!

That's a heck of a smoke ring for 235-250. I can't get that unless I have it on 180 for a while or put some pellets on the diffuser.

Same here. I started mine about 2200 hours and ran at 200 `xtreme smoke' for about 3 hours there and when I went to sleep, kicked it up to 225. Long cook.... nice smoke ring and amazing flavor at the end.

I was surprised at the smoke ring as well! It tasted absolutely wonderful. I can’t wait to do another!
