Stampede Brisket on RT-590

What is your method of smoking brisket on the rec tec?

There are multiple threads in the forum about cooking brisket - tons of information. Have you read any of these and have questions? I'd suggest using the Search tool if you haven't already.

Second that suggestion. If you ask ten of us, it will be at least ten variations. There are some very good prior conversations on this topic.

Thanks, will try the search tool. New to the site.

No worries, Welcome to the club.

I was raised in TX, so I like central Texas style brisket.

I guess Franklin is now the king of brisket in TX, but it use to be Black's, Smitty's or Kreuz Market (all in Lockhart, TX....about 1/2 an hour south of Austin). I always liked Blacks better than the other two, but others prefer one of the other ones. They are all excellent though.

I use pretty much anything that's in the hopper now, but Oak is my favorite for Beef. I bought 100 lbs of Bear Mountain Gourmet pellets, and they are pretty good with everything.

Here's an interesting article on Franklin's way of doing it, and pretty easy to do. I've always kind of done it this way, but used to wrap in foil.

I too was intimidated by the mighty Brisket. I have cooked it twice, followed recipes here on this forum, smoke till stall, wrap till to temp, rest and enjoy!!!!
The 590 makes it easy and makes me look good!

There's really nothing specific about smoking a brisket on a recteq compared to most other smokers. The 590 runs a little hotter on the right side, so I put the thicker point toward the right, otherwise, you can use one of the thousands of brisket recipes available on the web.

Salt pepper garlic. Run a smoke tube and cook at 325 until 160. Boat up the brisket. Finish at 203. Cover up top of boat and let it ride for 3 or more hours at 180.

I'd make sure you recognize that there are 1000 roads leading to the finish, a good brisket. Find a method that works for you.

My only real suggestion is to learn/understand what "probe tender" is and I'd make sure you rest it.

Thanks, I had been wondering which side was hotter.

I have not been to Franklin's yet, but Blacks is definitely my favorite!

Me either, but if you don't get in line hours before they open...you ain't getting any.

Me....there very little on this planet that would have me waiting in line for it and none of it is food.
