Title: 680 Turned Out Another Great Brisket
Post by: Hoosier Daddy on March 27, 2018, 08:45:37 AM
Had a great weekend.  Friday evening I put on a whole packer brisket and while that was smoking I grilled some ribeye steaks on my Weber kettle (1st pick).  I can only imagine what heaven will be like but for me it will contain the wonderful aroma hickory smoke!

The brisket was done Saturday around dinner time and I totally forgot to make sure I sliced it against the grain, although I think I may have gotten lucky and got it right anyway as it was tender. 

We ate on the brisket for two days and today wife is going to make some kind of casserole concoction out of the left overs. 

Should also note that Saturday was the worst snow storm we had all year getting 8in of white stuff during the course of the day but the Rec Tec purred along just fine without issue. 

Happy smoking,
Dan

That’s a nice smoke ring.

What did you use for pellets?

I’ve always used the LJ Pecan Blend on brisket. I need to try Hickory.

That's a great picture!  Gotta like the dinner lineup of ribeye, brisket, brisket, brisket casserole.  Ya'll aren't messing around!

What a great site seeing the RT and kettle smoking side by side. That brisket smoke ring looks great, and paired with rib eyes makes for a great feast. Nice job.
