Title: Brisket Prep
Post by: rughead on January 01, 2021, 08:54:04 PM

 
 I am smoking a Brisket overnight Sat for Sunday dinner. It is large at 19 plus lbs before trimming.
 Smoking @ 200 till 165, wrap in BP, up temp to 250, go till probe tender. I am assuming 15-18hrs.
 How would you prep it?

  1. Trim, add rub, set in fridge uncovered overnight?
 
  2. Trim & rub just before smoking?

  3. ????? Your ideas?

  I have done variations of both. Just asking for opinions.
 
 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!   :beer: :bbq:

That is one big Brisket. I'm sure it will turn out nicely.

This is what I would do for a Sunday Brisket:
1. Trim and inject on Friday. And put in Fridge
    -- Lately I have been using Kosmos Q Brisket Injection.
2. Saturday night fire up the pit
3. Take Brisket out of fridge and apply rub
4. Onto pit Saturday night @180 . I usually do this around 8 PM
5. Sunday morning check the Brisket around 6 AM and if color is where I want it, I wrap it
6. Turn up the temp to 250 until ready to pull

 13 hr smoke, 3.5 wrapped.
Point was great, flat was a little tough. Could have gone longer.
