Brisket Flat
« on: July 27, 2018, 03:21:55 PM »

Would just the flat on a brisket be done in 6-8 hours, or is that still an overnight cook?  I'm thinking just the flat shouldn't take an overnight cook.

Depends how big it is.  I used to use 75 minutes per # as a guide.

My wife wants one with really heavy bark.  I on't like it like that and have no idea how to go about it, so I need to keep an eye on this thread.  Keep us posted.

low and slow unwrapped and probably with a molasses glue before the rub

I took out a 5.5 lb angus flat from the freezer the other night.  Will dress it tomorrow night, plan on putting it on the pit around 7am at 225 on Sunday morning for dinner Sunday night.  I usually do foil at 160-165, so my bark is usually not as heavy as Brushpopper's wife might want, although I have always wanted to try and cook a brisket through without wrapping.  We usually eat late in my house, so hoping it is done by around 5pm-6pm and rest.  If it is done earlier, will FTC and should be good to go.  I have never cooked a full packer only flats, and this plan has worked for me each time.

I rub with yellow mustard then apply a rub.  You can't taste the mustard but it helps the rub stick and create a bark.  Wrap with butcher paper at the stall (160 internal) to maintain the bark.  If you use foil to wrap you'll lose some bark.
