Chopped Brisket
« on: June 10, 2019, 06:25:59 PM »
Hey all, feeding 15 plus guys for a camp out in two weeks.   Thinking brisket sliders.   Would you go up to 210 IT for fall apart brisket, chopped then sliders vs 200 IT for slices?   I have only done chopped once and that was by accident over cooking and it turned out amazing.  I'll probably FTC for a good 4 hours plus.  Then chop at camp.   

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Do the best of both worlds and slice the flat and chop the point.

Honestly I don't think you can go wrong either way. I have had chopped, pulled, and sliced brisket and all was outstanding.

Personally , I don't think you need to go to 210º even if you want to chop it. I would just go to your normal "finished" temp. for slicing .

Before I knew what Pellet Grills and BBQ Competitions were, there really was nothing better then a BBQ Beef Sandwich.  That was chopped beef, in BBQ sauce on a hamburger bun.  The less IT the more moisture, but a little tougher...but if you are going to chop, not much to worry about!  Those are some lucky guys, leave some fat on it to blend in with the chop!    :pig:

Yes sir!  When it's cold, right out of the refrigerator, cut it in chunks about like two stacked dominoes and chop it with a food processor (use the pulse button about three times).  Simmer it in BBQ sauce, pile it on a hamburger bun and dress it with a bit of raw onion.  Yawsa!

Thanks for posting this question. I will be following with great interest. I am doing pulled pork, pulled chicken, and brisket sliders next week.

I am glad I am not alone in the use of this.  Kristin hates the meat when it has been done this way!

Ok, I know what I am doing with my next left over unsliced brisket out of the fridge.

appreciate all the feedback.  Current plan:

1) 15 lb Costo prime brisket.  Not going to over think it will skip injection.  S&P, smoked paprika, garlic powder. 
2) 8 lb pork shoulder.   Sweet and smokey rub
3) brioche buns  (gotta fancy up the camp out)
4) pickled red onions
5) sweet baby rays thinned with vinegar

I really want to go chopped vs pulled (or pulsed).   Last night on TV was a Burgers, Beer, and Q which mixed the pork and beef.  Looked pretty tasty.  I'll give this simplified version a try.

Will do my best to post pics, it's 9 days out yet.

PS for perspective, my buddy is making Pho all day Saturday for the group.   So I need to knock this out of the park.

Pho, that is some good stuff.  Have not had it since a little shop in Las Vegas...Closest thing Mayberry has is chicken noodle soup...

Costco was just about out of packers.  Under 9 lbs was what I ended up with.  I'll be doing these again, little trimming loss compared to the 15 to 18 lb packers, thicker flat too which I thought was interesting.  Over all super happy with how this turned out at almost 50/50 chopped pork to beef, but I have found for my own taste I do prefer the beef.

Next up, trying to see who got a picture of the finished product and plated.

So we're about 30 miles out of town.   On 17 or so acres of privately owned forest land with a creek running through it.   So have to FTC for several hours, and then when we finally decide dinner is ready to be eaten, it needs to be ready quickly.  Had my buddy "chop" and it turned out a pretty rough chop and a little pull.  I'll do the chopping myself next time.     Same buddy did get a decent finished picture.  Ended up with some leftovers that we had for lunch the next day as a handful of folks couldn't make it until Saturday.  Overall came out great.

PS the Pho turned out surprisingly well.  I do enjoy unnecessary complex meals while camping.

last one and I'll be done.

This is what two of my buddies were doing while the rest of us either watched, cooked, played horseshoes, cribbage, cornhole, or croquet.

That sammie looks great dk.  Love the pickled red onion, I will have to try that next time.  Was the tree falling entertainment for your buddies, or a need for wood etc?
