Great learning experience Saturday morning: 17# (pretrimmed) SRF Black Wagyu Brisket. Oakridge Black Ops rub. KKB charcoal and white oak lumps in the LSG cabinet. Started at 9:15am doing everything that has worked before. Cooker holding steady at about 245°F. At 7:00pm IT is 195°F still some more to go. It’s 8:45 temp had been going down for about the last hour so the meat was at 195°F still and cooker was down to 210°F and falling. Took the brisket off, wrapped in foil and into a 250°F oven for an hour or so.
I had some left over partially burned charcoal from the prior cook still in the basket so I thought I would use that with mostly new charcoal added. Note to self; Don’t do that again!
205°F nice and tender and time to pull and wrap for hold. So the day was saved. I really like the bark the Black Ops gives.
As a side note while this was cooking. My Daughter and Partner came up and I did some steaks on the Klose grill. Tri tip, cowboy rib eye, and 3-8oz fillets. Threw on some corn on the cob and green onions. Added some garlic herb butter for the steaks and mashed potatoes and strawberry short cake for dessert.
No problem on this cook and everyone enjoyed the get together and they went home with some leftovers. But no pictures so maybe this part was just my imagination.
