Great looking bark and smoke ring. I didn't notice the toothpicks on first reading, a nice trick indeed. Thanks for sharing the details of your cook.

[Panhead John]

Thanks Bill! Yeah, I stole the toothpick idea…..🥸

Wow, great-looking brisket. Wonderful documentation. A real plate. Even a serving of beans in a nice little ramekin. But most of all, no lame jokes.

Who are you and what have you done with our PJ?

Brisket Cook Summary………

Meat: Snake River Farms Prime grade brisket. The flat was used for this cook. After trimming, the flat weighed approximately 4.3 lbs and was 2” thick at one end and approximately 1” thick at the other. Dry brined overnight with sea salt, granulated garlic and coarse pepper rub added before the cook.

Cooker: Oklahoma Joe Bronco, done on the grate.

Fuel: B & B Charcoal Briquettes and 3 hickory wood chunks for smoke.

Cook Time and Temps: Total cook time was 7.5 hours with a 2 hour faux cambro rest. 9.5 hours total time from start to finish. After a 2 hour stall, I did a foil boat rest and bumped the temps from an average of 250* to 275*. Brisket came off the grill at 200* IT.

Before trimming…..

Wow! Since PJ never sent me my Bronco I’m going to Pan his documentary of cooking brisket on one. If he ever does, I’ll Head on over to my butcher and pick up a prime brisket to cook on it.

Seriously, well played and documented, PJ. Put a gold star by your name. ⭐️

[Panhead John]

Thanks my friend!

[DTro]

Nicely done!

[Ndfreeze]

An you fit a full brisket on it?

[Panhead John]

Ndfreeze If it’s a small to no more than medium sized brisket, it might fit after trimming. Here’s a full packer I did a few years ago on the Bronco. It barely fit on the grate after trimming. You can always hang a full packer if it doesn’t fit on the grate though. Another option for you is to buy an additional cooking grate. There’s 2 cooking grate levels in the Bronco, so another option would be to cut the brisket in half and use both grates.

Ndfreeze Plus there’s Harry Soo’s "stick a couple blocks of wood under it" solution. Works perfectly.
