Brisket on the grill instead of hanging?

    Naw, it really doesn’t take that much longer, and I about have to for long cooks. I also use Weber charcoal because I think it burns longer.

    I've done a few on the PBC grill. Fat cap down, laying across a small block of wood to tent the brisket so that liquid does not pool on the meat surface (thus no crust), spritz or mop only after a crust has formed (finger nail scrap method) and follow any recipe that floats your boat.

    Soonerpop Dang man, Martha Stuart couldn’t load those briquettes any neater. You must have a lot of spare time. 🥸

    I’ve done both, hanging (like a hammock) and laying on the grates, draped over a block of wood. Both turned out terrific. I do like to rotate my brisket when cooking on the grate, usually a 1/4 turn every 30-45 mins.

    I don’t hang since I have a PBJ, and it gets real close to the coals. Grate works fine, though. I’d like to hang one if I can get a small enough brisket. And I use pink butcher paper to wrap, and I maximize the number of briquettes by loading the basket precisely so it stays hot longer.

    I smoked a brisket on my Weber 22" charcoal grill using the method described in Cook's Country magazine, Aug/Sep 2018. I was very pleased with the results. I used the charcoal snake, monitored the temperature of the meat and the temperature of the grill. The down side is that I had to start at 2AM to serve by 5PM. I had no leftovers.

    I agree with HawkerXP ; I get the best results with a brisket packer on the PBC by hanging it. Great flavor (the "self basting" vertical hang may help) and a wonderful bark. That said, I like to put pastrami flats on the grate because I usually load them down with the pastrami rub for tons of flavor and want that rub to get well set during the cook.

    Most times the brisket is too large for the grate. I prefer to hang as this gives a more consistent bark on top and bottom. Just need to make sure it is not touching the coals when first hung.

    Wrongway Howdy neighbor! It’s quite possible your brisket from HEB was prime. Right now their Prime briskets are only $3.59 per lb. BTW, where are you from, south of Houston?

    I followed the brisket recipe on the PBC website, except I put it on the grill. I cooked a 12 lb. brisket (labeled Prime), purchased from a local grocery store (HEB). I put a digital probe in the thickest part of the meat and one on the grill. The PBC temp hovered around 230-240.. It took about 4 hours for the meat temp to reach 170. I wrapped it in foil and put it back on the grill. However, after about 2 hours the meat hadn't reached 200 and the PBC started cooling down. Cracking the lid, etc. didn't help. I had to finish it in the oven (about 1 1/2 hrs.). I wrapped it in a towel and put it in an empty ice chest for 2 hrs. before carving. It came out great.
    I am a novice with the PBC so you are probably better at controlling the temp than I. I've had good luck with chicken and pork, but was hesitant about cooking a $70-80 piece of meat. I think the brisket I bought was mislabeled, as it was only $2.99/lb.
    Happy cooking!

    Brisket on the grill instead of hanging?

    Anyone smoke their briskets on the grill instead of hanging them? What's your procedure? Inquiring minds want to know. ;-)
