Wrap a flat brisket?

[jdrozd]

I am doing my first brisket on the PBC tomorrow. It's a 6 lb flat. Do I bother wrapping this or just let it cook till done?
Thanx,

[Spinaker]

I would defiantly wrap that baby. Especially if its below Prime. I would also throw some low sodium beef broth in there with it. Maybe a half to a full cup. Wrap it tight in Heavy Duty aluminum foil. Good luck. The PBC is awesome for the BRIZ!!!

jdrozd, I believe Spinaker has it right wrap it after the first several hours in the smoker. Enjoy, Dan

So it worked out pretty well. I used meat heads beef rub, wrapped at 160 which took about 2 1/2 hours and it was at 200 at 4 hrs total. Temps were between 275-300. Do you normally inject when doing a brisket?

If its Prime I never do. But anything below Prime, I always inject.

jdrozd , I always inject briskets using Butcher's Prime Brisket Injection

I also got some of their Butcher's BBQ Phosphate Injection to mix with whatever solution I want to inject with. It's a good idea because their other injection products contain a lot of salt.

This is sooo funny. I was about to post about trying my first brisket flat and you beat me to it!

My flat is 6 1/2 lbs and almost round...

So...

1. smoke until internal is 160
2. wrap in foil with a bit of low sodium beef broth ( its' choice )
3. cook until internal is 200


4. rest how long?

thanks crew !

Hey sfbay, I have done a few flats that size the same way you are, and I have let them sit in the cooler for at least an hour.

Beautiful day in the Bay Area, huh?

It was a beautiful day today!

My kids had sports early on and they both had fun.

Family night tonight, then tomorrow is BBQ and football !
