First PBC cook, 6lb brisket point

[vertigo]

Finally got around to doing this, so here are some photos of the 6lb brisket point I did as my first PBC cook this past weekend when it was -8 degrees Celsius out and quite windy down by the lake. Please excuse my horribly oversaturated photos, I had had "a couple of drinks" when I started and "well the case is empty now" by the time the cook was done and chose silly filters for these Instagram shots.


Rubbed and ready to roll! Meat Church Holy Cow is some really great stuff.




Just after I dumped 40 lit coals onto the charcoal basket and placed it inside the PBC.



The moneyshot. At the cottage I just have a serrated bread knife, so that's what I used to slice this baby up. Worked well, actually, I may get another for the house instead of using my beloved Wusthof Classic chef's knife.




I absolutely cannot wait to fire the barrel up again this weekend, probably for some ribs and chickens...

Looks great! Nice bark. What were your temps, and how long was the cook?

At -8 C it started out steady at 325 F so I put foil into 2 rebar holes and it settled in at 280 for the long haul. It took about 6 hours, I pulled it at 200 F internal according to my Maverick ET-733.

Great looking cook!!!

Most impressive particularly for a first cook on a PBC as well as a brisket of all things.

I'm no stranger to brisket, so I figured for my first PBC cook I'd go with a brisket point, though not a good grade. It was Canada AA grade, roughly equivalent to USDA select. Still $5.99 CAD/lb though

Very nicely done ... congrats!

The brisket looks great! The motorcycle looks Ducati-esque...

[vertigo]

Thanks! The bike is an '06 Honda VFR800 with a few things changed.
