Getting ready for first brisket cook in the PBC.
Im sure this barrel will be confused by the amateur attempt and only having 1 brisket in it.
But got some B&B charcoal and a 14 lb whole packer, choice.
Technically, it's "wet aging" in the cryovac I guess.
Triming the packer tomorrow.
Going to dry brine til Friday morning {36 hrs ish}.
Cover with BBBR
And let it ride.
Going to try to keep things as simple as possible -
Let the PBC do its thing. So I'll monitor temps but won't try to control them.
Hang til 170 ish then move to the grate.
If it's not at 203 when the charcoal dies out, finish in oven.
Take it it 203 ish then hold in cambro for 2 hrs.
Might do some burnt ends.....
Figure 8-10 hrs smoke time, and a couple hours to hold, so I'll wake up early and get the fire going about 4:30, brisket on at 5:00.
Not fooling with injecting of what to wrap with. If it hits a looonnnnggg stall, could use foil. But trying not to.
This may not be a perfect brisket, but I want a baseline of comparison going forward.
If I get a B+ result, I'll be pretty happy.
