Huskee Spinaker BBQ_Bill ComfortablyNumb Ernest Hey what’s up did a brisket cook yesterday on the kbq and my brisket came out dry and need some advice on how you guys do yours on the kbq . It’s was a packer prime brisket from Costco and I injected it with kosmos q reserve blend and moisture magic and for the rub I used equal parts salt and pepper the day before covered with plastic wrap it and left it in the fridge 1 day before smoking . Then pulled it right from the fridge and threw it in the kbq and the temps were 225-240. I wrapped it at 175 with butcher paper and stuck my thermometer in until it hit 205 . When it hit 205 I checked with my other thermometer which is a thermapen and was hitting temps from 208-213 and was like ohhh shit way to high and threw it in the cooler for 2 hours wrapped in a towel . Anyway When I went to slice it did not crumble and cut fine but when I did the bend test it just fell right in half so I obviously I overlooked it. Did not use a water pan . Left a 1/4 inch of fat on . But it was dry . Oh yeah and my dad tried separating the flat and the point by cutting threw the fat seam and all the fat on the flat stayed connected to the point . I WAS SO PISSED OFF . Any way also wanted to ask I did not get that very black bark on this brisket also don’t know why . How do you guys do your brisket in the kbq ? Also this was my second brisket cook but the first one was like 8 years ago . There are some pictures down below.
first picture is before wrapping . Second is when done and third pic is of the slice
