My first brisket!

[Will Wyatt]

Saweeet. Think I'll be doing a turkey before I tackle a brisket but this thread just might change my mind. That piece of meat looks AMAZING!!!!!

[Huskee]

I agree with everyone, beautiful job! That sliced picture showing that juicy glistening goodness is great!

[BigBear]

You have inspired me J's BBQ ! I have been wanting to cook a brisket forever and have been a little intimidated by it. I just recently got a PBC and spent much of the morning reading Meathead's Texas Brisket recipe. I think it's finally time. Congrats on a great cook!

That brisket is a thing of beauty, J's BBQ . Congrats!

Awesome job, Luv those prime briskets from Costco. I have to drive an hour and twenty to get them but they are worth it for $3.79/lb!

[CurlingDog]

Ernest is right.. keep to the plan. Brisket and cooking in general doesn't lend itself well to multi-variable testing. you are just getting started!

[mayapoppa]

That looks freakin' awesome! I think I have to do another brisket soon...

[Ernest]

NICE!! Resist the temptation to tweak too many things on the next cook. Maybe tweak just one thing at a time.

[Brisket Syndicate]

NICE!!!

J's BBQ, Congratulations! Now you will have to buy a bigger table to fit in every one coming to EAT. 😃 Dan

Congratulations, that took guts to do your first one for friends right of the bat. It looks terrific!

Looks terrific!

[PaulstheRibList]

Keep throwing parties and cooking for them

J's BBQ ...

Nice. For your first brisket that's a grand slam.👍

If your Texas friends like it you know you've done good. Texans know their brisket. There's always something you'll want to tweak on the next cook.

Studying and planning goes a long way in BBQ. Good job my friend.🍻

Home run right there!!!

Nice looking intramuscular fat on the flat, and those muscle striations almost run directly across the flat, pretty neat.
