What a crazy morning!! Early this week I planned to fix a brisket and invite family over for dinner. Find a decent looking 15# packer at our local store Friday. After lunch on Saturday I get the knifes out and get it trimmed up and remove the point (just to get a little faster cook), inject some beef broth, get my brine on and clean the weber 26" and SnS. Feeling pretty good about being really prepared this time...Ha.
Wake up at 3 am, got my starter coals going, put the BBBR all over the brisket...man I'm feeling good about now!!! Starter coals ashed over added my chimney full of charcoal and water to the trough then waited for my temp to raise. I personally like cooking brisket between 250-275. Temp came up nice to 277 and I slipped the temp probe in and set her on the grill at about 3:45. Checked on her at 6 and the temp was a little hot around 287. Closed down my inlet a little but noticed it was starting to rain. So I pushed my gasser out from under the awning to make room for my weber 26". I guess I was in too much of a hurry to get her out of the rain and moved it to fast, spilling the water over into the coals and pretty much putting them out. At 7:30 the Temp had dropped to 150, added more charcoal but it wouldn't recover!! Meat temp had dropped from 170 down to 150. So I started the oven, double wrapped the flat and stuck it in at 275.
went back out about 9:30, moved the charcoal around and got it going again, temp went to 273 so I left the pint on it to finish.
So much for planning ahead!
If this thing turns out any good the BBQ God were shining down on me!!!
Oh and the rain stopped about 2 mins after I moved the grill.....HA.
Hope you all have a better Sunday.
