14lb packer

[rmeugene]

My first full packer. Injected(Butcher BBQ Brisket Marinade)and salted 24 hours prior. Rubbed...thought I had it timed with everything I was reading. Put it on at noon figuring at least 20 hours @225*. NOT! 3am the maverick went off at 203*. Did not crutch as I REALLY wanted it to take longer so I could sleep in! Luckily I had the cooler full of hot water and the tin foil and towels ready. Out to the garage to wrap and into the faux cambro. It was still 160* at 9am. Woke everyone to the smell of me pulling(yes...I know it is akin to blasphemy to pull but that is what we like). Doughnuts and snitzels of pulled brisket for breakfast.

Nothing wrong with brisket for breakfast. I heard that's the new breakfast of champions

Brisket for breakfast .... yum! I make brisket hash a lot.

I would say that 15 hours is longer than most of my brisket cooks go. I just had my longest cook ever, last weekend at 19 hours. It was injected, which I rarely do, so I figured that is why it went so long.

Do your briskets usually take 20+ hours?

[ecowper]

I never inject .... I do wrap thinner briskets or flats ..... full packers generally run 14 hours for me. Flats run 8 hours, usually.

I had read that the full packer would take 1-1.5 hours/lb depending on temp. So I was figuring near 20 hours. I know better now.

My full packers usually take 18-20 hrs. I inject, but i also wrap (around 170). I normally pick out larger ones as long as they look good. Typically around 15 lbs.

I usually find my to be 45 min per lb, I think.... The last one I did was 275 the entire way no wrap, no stall. Wife said it was my best.

I agree. I have found that anywhere from 250 to 300 will not hurt the brisket. I also have never gone much above 12 hours on a Weber kettle with Slow n Sear.

Someone mentioned brisket for breakfast. Frying it like bacon...

[Butchman]

Brisket is great with eggs!

[Spinaker]

Yes it is! Nice Finex too!

[Polarbear777]

Only thing that beats brisket and eggs is topping it with hollandaise.

I was thinking "Brisket Benedict" just before I saw your comment! ;-)
