Unbelievable brisket

[cjv140]

After my crazy moldy kamado issue earlier today I threw the 12 pound packer on at 225-250 (crazy how it held the temp all day at 90 degrees with a bazillion % humidity). For this one i just did pink salt and cracked black pepper instead of Penzey's Chicago steak seasoning. I also didn't trim a piece of fat off (I usually take out 3-4 pounds of it). Let the naughty boy go for about 10 hours, powered through the basically non-existent stall, and wrapped him in foil then into a hot box for 2 hours when it hit 200.

While the egg was still hot and I had time to kill my daughter made her soon to be famous baked beans. I threw them in the egg to soak up the brisket smoke for 1.5 hours and they were amazing as always. No way I was turning on the oven in this heat! ​ ​

The brisket was unbelievable. Tender, juicy, and amazing flavor. The boss even was even impressed (not and easy feat). If I kept a BBQ log this one would be at the top of what TO do..... I just had to share!

While the egg was still hot and I had time to kill COMMA would have been helpful. When I first read it I wondered what she could possibly have done to deserve such a fate.

I have a newborn at home who won't sleep at night, so I totally get it.

Oh, geeze, that's exactly what I thought too. First read was shocking. The sentence made more sense after I took the time to parse the words.

rodkeary LMAO. I proofed it but apparently not good enough. Great catch brother! No way I would submit my future restaurant partner to an early demise!

I wondered if anybody else picked up on that.

Whew! I can stop worrying about being charged as an accomplice or something now ...

[rodkeary]

If the homicide did indeed occur, I suspect the defense would be "guilty with an explanation your honor. I caught her dry brining the brisket".

Congrats on a successful cook.

[HouseHomey]

Comma? I read it just fine and would not have known had it not been mentioned.

Great cooks ins are super fun. You’ll be chasing that one for a while.

Why pink salt it is used for curing and can be dangerous if not used properly. Please be very careful in using it. Before I get upset about this what pink salt did you use. Praque #1.

[DiverDriver]

Yup I thought that as well. Then it hit me duh. HimElayin is a bitXh to spell.

[cjv140]

Himalayan salt, not Prague powder. I don't mess with that stuff, not yet anyway. The HPS flavor is better chambers salt to me.

[mountainsmoker]

Good, just checking with all my curing pink salt means Prague powder, Himalayan din not even cross my mind. That brisket looks A++++
