    Wagyu Texas Cracklins report

    For those of you who don't know, "Texas Cracklins" is a name a site member came up with for something I discovered but am not claiming to have invented of course. I got tired of tossing the fay from an expensive brisket or saving it for hamburgers. Being semi-keto and never afraid of eating the fatty side of a brisket I soaked the sliced fat in whatever leftover injectant I had (rarely get 100% in the briskie) and then dredged them in BBR. Left them on the top rack of the smoker above the brisket where they rained some grease down, developed a dark bark and tasted AWESOME. I was a little embarrassed at first to eat barbecued fat, but I am telling you it is THE BOMB. Especially if you have relatively soft fat. So this year I didn't toss any fat off my Wagyu brisket and smoked it all. That white unappealing fat is now golden translucent goodness.

    Only about half of it made it through to the end of the cook.

        Can't, now I have to decide...tallow or beef crackling. What is the texture like?

          Definitely crunch outside and smooth inside.
