    Saturday Brisket #WSCG

    All,

    Saturday I did a small 5 lb brisket flat. I started with a little EVOO and used Oakridge compitition beef and pork rub. I stoked up the WSCG to 250 where she sat for the cook.




    After 7 hours, this is how it looked.



    Cutting into it, this is how it looked.



    All in all I was pleased, the bark was good, the tenderness was spot on. I prefer Oakridge black ops flavor, but the compitition beef and pork rub was good.

    The only disappointment was lack of smoke ring and the mesquite flavor I was trying to impart. I will have to work on wood chunk placement next time.

    Thanks for looking.

    That looks guuud! And yeah, that's some fine bark. I've never used mesquite.

      That looks like a winner to me.

          i would imagine you would get more smoke flavor if it wasn't in a pan

            The Weber cookbook that came as a freebie with the WSCG(S) (and well it should have! ) says to smoke the brisket in a pan. I have yet to do this, since I like bark 360 (as Huskee calls it) and am skittish about a pot roasty flavor, especially if the brisket is wrapped in the pan.

            That said, lots of folks with serious BBQ chops here use a pan all the time. See this topic for more discussion on the pan/no pan approach for brisket. The great comments on that topic have me wanting to give it a go, at least once, anyway. Sacrificing a brisket to science isn't all bad, since there's always the Good Dinner and Leftovers Factor which tips the scale to the plus side heavily.

              I have cooked in a pan for years, I usually get smoke rings. I started after I read Myron Mixon's book, he promotes the technique.

              wbzipf , smoke ring is for show and doesn't impact the flavor. But I get my best smoke rings I'd I put the meat on before my smoker gets to 250.

              richinlbrg, that's a good point. I do usually put the meat on before it reaches 225f, but this time I didn't.
