I don't get it, and maybe I never will. Why do people still rely on set times to know when bbq is done? I've never done that, and never will. Even on ribs.



Never met a cow or a hog or a chicken for that matter that could tell time.

Nice looking brisket.

As with all recipes (and things in the universe) time is relative.

Started the 4-2-10 experiment tonight. Pulled one out of the chest freezer on Sunday to slack but it was still partially frozen.



Pre-trim. Didn't require too much knife work.



Brisket went on @19:20. See you in 4 hours. Don't judge me on the huge scar. PSA: don't drink & trim.

After 4 hours, this is how it looks. Hit 170°F internal. Not impressed by the bark. Raised cook temp to 285°F. See you in 2 hours.

Edit: started fat up, flipped it to fat down.

I'm here for the science. What did you rub with?

When I reinserted the probe, it read 160°F.

Rub

3 parts salt
2 parts 16 mesh ground black pepper
1/2 part Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1/2 part McCormick Seasoned Meat Tenderizer

I did a traditional brisket cook two weeks ago and liked the flavor so, I stuck with it.

I actually tried a version of this not long after this thread. Ended up with pot roast. My main concern was realized in that the oven temp got too high for too long trying to maintain the setting. Tasted good, just fall apart. Back to the normal way for me unless I eventually get something more reliable than my oven.

I think temp control is the biggest factor. Most ovens lowest temp settings are 170°F.

I will probably end up with a similar result but. Science.

I have three more briskets in the freezer and this was worth the sacrifice.

Wrapped briskets always coke out with bark not as good as unwrapped.

Absolutely, even more so when not fully developed.

The final product. Very juicy & super moist but not my favorite flavor and texture.



As suspected, came out more like pot roast or roast beef. I'll never cook a brisket this way again.

What temp setting? Mine goes down really low if I need it.

Mine allowed 160 and for a while read low 150s so I thought it was good. I think it settled in the high 160s to low 170s though so it just cooked the shite out of it.

Of course, my wife said it's the best one I've cooked



She likes the pot roast taste and texture.

Keep it simple.

Trim it, rub it, 235 until 195-200 internal.

If you are in a hurry. Use the Texas cheat and wrap it at 165.

If you are in a real hurry, 235 for two hours and then into the oven at 350 until internal is 195-200.

You don’t have to over complicate these things.
