I was describing my process here. I go fat side up for the reasons you stated. I never told HIM to go fat side up because I don't know his smoker.

i get it i just get perturbed that a lot of people on the internet swear up and down that fat up is the only way because thats what Franklin said. And they never understand that people do things for a reason... figure out that reason and modify to better suit your needs.

Im with youi dont like wrapping... I thoroughly enjoy the foil boat though... best of both worlds.

have you ever ventured to hot and fast? thats another thing that i enjoy doing.. getting nice low smoke then blasting at 350-400 and it being done in half the time.

I would not say that at all .... The corny keg or Cornelius keg comes from Coke and Pepsi. They manufactured millions of them to distribute their product. Once they updated their technology to syrup bags and carbonation machines these were obsolete. So homebrewers and other had a massive supply of unused vessel ready to use. Some I have bought still had sprite or coke in them probably from the 90s.

After a 6 hr rest was it cold? I'm clueless on this kind of stuff.
no he probable had in wrapped in a towel in an ice chest/cambro or low oven. pull in at 200 and insulating it will keep it for a long time.

here is a pic of the butterfly after its cooked.


my box that comp. Im still so disappointed in my burnt end presentation... those 2 on the ends make me mad. I think i placed 5th here. I was 1-3 in every category with all the judges except for that devil judge that put me middle of the pack. So mad, i should have taken home hardware.

I even scalped the point in a couple of spots but that's ok
you should try trimming it clean. I usually butterfly it to stay within competition rules but the whole point is trimmed clean of fat cap. gives the best bark for burnt ends.
i was looking for a pick but i cant find one.

quote:

As far as the tip getting overcooked, that first goes back to your trim. You want rounded edges. No sharp points. Aerodynamic trim allows the heat to travel around the brisket.
to nbe honest this really only matters for offsets and longer offsets to keep an efficient flow through their smokers. i love a bit of burnt bark on a piece thats not trimmed. the home cook cant afford to trim 30% off their brisket and just throw it away. The resturants use all that trim for sausage and tallow, so it isnt a loss to them.

quote:

.fat side up,
this is all dependent on the smoker. offsets, the heat comes from the top so fat up is good to protect the meat. if using a drum/WSM/weber kettle/kamado most pellets, heat is coming form the bottom so i would put the fat cap down.
quote:

I then wrap in foil and put it in a holding oven at 140* for at least 6 but usually up to 12hrs. You can put a little tallow in the wrap if you want. You don't HAVE TO hold it that long but to me, it gives the best results. You can wrap and throw it on the counter until internal comes down to 140 then serve. Apologies for the long post but in brisket, the details matter.
holding to me is only needed if you are done early...holding longer than it takes to come down to serving temp without moisture loss to me is just wasting time... but sometimes... you need to waste that time. as your guests wont be there till later. So i try and tell people that resting for hours is not required but a tool to use when you are done early or you dont want to have to get up at 4am to pull the meat... well cook it earlier and rest it overnight.


To the OP.... see his bark is dark dark... thats what it should look like.

Try injecting Dales
idk what dales is... you can inject seasonings but IMO it really only needed in completions. And more competition injections are full of phosphates to break down the meat fibers faster.

the frick? you making pastrami?

Interesting. I was thinking the foil steamed the bark and softened it.
well kinda... but butcher paper does the same thing. Wrapping is just a technique used to push through the stall. the Stall is when the meat gets to 150-160 and it sit there for hours because the meat starts "sweating" and cooling itself off. Wrapping stops that sweating/cooing action whether it be done with foil or paper.
quote:

The bark was a hard crust to the touch when I wrapped it BUT I feel like I touched only a small portion of the crust, I can't recall feeling it all over.
yea just looking at ti it looks to me like you could have set it more... i like a darker bark.

quote:

You think it was solely due to wrapping early?
I do... the downvoters dont feel like rebutting me, typical for people on here.
quote:

The crust was a bit soft in spots due to me wrapping it in foil instead of butcher paper.
wrong... you wrapped too early if you wanted a more durable bark.

in one since i get what you are saying... this is all a part of life and we have to deal with it...

On the other hand..... frick you. its hard losing a pet/family member and personally having to ruin the innocence of your child.
the week before... we kinda had a celebration weekend where we did a lot of things with the kids and dog. got him treats we wouldnt normally give. took pictures.. etc. hell im tearing up now... I miss that dog.
2 months before. He had a quick decline. all in about 2 or 3 weeks went from running around to wouldnt get up and barely eating.
Went through this last year with my 10yo doberman and a 7,5,3 yo. We just sat them down and talked about his life, and how he is tired, and how its time for him to go to heaven with all of our family that has passed.

I took it WAY harder than the kids. the 5yo's first comment was... ok what dog are we getting next, as im teared up. :lol:
