Mother’s Day brisket for my wife. No sous vide, just the primitive smoker method. Put it on about 11:30 Saturday night and it was done by 1:30 Sunday afternoon. Wrapped it in cooking paper (parchment) and put it in a cooler to rest til 5.
This was a flat alone, not a whole packer brisket, and had too much fat trimmed off. From BJ’s Club. Nice bark, but no pink smoke ring (a known drawback to these electric smokers), and a bit too dried out. The thinner sections of brisket, near the camera, were more dry than sections cut at a better angle across the grain farther to the right. The thicker portion of the brisket came out more moist. Slices the width of a typical #2 pencil should not break when supported by their middle, and they don’t. Grading myself, I’d give it a C.
But excellent, high satiety dinner and leftovers for a few days.
