Grilling / Smoking / BBQ

Doing a brisket this weekend. Current head-plan is to start it Friday night and let it go overnight and into Saturday. Hopefully done Saturday afternoon for an early dinner in nice weather. 

Any tips for a first-time brisket smoker? Will be on a pellet smoker and monitored with 2x meat probes for temp monitoring.

I love overnight cooks. Also this is not meant to be insulting but make sure it is a full packer brisket and not just the flat or point. Too many times I’ve seen first smokers run a flat like its a packer and get a mediocre final product (also me circa many years ago)

You gonna do great 🥩

Good to know! I’m picking one up from Costco so I’ll figure out what it is when I get there! 😅

I’ll certainly work my way up to nicer cuts. Going to get my feet wet one something bulk priced from Costco to start. Just watched a good guide on picking one out and trimming

try to find a small butcher house and get a prime cut if you can.

If you get good enough and you want to splurge, you can get Wagyu brisket out of Utah these days.

I’ve only bought two of them and they are basically Dessert to smoke. A1...not A5
