Reply to "What Happen to My First Brisket"

Like GLH said.

The point may well take at least 210*

Choice should say it on the cryovac,or check the packing case.

Here is just one quick table of a method of grading.

1: Relationship Between Marbling Score, Intramuscular Fat, and Quality Grade a


Marbling Score Percent
Intramuscular Fat/SE
Quality Grade b

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Slightly Abundant 8.96 / .5 Low Prime
Moderate 7.14 / .2 High Choice
Modest 7.02 / .15 Average Choice
Small 5.21 / .1 Low Choice
Slight 3.76 / .1 Select
Traces 2.54 / .2 Standard

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I'd try cooking some choice and keeping good notes,before I'd give up and start foiling.

If you have not verified the accuracy of the AQ probe,it could be misreading and overcooking the flat.

There are comp cooks that cook briskets year round,and don't get better than you did.

Quality of the raw meat,WILL make a huge difference.
