First Brisket Attempt

Congratulatons to a fellow Nebraska Cookshack owner! I live outside of Lincoln and bought my 009 from the LaVista Cabela's in April. I like the way brisket's turn out in my 009. Did you cook a flat or a packer cut brisket? If you haven't tried smoking a pork shoulder (Boston Butt), give that a try next. I pulled a 7 pound shoulder out of the smoker today after 18 hours of smoke and it turned out great.

Husker- I tried to order my 55 from the same Cabela's in early Nov. but it was going to take over 3 weeks for delivery. Being the impatient person that I am I ordered mine direclty from CS and it delivered in just 2 days.

I cooked a 12.65 lb packer and it took just over 17 hours. I was amazed at how moist and tender most of the meat was. Some of the flat needed to be sliced thinner to keep it tender, it was truely a successful smoke. I've done about 4 butts and had similar experiences with them as well. For tomorrow I've got 4 lbs of eye of round seasoned with Hi Mountain going in the smoker for jerky. Ya Gotta love the CS!

Go Big Red!
