Thanksgiving Briskets

Did you forget the foil?

Who is eating all this food?

Hi GLH,

I didnt wrap in foil and hold in an ice cheast this time, it was held in the smoker at 150.
I was on vacation this week so I smoked more then usual.
Friends and family cant get enough of this tasty bbq.

Thank you,
Brian E.

It does look mighty tasty.

I think brisket and prime rib are on the menu for Christmas this year. I can't wait, and probably won't on the brisket. Prime rib, on the other hand is a little too expensive for me to do very often. It makes Christmas special.

So, didn't see your thoughts about the results? What did you think?

I saw a lot of rub on the fat side, but didn't see how much or what you put on the meat side. For me, I put little or not on the fat side and most on the meat side, in fact I'd say heavy on the meat side.

Did you see any issues with the one down low? When I load it up like that, I put the one on the bottom shelf fat side down (as a heat sink).

Congrats, that's a LOT of brisket.

Hi SmokinOkie,

Briskets were great like always.
I put Cookshack Brisket rub on both sides.
The one down low was fine it wasnt the very bottom rack, should I have turned it anyhow?
When using the very bottom rack I always put fat side down.
Next time I do briskets will use 4 oz of cherry and 2 oz mesquite.


Thank you,
Brian E.
