Brisket on a smoker?

[TJ&LadyDi]

Well, I was just looking around here and ran across this revived thread. Pretty good result, @Neal, for your first brisket. Here’s one of my more recent efforts in cooking brisket that proves old guys can still cook. I guess 50 years of experience helps a little.

How far ahead to season a brisket?

Thanks, folks. Looks like the consensus is longer is OK/better, so I’m going with that. I’ll season the brisket this evening (7-8 pm) and get it into the smoker about 5 am Saturday morning with a target done time (including a minimum 1-hour rest included) of 6 pm. My brisket cook times (@...

Thanks TJ! Glad to see you back 'round here! I'm craving another brisket, such a delicious meat.

Last one we did came out great. Had to start at 5:30 in the morning so it was ready for dinner.

Was already split into the flat and point making it easier - about 10 lbs total.

Fit on our Traeger Ranger nicely.

We have been picking up 1/2 a long horn to keep the freezer stocked. Love the long horn better than black angus etc.

Now I may have to plan another brisket after reading this.

Getting to be that time again. Picked up a brisket today from Costco as the price was about half of last time $2.99/lb. They also had rack of pork so I picked on of those up too.

We did a rack of ribs last Sunday. Tried a new rub and used a lot of brown sugar. Was really good!

I read this whole thread and thease are fun topics.
My problem is I don'thave or take the time to smoke my own. I am spoiled because we have some great places for BBQ around heare (Fort Worth area). I was at one I like yesterday. Hard Eight BBQ. I like it because you go through a line and see and pick out what you wan't. The only trickey part is not overloading your tray. You need to tell them/ask how much in an order. If you jus keep pointing it can get expensive. They will also cook steaks and fish to order on their grill.

Hmmmm. What happened to the “I am gonna do it” this time? Asking for a friend.

I do like Texas BBQ! We were just north of Dallas in February (Hickory Creek COE) and the closest we found was Sullivan's. I don't know how it rates with the locals but for us it was heaven! BBQ is just not that big of a thing here in Canada. sigh.........
