Came home, saw the notification from you guys and couldn’t believe it that you were cooking brisket flat! Roughly what was your tot@l cook time, I will be doing mine in an offset with a 4kg Boston butt next to it for a family catch up (post Covid lockdown) on Saturday.

    I got lil brisket. I thought it was a bit of point but on closer inspection when I unwrap it I wont be surprised to find it to be a flat that is half folded over to create the illusion of a bit of point. Cleaned up the council pile weber and it's had 1 or 2 cooks before lol. It cleaned up like a brand spanker. You reckon I aint cheering about that. I'll do a few kg's of wings on it tonight to reseason it and do the brisket tomorrow. Cheers for the inspiration.

And from there... injecting maybe (although I don't notice much difference), wrapping (with tallow helps imo), and a longer rest than you think. And some pieces of meat are just better than others... so there's always variables but start with a decent brisket I reckon

    I have a Weber Summit and absolutely love it. I've done some great slow cooks so far but never a brisket. I think a whole brisket at over $100 is just too much for 2 of us to eat, plus a lot of cash to splash on a first attempt. Where I've just moved to sells half briskets. After watching this, I have to have a go at it. Great video.

    This means that the internal temp of the meat bairly rises for a long period of time (up to several hours). You van speed up this process by wrapping your meat or increasing the temp in your kettle.

  • @wchops7578

    It’s generally when your meat starts expelling water at a high enough rate to cool the meat down enough to keep the internal temp from moving much. Basically, it’s sweating. Great time to focus on fat render and bark formation.
