Brisket

Postby mijpa30 » Sat Apr 21, 2018 6:32 pm

Purchased a 11lb packet. After trimming all the appropriate fat off I'm guessing it's down to 9lbs? How long to cook that at 225?

I am a newbie so I'm guessing probe om flat right before point?

There is no real set time. It sounds cliche, but its done when its done. Probe the center of the flat until it feels like a warm knife going into softened butter.

For your thermometer, insert the probe in the middle of the flat.

Start early. You can always hold it once its done. Plan for 1-1.5 hrs per pound depending on your cook temp. Doesnt mean it will fit in that time frame, but i would rather it be done early than struggle to finish in time.

Put up some pictures as well! We love a good brisket cook!

I haven't cooked a brisket at 225° for many years. I know if you cook it at 275°-300° it should be resting in about 5 to 6 hours if you are panning or foil wrapping.
Always remember slow and steady wins the race.
