angus high choice brisket
trimmed up and ready for seasoning. secret seasonings are mayo, bolner's brisket rub and black pepper. The oil in the mayo pulls out the fat soluble flavors of the rub and the emulsifiers keep the bark from getting rock hard without wrapping
ready for the fridge
bringing up to room temp
lump, oak chunks and pecan chips
just a small water pan to help with the bark
on the pit at 225
after two hours
after 4 hours. temp bumped up to 250
after 6 hours
after 8 hours, stall is over so temp bumped up to 275
probed tender at 196
finished pic. mmmmmm, bark
wrap in butcher paper
then in foil
stash in cooler
money shot of point and flat
it sure was tender and juicy
texas style burnt ends
leftovers south texas style, enchiladas!
darkened up from the smoke
looks nasty but the runny yolk makes this the best breakfast, lunch or dinner ever

I'm just so jealous!! I would do anything to eat your meat!!

Bolner's fajita seasoning for life! I put it on nearly every veggie and meat I cook.

Thx @OP for sharing. Looks so juicy :)

I'm here for the HEB comments but the brisket looks incredible too!

The HEB has some pretty good cuts of meat

I'm gonna need your address, for scientific tasting purposes of course! Looks good amigo!

I see you shop at HEB. I, too, shop there.

Where's the smoke ring? You need actual wood chunks, not those chicken shit wood chips.
lah2429
oak chunks under the coals. There's plenty of smoke, look at the burnt ends. I use the pecan chips for a subtle nutty kiss
codenamenothing
Is that the Akorn series smoker?
lah2429
yep, planned on upgrading shortly after I got it but now I'm in love and will use it until it dies
HelloToe
It can be tricky to get the hang of temperature control on it, but once you do it's a great cooker.
vuickb6
As a Texan it worries me that you put mayonnaise and commercial bought rub on your brisket. But whatever blows your goat up I suppose.
VikingDwarf93
And removed all the fat
altxatu
That bothers me as someone who likes to cook. If I want commercial shit, ill eat out. Show off a little. Put your skills on display.
flamingflamingo
"commercial bought rub" christ
lah2429
you'd be worried until you had my meat in your mouth
inbirdcultureitsconsiderdadickmove
punkjml40
Why you wrap and put in a cooler? What's the purpose?
lah2429
lets the meat rest, and relax from all that heat and cool down slowly. You can keep it in the cooler for up to 6 hours but I do 2 mostly
punkjml40
Thanks for the explanation, looks awesome by the way!
MisterNesbitt
Think of the cooking like a workout for the meat it tightens up and when it rests the fibers relax and release reabsorb the juices
DefinitelyNotAdolfHitler
... I think I just got a bolner.

Are you mad at your wrist?

You had me at HEB and Bolner's. San Antonio? Or near by?

I'm only asking so I can invite myself over the next time you do this.
DosequisAlexx
Fellow San Antonian! I make awesome brisket and jerky!

Looks delicious, but do you really eat this for breakfast?
whatareyougoingtodomeow
It's Texas. In the summer, we eat brisket for breakfast at times.
lah2429
The enchiladas were made after a 30 mile bike ride so it was more like brunch
duerenhest
Okay, then I get it, nevertheless meat is delicious all the time
allyourdownvotearebelongtome
i like how your secret seasoning for brisket is commercial "brisket rub"
lah2429
never saw it coming huh?
AvsFreak
I like making an 8:3:1:1 rub.
whatareyougoingtodomeow
Fiesta has pretty good seasonings. I've never used the brisket rub though
Noburu
All of their seasoning is off the charts. I go through a couple of their 32oz fajita seasoning bottles a year. It's great on everything.
dayemoon
He even used the "extra fancy" seasoning.
vuickb6
This times eleventybillion.
mt77932
When tentybillion just won't cut it.
jmeyers1983
For real, and it's unnecessary. Franklin's uses only salt and pepper. I like a little cayenne, paprika, and dry mustard in my rub.
lah2429
Franklin is a weird dude, rumors I've heard is he tells people that to laugh at them when they quote him on it. He uses more than that
jmeyers1983
I've watched him do it on video, heavy layer of salt and pepper. His method is just use the best quality beef and his blend of wood

Sometimes, rather than explain something I don't want to reveal, I tell a little white lie.
byohzzrd
2 teaspoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons chili powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
hell0shitty
Also what happened to the fat cap?
lah2429
it's on the other side, timmed to 1/4"
VoxDawg
Came here to say this. My best briskets/pork butt rubs are all from scratch. It's the only way to fly.
KingOfTheAnarchists
When I give butt rubs I never scratch

I guarantee there's a million commercial ones that are better.
VoxDawg
That's the funny thing about subjectivity, innit?

I would like to say that its Bolner's. Its basically some of the best seasonings around

rizion
You fucking lost me when you used mayo
lah2429
give it a try, lots of old timers have been using it and only now is it getting talked about
rizion
yeah, no you just use olive oil.
lah2429
some people use just olive oil. some people use mustard. some people use pickle juice. The mayo gives you by far the best bark out of all
rizion
