Rate this brisket. Tell me what you think about it.

On looks maybe a 7 or 8 TMans out of 10 TMans

I�d eat it

Good. Bit over cooked maybe.

Looks good. Better than most that gets posted here. Looks tasty. I wouldn't complain one bit about it.

Would

How long did you have to boil it?

Looks like most of the ones I put out. Everything is cooked per the thermometer, tenderness, and tastes great but I have an issue creating a substantial bark. I use a vertical propane smoker.

6 beers and it'll be great.

Let's eat

Let me first say that I didn�t smoke this. The folks who do our band barbecue called and asked if I wanted to throw anything on their smoker. They try to get as much meat as they can in there if they�re going to fire it up. I�d say it can cook at least 30 briskets at a time. Should I have trimmed some fat off before putting it on?

I was going to say trim a little more fat off before I read your comment. Fat will breakdown faster than the protein which will cause the seasoning to run off. I like to trim the fat side down to 1/4 and clean up all the fat on the other side. Any hard fat needs to go because that stuff never breaks down well.

Fed ex over night...

I once sent a fully cooked and frozen brisket to Camp Cropper in Baghdad. I packed the box with ice packs and balled up newspaper. When my friend got it, he said it was still mostly frozen. He thawed it out, warmed it up, and used it to barter for other stuff around the camp.
