Well, was looking for a brisket to cook on my 2Star and the only one they had was a 17.5#..... sounds good to me. Hadnt cooked a brisket on the pellet smoker yet, but had smoked several on my webber bullet. Looked at some info online and seemed to be an hour or more per #, so i thought i would put it on smoke setting overnight and then wrap in the morning. I figured it would be done between 2 and 6pm.
Man was i wrong.... put it on around 5pm and at 1am the alarm was going off on the smoker (gotta figure out what caused that). But thankfully it did because the internal temp was about 150 already. So i wraped it, turned temp up to 230, and set my phone alarm for 4am. 4am it was 189, and by 4:40am it was tender to the meat probe and 201 degrees! Yikes, looks like brisket for breakfast.
I put it in a cooler and scooped a bunch of the juice into a seperat container.
Man, this smoker is amazing... but i need to figure out that alarm thing, and get a nap in today too
Happy memorial day weekend to everyone, remember those who risked everything for us!
