SmallBBQr 827 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 A Costco AAA brisket which had almost no fat cap (of course didn't know until I opened it) but still came out super moist and tender...I was worried when I started trimming it and realized I could not leave a fat layer. Put it on at 10:00pm last night and cooked 15 hours at 225 until 205 and probed nice. Used Weber briquettes with a sprinkle of Traeger oak pellets and some cherry chunks. Cooked on the Weber Summit Kamado. buckleybj, Golf Griller, CentralTexBBQ and 4 others 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nevery had that experience with Costco briskets. However, the higher grade of meat, the more intramuscular fat they have. Excuse me if I used the wrong word on the fat- still adjusting to this El Paso time change... great job on the cook Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rick in Ontario 140 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Did you wrap it part way through the cook or leave it naked the whole time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SmallBBQr 827 Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 I wrapped it at around 160 (with some beef broth for moisture, in foil, and also a drizzle of beef tallow on top for extra fat) and then finished it in the oven. I was planning on a naked the whole time but coincidentally, I realized my temperatures were slowly dropping as I was running out of charcoal so it was a good time to shift to the oven. I would have had enough charcoal under normal conditions, but the WSK is still new to me so I was messing around with temperature control starting around 4pm on Friday afternoon...so I had it running about 6 hours before I even put the brisket in that night. I had just finished modifying a custom adapter for the controller port so was experimenting, and then putting on the brisket was almost an afterthought....as actually planning it for Saturday night, but went early.
