When you foiled the brisket at 165 degrees, did you put it back into the smoker of just let it sit out of the heat for 3 hours. I don't quite understand this part. How does the temperature increase without heat? I am smoking a brisket this weekend. I will be using a digital thermometer for monitoring. |
Hi everyone... first time poster... so whats the answer here? I'm confused and my brisket, using this recipe is at 170 right now !!!
So which is it.....
Wrap in foil at 165 then take it off the heat ?
or foil it and leave it on the heat until 195 then let it rest for a couple hours. Thanks... |

Well here's what I ended up doing...... when the brisket reached 165 I double foiled it, left it on the smoker until it reached 195. Actually it got to 199 -200. I didn't mean for that to happen and I was worried about it but it ended up fine. I removed it from the smoker, left it in the foil and wrapped it up in 2 paper bags and put in a cooler for about 2.5 hours. Temp increased to 202 and then started dropping very slowly.
This turned out great! It was tender and very juicy. I will add more "kick" to it next time because I only put black pepper, granulated garlic & onion, salt on it rather than the Montreal Seasoning.
It was so good I'll probably make another one very soon. |

What is the purpose of wrapping it and putting it in an ice chest? |

Letting it sit wrapped up gets the juices that came out in the foil to be absorbed by the meat and keeps it warm too.
I'm not sure if everyone does it this way. I would like the outside a bit "crustier". Maybe someone else can help out on how to acheive a crustier crust  |

Just starting with BBQing but will be trying this recipe this weekend. But from what I understand (ie what I have read) in order to get a crisper crust after letting the meat rest place it back in the smoker for another 10-15 minutes |

I have a brisket marinating right now, was suppose to cook it tomorrow for some friends. i just found out the party has been postponed until next friday. will leaving the brisket in the dr. pepper marinade for a week be too long? Should I pull it out of the marinade at the two day point and refrigerate it until I'm ready to cook it?
I have a lot riding on this brisket and I want it to be perfect. (These friends may be a potential source of some serious business for me)
Thanks,

I'm going to try this method on Saturday morning.
I'll start soaking the brisket this afternoon when I get home and pull it out Saturday morning to put on the UDS...wish me luck. |

If I'm not a fan of Dr. Pepper, sacrilegious for a Texan I know, would Coke be as good? |

I would think Coke would work. You really don't taste the Dr.Pepper but it does add sweetness. Let us know! |

I will be giving this a try on my next brisket.
Here is my general rule of smoking brisket
Rub/Marinade the day before.
Take meet directly from fridge to smoker.
Smoke around 250*
At 167 I wrap in foil AND IT GOES BACK IN THE SMOKER
At 197 I take it out of the smoker.....leave the brisket wrapped in foil...wrap in your general run of the mill bathroom towel and place in an insulated cooler for 1-3 hours.
The reason for the cooler...it allows the meat to rest and re-absorb its juices. Trust me...when you unwrap the brisket...it will still be piping hot. |

Dr.Pepper is a soda pop. And the juice was misspelled it is Pomegranate. A fruit juice. |

I've used variations of this recipe for about a dozen packers now with amazing results. I'm even thinking about cooking one for my MasterChef audition in a couple of weeks. |
