OK, so I've been really bothered about doing a "roast beef" brisket in
the oven for our neighborhood get together. I've always been a "might
as well do it right" kind of guy, so I want to try to do my best on
this.
I pulled this off the 'net and I'm going to attempt this on my gas
grill. Please see my questions below the recipe:
====================================
from:
http://www.askthemeatman.com/beef_brisket__how_to_choose,_prepare_and_cook.htm1
brisket, 10-12 pounds

1. Trim brisket of excess fat (leave about 1/4" cover). Rub brisket
thoroughly with Brisket Seasoning mixture and set aside.

2. Preheat entire gas grill. To obtain a smoky flavor, use a mix of
mesquite and hickory wood chips according to your gas grill directions.


3. Shut off one side of the grill. Use indirect heat. (Which means
placing the brisket on the opposite side of the grill from the heat,
making sure that it is not above any part of the fire.) Turn the heated
side down to low and close the cover.

4. Grill for about 2-1/2 to 3 hours, or until the internal temperature
reaches 140º F. Apply the "mop" to the brisket (with a brush)
occasionally during the cooking period.

5. Remove the brisket from the grill, cover with favorite barbecue
sauce, and wrap tightly in heavy foil. Return to the grill (unheated
side) and cook for another 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until the internal
temperature is about 200 - 210º F. Rotate the package so that all
sides are close to the hot side of the grill for even time periods.

6. Remove the meat from the fire and let rest in the foil for 30
minutes to one hour.
===========================================================

Steps I've taken to get this thing done:
1) Made a mop sauce consisting largely of beer, vinegar, veg. oil,
water, onion, garlic etc etc.
2) Purchased mesquite and hickory chips, which I'll soak and wrap in an
envelope consisting of a few layers of foil, open ended.
3) Cleaned the greasy muck out of my grill and checked for fuel.
4) Installed a rack 2" under my lower (main) cooking grid and layed
down a fresh layer of Char Diamonds spaced 1/4" apart.
5) Bought a couple of bottles of my fave sauce, STUBBS brand mild. I'm
sure there are better sauces, but at least I'm not using Kraft et al.

Questions:
1)Is it 250deg. that I need to try to aim for on my grill? I figure
I'll drill a 5/32" hole in the lid of my grill at the level where the
meat cooks to monitor temp and stick my temp probe through it.
2)Should I cook the brisket on the upper or lower rack?
3)When do I add the envelope full of wood chips? Should I do more that
one envelope full during the cooking process or will that be too much?
4) My grill is only 27" wide, so I'm not sure I can get all 10lbs of
the meat so it's not above a burner. I thought I might shield any meat
cooking above flame by placing a bit of foil under the char diamonds
before I light up. Will this prevent part of the meat from drying out?

My event is this Saturday, so no time for a trial run.

This group has been extremely helpful. I'll be looking forward to any
replies.

Thanks!

Mike

250 F is a good average. Don't sweat minor temp swings. It can
go as low as 200 F for a time, and as high as 300 F. That won't
hurt anything.

> 2)Should I cook the brisket on the upper or lower rack?

Whichever gets you 250 F at rack level.

Put it on right from the beginning. You'll might go through
more than one envelope. If you only use one, fine. In a regular
smoker I apply light smoke for the whole session but that's
definitely not a requirement.

*The important thing is to cook it right*. Job one is to take it
off when it's at the right level of tenderness. Don't worry if
you don't get quite as much smoke as you'd like.

Do what you can to deflect direct heat. You might need to use something
heavier than foil. I've used a pie tin full of sand wrapped in foil.

My 2¢ (and worth every bit of it):

Don't trim the fat! Cooking indirect, fat side up! (Fat to the fire)

Using mesquite lump is fine (charcoal is charcoal), but just use the
hickory chips and those for just the first hour. Temp at grate 250° F.
It's not brain surgery. If the temp spikes to 300° F. no problem.

Don't open the grill to mop, you lose heat and increase the cooking time.
It'll be fine with that extra fat cap on it.

Don't steam it in aluminum wrap! Just cook it 'til it's 192° F inside.

After ya let it rest in the foil (put it all in a cooler if it's chilly or
windy out) for 1/2 hour, it's ready to pull.

Everything else sounds OK, but what do I know?

Drink plenty of beer, leave plenty of time, have plenty of beer on-hand for
your friends. Everybody have fun! The last is the most important part.

Curse me later. ;-D

- I'd skip the mesquite and just use hickory. Mesquite is
quite strong and some people don't like it at all. Hickory
is a safe bet.

- Using foil anytime during cooking is less than optimal but
since you're trying to BBQ with a grill it may help.

- The 200-210 F final temp is a bit high. I usually pull
it off at 190-195 F and let it rest in foil for a time.
In any case, your most important test is tenderness. Stick a
fork dead center in the meat and it should twist easily (ask
yourself: would I want to bite into this?). Also, don't
be afraid to slice off a piece and give it a chew. Anything
is better than serving a rubbery, underdone brisket.

- I don't use mops. It makes things take longer because
you're letting the heat out, and it doesn't actually
help keep it moist. If anything, use a finishing sauce
when you take it off. I prefer serving sauce on the
side.

- Of the bottled sauces, Stubbs is one of the better ones.
Good choice there.

I was talking to the "Change Smoker"
http://www.imperialkamado.com/i_feature.htm

at a recent http://www.cbbqa.com/ event to find out why he wins the
brisket events so often. (He won the "Go for the Gold" event
recently.) Besides being in love with his earthen smokers, he
apparently smokes for 4 hours or so at about 225 with wood chips &
charcoal, then foils the meat to keep it moist while he finishes the
cook. Called this the "Texas Crutch". Cooks 1.5hrs per pound. To
around 190 I'd guess. He starts with the fat side down, which is
opposite of most advice.

He also seems to be pretty expert at seasonings. He said he looked at
the seasonings black people like, then what white people like, etc.
and played around until he found a combination he stays with.

I guess he wins enough of these events, the Imperial Kamodo people
asked him to be one of their reps. He didn't take the offer, but
talked about his 2 cookers for quite a while. Nice guy.

I just did 50 lbs of brisket, pork and tri-tip this weekend in my
Klose BYC. I basically did the same thing, smoking for about 4 hours,
then foiling. Turned out great. I use oak because I have it. The
brisket came out so tender you can cut it with a fork. Some say to
poke a hole in the bottom of the foil to let the grease out. I
didn't.

I just wish I knew the Change Smokers rub and sauce recipes :-)

On that note, my wife seems to like Sonny's bbq sauce. I just bought
a bunch of it for her on the net. We stopped in a Sonny's on a recent
cross country trip. It's on the sweet side. I personally like Blues
Hog. (spicey) A person gave me a bottle at a cbbqa event in San
Diego (Surf & Turf). I was just talking to a guy and he walked over
to his truck and handed me a bottle.

These sauce recipes are pretty closely guarded secrets I guess. If
anyone has a good one to start out with, please share :-)

All you really need to do is get the smoke in the meat with your
woodchips before you foil it, then cook "low & slow" until the meat
tenderizes. This is really just the same as how a crock pot works.
Once you foil the meat, you're not bbqing anymore. Extra smoke
doesn't help. Only heat from the charcoal is needed. In a pinch it
could be finished in an oven I guess.

I've been cooking and listening, trying to learn to bbq since I got
the Klose last summer. It's a great hobby. The competitions are
interesting if you like talking to nice people.

Larry

A finishing sauce for brisket? Never heard of such a thing.

My confusion stems from your use of "finishing sauce." I think of a
finishing sauce as something applied in the last half-hour or so of
cooking, with the intent of allowing it to warm up and carmelize
slightly. I didn't catch the part about "when you take it off."

Personally I've gone several years without using any kind of
sauce with brisket. When serving others I put out at least one
type of sauce, always on the side.

So?

Because he's an idiot?

There's a world of difference between talking about what spices tend
to be used in what regional or ethnic cuisine and talking about what
spices "black people like" and what spices "white people like." The
fact that you have to point to Asian and Mexican FOOD -- not to Asians
or Mexicans -- illustrates that huge difference, as does the fact that
you can't point to "black people" cuisine or "white people" cuisine.

There are bozos on both sides of the aisle. His alleged liberalism
doesn't make the statements any less fatuous.

>I also don't waste a lot of time with political correctness,

>

You know, not every discussion or race or race relations has to
involve the concept of "political correctness" -- whatever that phrase
is supposed to mean. Sometimes a dumb idea is just a dumb idea, as is
the case with "spices that white people like."

So you say that there is no black culture and that there's no way
possible for it to be different than what you know? You're very lucky
to know so much!.

I've heard some of the best Q comes from southern blacks. This is why
I stopped in various BBQ places across the south on a recent trip.
Since I'm not as smart as you, and I want to learn a little about
what these folks are doing, it pays for me to be quiet and listen - if
they're willing to talk to me for a while.

If you don't understand what's pig-headed dumb about saying that black
people and white people like different spices, or that either group
likes a particular set of spices, then I'm not sure I could explain it
to you if I started yesterday and lived to be a hundred.

>How does this social commentary help the original poster?

Read what I said again. It's pretty clear to me that the sub-text is,
"Why would you think a bozo capable of saying something that dumb
would know anything about anything?" Suggesting that he consider the
source of his information is providing help, regardless of whether
it's the help he was expecting.

Good for you. I prefer to be a bit more discriminating about my
sources of information, figuring that if someone is capable of making
-- and apparently believing -- such nonsense, then he's probably wrong
about a lot more other things.

Didn't say that, either. You don't read so good, do you?

Yes, I suppose I am. For one thing, it keeps me from embarrassing

One thing I like about Reg, he dishes out advice that will help the OP
render the best result possible in *their* situation. Too many in
Usenetland judgementally hand out advice focused on thier capabilities
and desired outcome. It's an easy thing to do for hobby geeks (myself
included) that are passionately into their fave pastime.

Thanks to all here. I bought two briskets. Have one on the grill now,
will do the other tomorrow. Might be able to fine tune my method a bit
in the process.

I've just read some of your other posts in this newsgroup and see what
words come out of your mouth. I encourage others to do the same.

I don't know what your job is, but I'd imagine you're just as
competent at it as I see you are with BBQ and basic human interaction.

You are VERY impressive to someone like me. I really mean it. It's
not often you see someone so knowledgeable and so good natured at the
same time!

Of course, it doesn't take much to entertain me anymore. I've even
enjoyed just watching the bug zapper ...

There's more. Google spits out your address and phone number for some
reason. Not nice to post.

The great part is that if some of this is correct, you're the
nationally known anti-spam guy! Considering your performance in this
group, this is far better than watching the bug zapper!

I was hoping to read some of that famous prose . . .

Just a matter of time, Matthew. If you want to speed up the process,
talk about a Net k00k rather than talking to him. Haven't you noticed
CAL jumping up and down and waving his arms, following-up to
everything I post, following me from froup to froup, all in a pathetic
attempt to get my attention? Hell, he even created a sock-puppet just
to get me to talk TO him, rather than mock and taunt him by talking
ABOUT him. Dank does the same thing, as I expect this current wanker
will.

Poking you with a pointy stick is going to be fun, son. For one thing,
you get poked and you immediately launch into Net k00k mode. None of
this waiting around for weeks like with some of the other frothing
loons. Nuh-uh. You jump right to the Net stalking, do not pass GO, do
not collect $200. All because you got lightly spanked for posting
pig-ignorant nonsense. Like I say, you're going to be fun.

Doubt he has noticed considering the signal to noise ratio is very low
lately (in both froups). Actually it is hard to not reply to a post that you
are involved in really given the constant 'did not, did too' discussions
you have going on.

Can I get a witness?

I guess there's no cultural difference between US blacks and US
whites, eh? Taste in foods--spices especially--has a very great deal
to do with cultural context. Now, it may be that in some parts of
this country, there's no cultural differences--but I've never seen
one. Sure, in any given area, there's mixing; whites who love soul
food, blacks who don't, etc.

Kevin lives in Idaho. Even black folks are white there.

They all eat taters out of a box, white bread, canned peas and corn, and
salisbury steak. Weee-doggy, that's some up home soul food if I ever heard
of it!


Seriously, I was in the sawtooth mountains when I was a child and it was
some of the most beautiful country I've ever seen......

Kevvie wasn't there of course.........Or maybe he was the one we hog tied
and squirted 3 tubes of toothpaste up his ass.

That would explain a lot.

I know beautiful country. Live in the Puget Sound country, grew up

(and of course Western Canada as well) is chock-full of great scenery.

Well, then, you're just the guy to answer these questions:

What spices do black people like? How about white people? How do you
know they like them?

Just TRYING to answer those questions ought to show you how fatuous
the original comment is.

PS: I heard tha black people like salt. White people don't.

Totally a non sequitur. Where did I claim to have such knowledge?
Hell, I'm not altogether sure what spices *I* like. (I know several I
dislike)
Why don't you email 'Change Smoker' and ask him? While you're at it,
tell him how his remarks are fatuous and pigheaded.

I bet you could get his email address from ImperialKamado, or from
Mojave Hot Stuff BBQ, or maybe the Institute for Black Parenting. (he
was one of many who contributed time and food to a picnic for them
this August)

Since you don't seem likely to do that, pray plug the leak just below
your nose.

Do you have a point? If so, take off your cap so we can see it.

Are you rearing up on your hind legs to defend the use of that term in

As far as rearing up on my hind legs, I'd rather be a knuckle walker than a
