Food Smoked Brisket on Father's Day

[Brownie]

Dad passed seven years ago at the age of 98. He loved Barbeque, and especially favored ribs. Rather than visit him on Father's Day, for about the last 20 years of his life I had him over for ribs. It started with grilling, but I eventually learned to smoke. I still cook on Father's Day, partly in his remembrance and partly because I enjoy it. And while we eat plenty of ribs, this year I decided to do a Full Packer Brisket. Cellphone shots

13lb., trimmed and dry brined Friday evening. Back in the fridge

Homemade rub, ready for the smoker

The smoker prepared. In this case, the smoker is a Weber Premier Kettle Grill. I have several methods to cook, including a huge smoker, but I love my kettles.

Bark formed, hit the stall, time to wrap.

Wrapped in foil, then towels and a cooler to act as a faux cambro. The brisket can rest and will remain hot until dinner.

Looks very tasty Tim. Great way to remember your old man. We love our Weber Kettle BBQ too. Never cooked anything that big on it though!

The best ways to evoke memory and emotion. Taste, smell and sound.

Looks the goods mate!

And the end result!

Nice smoke ring, plenty juicy and tender. Cutting the Flat. The Point is setting behind on the other tray.

A classic dinner. Texas smoked brisket, southern style salt pork green beans, mashed potato salad, and baked beans.
No Nouvelle Cuisine here, just good eats!
