Well I broke down and bought a brisket today for 4.99lb. I asked Ralph for his help (thank you). I trimmed off a lot of fat. I have a hard time following others recipe as I like to make it my own, but the procedure I follow. I made up a rub with pepper, salt, yellow sugar, paprika and montreal steak spice. patted the brisket dry, rubbed with yellow mustard then rubbed in the dry rub. Wrapped as Ralph said and into the fridge till tomorrow AM. if it doesn't turn out I won't be able to blame Ralph. here a picture before fridge, forgot to take photo before it was wrapped.

Starting my Brisket tomorrow. Costco had them on for $4.77/lb for Triple AAA grade beef. I know Loblaws had them on for $3.99, buy not triple AAA, so I up-sold myself. First time doing Brisket....

Well I took it out of oven when temp was at 206. Let it sit for pretty much an hour. tasted ok, was dry. Don't know what I was expecting. I really done remember what Ralphs tasted like, but it was really good so thinking mine wasn't up to snuff.

Hi Steve
Sorry it didn't turn out as hoped.
It looks burnt around the edges? I've never had that happen on mine.
How much liquid was in the foil when you unwrapped? I usually find--1/2 to 2/3rds of a cup.
If you look back at my posts where I included pictures, your meat looks a lot different than mine? Not sure why.
When you bought the brisket was it vaccuum sealed? If it was, was there a lot of liquid in the packaging? The ones I have bought have had very little liquid in the packaging and the meat has been very moist to work with.
It looks to me like it lost a lot of moisture somewhere along the line?
Where you bought it, are they known to sell good quality meat?

it was vac sealed, with little moisture. I probably had 3 cups of liquid. I bought it from a well know meat shop/groceries. Tastes good, will do this again.

so I sliced the rest of the brisket and froze in half pound vac bags. Had hot brisket sandwich for supper. I took the juice minus the fat, added some cornstarch to make gravy. Now that was really good,
smoking brisket, 1st time for me
