More Home Brisket 6/17/12

Just pulled off a 17 pound USDA choice brisket after 19 and a half hours on the little bullet smoker.  First samples are excellent!  Letting it rest an hour before slicing.  $1.99/pound at Albertson's this weekend.  This one had much less fat than the last one, only about a pound and a half needed to be trimmed off.  As usual, we needed to slice it in half before smoking to make it fit in our little bullet.

After resting we sliced it up with half for the freezer for later and the other half for the fridge for this week.  It ended up being just a bit overcooked, but the smoke flavor throughout is marvelous. No sauce needed!
