Smoking Brisket Island

Tom offered up a brisket that he didn’t have time to cook. I agreed thinking it was gonna be a flat. To my surprise it was a whole brisket, 11 lbs of beef! It was too big for my dutch oven so I cut it in half thinking I was going to do one in the oven and one on the grill. I couldn’t find the ingredients for the pomegranate braised version so I did both on the grill. I was naive and started it at 1:00 PM, which means I was smoking well into the night. The flat didn’t turn out as tender as I wanted, but the point side so excellent. Not bad for a 1st time.

We had brisket, rice & brussel sprouts for dinner. Thanks Tom.
