HuskerMan Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Wake up about 5AM and get the brisket going. Relax until the GT/BC kickoff. Watch that. Watch gameday. Put wings on at 10:30AM for lunch. Watch more football. Take brisket off at 5PM to rest. Slice brisket at about 6:30 for dinner. Watch football. Playtime with the 18 month old will be mixed in somewhere. No booze this year which will be tough/different. What is your process for your brisket?do you make the burnt ends or just keep it all in slices?I keep my brisket pretty simple really. I use oak ridge black ops rub. Sometimes I do burnt ends sometimes I slice it all depending upon what hits me that day. General guideline to my process below. 1) Night before take brisket and trim fat cap until there is no more than ¼ left. Apply rub and wrap in Saran wrap overnight in fridge. 2) Take brisket out 30 minutes before it is to go on smoker 3) Place on 225-250 degree smoker fat cap up. Cooking with 50/50 combination of hickory and cherry regardless on if Im cooking on the pellet cooker or offset. 4) Cook until ~ 165 (or until desired bark color is achieved) then wrap in tin foil or brown butcher paper. Add au jus or broth if desired. Cook until tender. 5) Once tenderness has been achieved, if it is wrapped I unwrap the brisket for roughly 15 minutes to stop/slow down the cooking process inside the tin foil. I then wrap it back up and let it sit for preferably 2+ hours with a minimum of 1+ if there is a time crunch. One other thing. If your new to cooking brisket always make sure you slice against the grain when you cut it. Quote Link to comment

Savage Husker Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 7am tee time with my brother and a couple friends, finish up in time to catch the restof the early games at my place. Hoping for a warm sunny day to head over to my friend's house with a pool for afternoon games. Usually watch Husker games with my Dad and brother, so head to my parents - Old man had knee replaced 2 weeks ago - to do the cooking/grilling and drinking and yelling. Quote Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 We have to go boating with neighbors because the wives were too scared to say "No, we don't want to", and then hopefully be back home at 5:00, so I can get ready for kickoff at 6:00. I thought you got out of that??? I got out of the Friday night camping, but we now have to go up to the lake and hang out with them during the day. Super lame. IDK but it seems like you've got a pretty serious cold coming on. Probably will get real bad Friday afternoon. You should probably wait until Friday night and call to let them know you're feeling under the weather and won't be able to make it. 1 Quote Link to comment

You should get a second opinion. So here's mine: you also don't look good. Quote Link to comment
