Brisket pot roast 3-10-2015
The things you find when you're not looking.
I chanced upon the infamous, tough, ornery cut of meat the brisket.
Because my intelligence didn't feel complete insulted by the per kilo price of the $11
I put it in my shopping trolley with some nice grass fed scotch fillet steak which will be for tonight's bbq.
To Brine or Not to Brine – That is the Question

Re: Brisket pot roast 3-10-2015
So this is more the rolled meat from top of the ribs right? Does this bbq up well or is it more for braising?

I have BBQed a brined one before (stout brine) and it was alright. The more I learn the more I think a flavored braise would be the ticket. Start in the smoke then wrap her up with some nice flavor. Take some creative license and go to town

More likely the Brisket flat with the point removed, then rolled.burb wrote:So this is more the rolled meat from top of the ribs right? Does this bbq up well or is it more for braising?
I've done heaps of these, they cook up well, it is the leaner cut of the brisket, so it can dry, so I do it in a deep cast iron pot with a nice braising liquid to keep it moist....a cross between Grandma's Pot Roast and Low and Slow BBQ!
Injecting butter into it or larding will help keep it moist.

I cooked one last week and followed grandmas way of cooking it.
I browned it off in a cast iron pot then deglazed with a cup of red, returned the joint with carrots, celery, onion, swede, turnip, 6 peeled cloves of garlic added 2 cups of beef stock, 2 tblsp Worcestershire sauce,3 sprigs of rosemary and some thyme.
Threw it in a low oven about 140 c for 6 hrs and you could easily put a skewer through it.
It does leave a ton of fat behind so I removed the meat and double wrapped with foil then towel, pour off all the pan juice and straight into the freezer for an hour to set, then you can scoop off the fat before reheating and thicken with cornflour.
I didn't have the balls to BBQ it

Good luck, keep us posted
Re: Brisket pot roast 3-10-2015
Decided to just go with a dry rub the night before the cook.
1 teaspoon coarse salt (cooking salt)
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
For the cook, I am planning 5 hours then 3 hours rapped and 1/2hr rest.

Re: Brisket pot roast 3-10-2015
Looking good. What's the go with the probe in the onion?

Holds the temp probe off the grill. Onion is just like a probe holder. (For pit temp probe)AnzacPaul wrote:Looking good. What's the go with the probe in the onion?
Re: Brisket pot roast 3-10-2015
I don't want my onion to over cook and I find it's a good way of reading the temp at grill level.AnzacPaul wrote:Looking good. What's the go with the probe in the onion?
Re: Brisket pot roast 3-10-2015
Things have gone off the rails at the 4hr mark.
I couldn't keep the temp within a good range and at one point was breaching 160c at the grill, even dumping 1/2 the coals out seemed to have minimal effect.
At 87c internal temp I decided to abandon the kettle and move the meat to a more controlled environment.

Re: Brisket pot roast 3-10-2015
Did u try putting a pan of water in there?
Re: Brisket pot roast 3-10-2015
By that temp the meat won't take on any more smoke flavour anyway so shouldn't make much difference.buzzawak wrote:
