First Brisket Cook

Recommended Posts

You certainly can, but I’m not sure it’s beneficial. The moisture retention due to the efficiency of the kk is second to none, to the point I regularly see puddles of moisture on the ground below the draft door. I’m also not sure of the benefit for the same reason I cook fat cap down. As a protein heats, moisture is expelled, not absorbed, so I don’t believe additional moisture in the grill will help.

The cook went really well. I put the brisket on the KK at 10:00 PM Friday evening. The KK stayed steady and cook well overnight. It finished about 4:00 PM Saturday. We let it rest for about two hours and then ate it. My wife and kids enjoyed it. I reheated some yesterday (Sunday) for a block party. It was devoured almost instantly and the feedback was very positive. For the block party, we also made some smoked Mac & Cheese.

Two things.. 
I can't begin to tell you how much better an overnight rested brisket is..
My new minimum is 12 hours and as long as 18.  Takes that long to redistribute the juices.
I also add Wagu fat/tallow to the wrap and rest.. You can buy on Amazon in a big black tub.
Just wanted to point out you have your basket splitter set up for a left-handed person..

You must have been watching Mad Scientist BBQ vids on YouTube! I've been using the Wagyu beef tallow (cold smoked first) for months now. I also have used smoked leaf lard (pork) on my pork cooks.

Dennis do you use a warming drawer for that long of a rest? Or does it maintain a hot enough temp in a cooler to be safe to eat?
