MadMedik Posted September 3, 2016 Report Posted September 3, 2016 Hello i have been wanting to do a brisket cook. A few years ago I did a high temp cook that was discussed here on forum. I was researching it again as it had been awhile. I reviewed my "cook notes binder"....which everyone should create to 'remember the cooks' you have done on your Komodo...and I feel I am ready to give it another try. My 2 previous cooks were very good. i found a website post that was helpful to me then and now, and I post it here below for those who may be new and not done a high temp brisket before: http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/brisket4.html give this a check and it may peak you to do a brisket. Easy to prep, about 4 to 5 hour cook.....not the 12 hour or more long slow cook...and still extremely tasty. by the way, I will use the Coffee-Cardamon Brisket rub. What is that? I believe if you search it here on forum you will find recipe. If not, I will post it. LarryR made a video of High Temp brisket cooks. Check that out in Videos. The receipt sounds 'weird', but oh, it is so tasty and different. The plan is to cook a brisket tomorrow. Slight chance I won't......but if I do , I will post pics or certainly post when I do in the next week or so I hope. Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend. MadMedik
Pequod Posted September 3, 2016 Report Posted September 3, 2016 I got my start on a WSM, so many of the techniques on the Virtual Bullet site are where I started. Great stuff there. There's a guy on the BBQ Brethren who goes by the handle of Bludawg that preaches a similar method that is very repeatable. He runs in the range of 275-325, wraps in butcher paper after four hours, then starts probing at five hours. Takes 5-7 hours to cook and another 1-2 to rest. His method is very close to Aaron Franklin's (who preaches 275). I tend to run at 275 and get great results, usually done in that 5-7 hour window.
tony b Posted September 4, 2016 Report Posted September 4, 2016 Big fan of Aaron Franklin's brisket cooking method. My standard now.
