Eddie mac Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Last night I trimmed up a brisket 13.5 pounds after trimming.This am at 6am I fired up the KK with smoke pot in place with oak and cherry wood brought KK up to 275 took 1hour and 45 minuets to come to temp it was 17 degrees outside this am.First brisket on a kamado grill I have cook hundreds of briskets in the last 25+years never in a kamado grill.I am very interested to see the results in a kamado verse a offset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Looks like you're in the stall. Any plans to wrap it in pink butcher paper, ala Franklin BBQ, after it clears the stall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie mac Posted January 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Komodo held temps like a camp 273 to 276 the whole time, smoke pot gave smoke for 5 hours and 15 minutes plenty of smoke time I will post picture of smoke pot in am when it cools. I used frontier lump charcoal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrus Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Well, I do see a ring, maybe not as prominent as the others you've made but still looking like a good cook. Lucky son, great dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Ora Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 I see a smoke ring at the end of the day I don't really care about it anymore .I think it comes down to the meat as to how predominant the ring is .that turned out terrific nicely done .lobster and crab fishing sounds like fun .in the summer time don't know about the weather you have lolOutback kamado Bar and Grill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Oh yes! I now know how delicious that must have been, ring or no ring! Any verdict on the comparison with your previous, non KK brisket cooks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Looks good too me. Nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie mac Posted January 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 I have cooked literally hundreds of briskets over the last 25 years so the verdict is much much easier in the Komodo fire maintains itself.The brisket was moist tender but bark was not as set as I am use to but every brisket is different need to do a few more to give a verdict on Komodo or offset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
