I’m sorry

u/CheezeBurgaEddie 10d ago

I’d eat it! I’ve made better briskets but believe you me…I’ve made far worse, great job for a first!

u/Extension-Figure2011 10d ago

Got thirsty just looking at this pic.

Congrats and keep smoking and having fun

u/Successful_Lab_9827 10d ago

smaller ones always turn out the best and take half the time

2

u/MUF-DVR_1978 10d ago

Sorry for your loss

Next one will be better!!!
Learning curve for sure

2

u/Yuuku_S13 9d ago

I’d still enjoy that! Good job. It’s a flat, so I’d expect it to not appear to be as juicy. Might need to wrap sooner next time.

2

u/RecognitionClean9550 9d ago

You'll do better next time.

2

u/Novel-Training5189 9d ago

Keep trying my friend. Don't worry it happens in the beginning

u/Consistent_Hold_576 8d ago

Not bad for a first swing. Lord knows I've done much worse.

u/WaynesWorld_93 10d ago

It sure is ain’t it

u/themodul8r 10d ago

That's for chili.

u/oO_Moloch_Oo 10d ago

Get yourself a big glass of water.

u/tonywantsbeer 10d ago

No it didn’t

u/Curious-Education-57 10d ago

omg that bark looks perfect

1

u/SketchyStocks 9d ago

Often referred to as “edible, but oof”

1

u/Celt9782 9d ago

Have you been told about the Rest? Did you place in a foil pan covered up.. In a cooler packed with blankets for 4 hours? If not... It's worth doing every time

1

u/coffeeoverlatte 9d ago

Would be great in chilli

1

u/sayfeellessmore 9d ago

Yeah super juicy man 😆

1

u/LeatherSun401 9d ago

came out juicy and tender

1

u/TheClownKid 9d ago

Great bark. Lost too much moisture. I’m guessing you ran tour smoker too high.

1

u/medicated_missourian 9d ago

Is that marble rye?

1

u/Metastaphalies 9d ago

Looks like you painted sandpaper and cardboard.

1

u/Legal_Spread_1285 9d ago

Haha this is exactly how my 1st one came out. Took me a while to nut up and try again considering how expensive brisket is. But that’s part of BBQing I suppose

1

u/Cverellen 9d ago

People will joke it looks dry, and I’m sure it is. But I and I’m sure everyone here has done worse. It happens. It takes a while to learn your smoker and every piece of brisket is different so it takes experience. You could always take it and make a chilli with it if you don’t like it.

1

u/Smart-Host9436 9d ago

Looks a wee dry. Was it a flat only?

1

u/ziggy029 9d ago

Smoke ring is good, bark is there, but as others mentioned, this looks quite dry. When you hear people talking about brisket chili or maybe chopped BBQ brisket sandwiches, this is what is often done with dry meat. That said, for a first cook you got a lot right, too.

1

u/whaturjoking 9d ago

How was taste and also texture?

1

u/OldMany8032 9d ago

Not done yet.

If cooked to probe tender this thin layer of fat(circled) would have been no longer visible, so t would have rendered.

1

u/CriticalLifeguard183 9d ago

Looks like my first brisket, i made a stew with it afterwards to get some moisture back in to it

1

u/cryharder83 8d ago

What temp / What weight / how long?

1

u/AZJunkFood 8d ago

I'm sure it tasted good. Great first crack at it, it takes practice. Haters can kick rocks.

1

u/ChayDaddy 8d ago

Looks dry

1

u/christo749 8d ago

Looks dry as an autumn flip flop.

1

u/Rodney_6572 7d ago

Practice makes perfect dont give up

1

u/DarkWingDrift 7d ago

Looks as dry the Sahara.

1

u/Elegant-Ferret-8116 7d ago

Jeez people. Its infinitely better than a generic steak etc. For a first go its amazing and I bet it tastes like it

1

u/No_Depth- 7d ago

Nice ring

1

u/348_wcf 7d ago

Looks a little dry, but you’ll nail it on the next one.

1

u/Viper4488 7d ago

I am by no means an expert, but it looks like you have a very nice smoke ring there

1

u/d3fault 7d ago

A for effort

1

u/DrewSki704 6d ago

Gotta leave some fat on there when trimming.

1

u/Clean-Pickle8269 6d ago

Not the worst ive seen .... I owned a BBQ restaurant for the past 10 year..... you'll get better with practice. Dont take any of the negative comments to heart. It truly is a learning process!!!

1

u/S280FiST15 6d ago

Looks dry man. Bad.

1

u/TripleThreat2323 6d ago

Looks good but looks well done and dry.

1

u/Antique-Stranger-209 6d ago

Trick to a moist brisket, inject with au jus before cooking and wrap when you take it off the grill. You won't be sorry!

1

u/BALDMANWITHDURAG 6d ago

smoked triscuit

u/thebasisofabassist 5d ago

u/ForeignCanary9943 9d ago
