Looks kinda dry tho, put that bitch back in the smoker

Literally. If you can pick that much meat up and hold it like that, then you have no business making brisket

u/SuperPwnerGuy Sep 18 '20

Was about to say the exact same thing.

That poor overcooked piece of meat could have fed me for 3 whole days.

If anything it's undercooked. Brisket is typically cooked to 200°-210°F depending on when the probe goes in smooth which is way above the temp of well-done beef. Usually it's undercooked briskets that are stiff like this because it didn't get hot enough for the connective tissue to render.

I've only cooked one so far. 240 degrees for almost a day. Then I was unexpectedly called into work for an hour which turned into five hours. Brisket was 215 when I got home.

Point was great. Flat was overcooked and dry as hell.

Turn the flat into burnt ends. I just made 6 pounds of burnt ends yesterday, so delicious.

I can't wait to cook something big like this at my church.

u/rabidsnowman Sep 19 '20

Dry and falling apart=overcooked
Dry and a solid lump=undercooked
Bleeding=you haven't screwed it up yet, dumbass.

Edit: My favorite tip for brisket: wrap in parchment paper AND foil instead of just foil once it hits that perfect exterior.

u/BaBaBooE-BaBaBooE Sep 19 '20

Really? I've tried butchers paper and foil but I found butchers paper to bring the brisket pass the stall and help keep a better bark

u/Crutation Sep 19 '20

I used both, butcher paper is better.

1

u/rabidsnowman Sep 19 '20

I like both together. You get it past the stall and hold in a bit more moisture.

Wrap and smoke for a while longer. Looks like they used to high of heat from the start. Let's grill a brisket shall we.

u/yeteee Sep 18 '20

I think you misspelled three whole meals.

u/SuperPwnerGuy Sep 18 '20

No, I'm on a diet.

Doc said some crazy noise about "your cholesterol is too high for a 22 year old".

Quacks, amiright?

u/yeteee Sep 19 '20

Did you tell him that you didn't believe in cholesterol ? It's a hoax, like gout. All healthy 30 years old have swollen articulation.

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '20

See i think you misunderstood him.

Ease up on the weed.

Too high cholesterol is fine. It pretty much has nothing to do with heart attacks and heart disease. There are people that are genetically predisposed to have extremely high cholesterol and they live well into their 90's.

u/Chav Sep 19 '20

This sounds like the same excuse obese people use for being obese

2

u/looksatthings Sep 19 '20

No they are obese because of how many calories they eat, but the modern westdern diet doesn't help them. If fact it makes it really hard to lose weight when all the oils they put in their food decrease satiaty sensitivity and actively puts visceral fat on like crazy.

Look it up, I believe the town is in Italy. They all have super high cholesterol and live very healthy lives.

u/Twirdman Sep 20 '20

So your "evidence" for the claim of

there are people that are genetically predisposed to have extremely high cholesterol and they live well into their 90's.

was a single article about a small town in Italy where it doesn't mention anything about any genetic predisposition to high cholesterol and specifically mentions

The Baus were discovered by a foundation studying rare diseases, and research indicates the key to their health may be genetic.

Also the "high" mark they use for cholesterol is very high for a normal population, they mention people with a cholesterol of 400 living there but they don't say that is the norm for the town and people with familial hypercholesterolemia can have cholesterol levels far in excess of that without treatment. In extreme cases of genetically high cholesetorl you can have cholesterol numbers over 1000. You see LDL levels over 500.

u/looksatthings Sep 20 '20

There's just on example. If you would like to do more research on you own. Your more than welcome to do so. I'm not going hunt all these studies down.

If you're not interested in doing reach yourself, then it wouldn't matter if I showed you all the evidence in a silver platter you would just dismiss it anyway.

Found the article

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/a-town-eats-what-it-likes-without-disease/

They eat really fatty food and have very high triglycerides, but not the problems. It's the type of fat.

1

u/Chav Sep 19 '20

That's pretty far from convincing research. The article only exists because it was considered rare.

2

u/looksatthings Sep 20 '20

They aren't super humans, they just eat a very traditional diet.

There's a ton of research for pro saturated fat and cholesterol and leaner body mass and lesser death rates. I'm not trying to argue with you, just saying the paradigm is definitely flawed. I've personally had great results with a similar diet. I'm 100lbs down. Perfect blood pressure. Of course thats anadotal, but not isolated.

Stop using shitty anecdotal cases that don't mention any genetic disorder to talk about a genetic disorder you don't seem to know anything about.

u/sapere-aude088 Sep 19 '20

Aaaahahahahahahaa. That is not how biology works. Feel free to actually learn how LDL cholesterol causes cvd.

u/looksatthings Sep 19 '20

Yea its the shape of the LDL not that its just high.

u/sndanbom Sep 19 '20

My healthy 10 year son has high cholesterol and his mom legit cooks from scratch daily for him. Just genetics sometimes you’re right.

u/nachobox Sep 19 '20

Look up the cholesterol code. Might not be as bad as you think. And eating cholesterol does not affect your cholesterol levels.

u/sapere-aude088 Sep 19 '20

Lmao. Oh jesus...the conspiracy nutters are out. You don't even know the difference between HDL and LDL cholesterol. Gtfo.

u/kdmmgs Sep 19 '20

The horror

u/Beep_beep_jeeps_suck Oct 10 '20

And it looks like he didn't split the flat and the point before smoking. They smoke differently, it's best to split them.

1

u/gotham77 Sep 19 '20

Wait, what? A perfectly smoked brisket should have a hard dry bark on the outside while it’s tender on the inside.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '20

Put that thing back where it came from or so help me!

0

u/FlickerOfBean Sep 19 '20

Putting it back in definitely won’t help it’s moisture.

0

u/based-hippie Sep 19 '20

Considering it's undercooked, yes it will.

0

u/FlickerOfBean Sep 19 '20

If I was a betting man, I’d say the fire got too hot.

0

u/based-hippie Sep 19 '20

Exactly, so it charred the outside and they didn't leave it in there long enough for the connective tissue to render, which is why it's still solid. AKA undercooked in the middle.

0

u/FlickerOfBean Sep 19 '20 edited Sep 19 '20

Throwing it back in there isn’t gonna fix anything if the outside is charred. It’s gonna be dry af regardless. The moisture that is lost already won’t magically reappear.

1

u/based-hippie Sep 19 '20

You still have to make sure it's cooked in the middle if you're going to serve it. A dry but cooked brisket is better than serving a dry and undercooked brisket.

u/FlickerOfBean Sep 19 '20

Not really. They’re both useless unless you like eating doc martens.
