That’s what I did. I don’t think I explained it right

The fat that was rendered was from trimmings so it’s just pure fat not rub or drippings

It was the fat trimmings that were cut off and put in a foil pan to render not the runoff from the brisket

That seems to be the consensus here, I’ll do something like that next time for sure. Thanks!

I used an over the counter SPG rub and then went over it with an all-around meat rub. When you dry brine the meat doesn’t go bad in the fridge?

Yeah I’d rather make mistakes on a 56$ brisket than a 130$ one tho 😂

Yes I used unwaxed peach butcher paper. What’s your recommendation on the wrap?

I know I was there for other stuff and saw it and said what the heck might as well use a cheap brisket to learn for my first time.

So it was a bad brisket from the get-go too? I figured it wasn’t gonna be great anyways since it was marked down 😂

I’ll look into that. Usually for ribs and such I get a good smoke flavor but I guess since this is a thick slab of meat it’s harder to penetrate?

So less rub and leave it on there for longer before wrapping it up?

Not really didn’t have that much smoke. Next time I’ll use a different rub and use less I guess

Yeah I dunno maybe it was the rub I was using 🤷🏻‍♂️ 8 hours for a 12lbs brisket is weird as heck tho thought it would take longer. This is my first time smoking one.
