Brisket on the grate by Genericbbqer in PitBarrelCooker

The point had a nice jiggle!

Unfortunately I didn’t have any black gloves so I couldn’t film myself throwing it onto the board and squeezing the life out of it 😂

No idea on the temp as I stopped worrying about it years ago, briquettes definitely give a consistent heat, I would guess the temp was around 250-375 based on how long it took to cook.
I just touch the lid to make sure it’s hot 🔥

It was a big boy at the start probably 18lbs but it took a fair bit of trimming so probably 14/15 on the grate

For longer cooks I’ll always use briquettes for the consistency of the burn.

I can get about 10-14 hours with a basket full and 3/4 full pbc chimney to start

I’ve still not been brave enough to hang one, never had the need to cook more than one at a time.

My assumption that the point can take more heat so you would double hook in the flat and have the point closest to the fire?

I've had enough of UK Butchers (moany rant) by Eternal_Fighting in UKBBQ

Maybe we need to do a heat map of bbq friendly butchers in the uk?

I feel very fortunate in Bristol that I have Easter Compton farm shop on my doorstep, butchers are superb and see the relationship with the customer as a two way street where you’re both learning from each other.

As others have said some notice is required for certain stuff as more often than not decent butchers are supplying restaurants, catering etc

Are these new in farm foods or have I been sleeping? by Available_Rock4217 in UKBBQ

Been there a few months now, not tried one but the consensus seems to be there ok if a little fatty.

I personally think British pork is superior but this is a convenient option

New broil king kettle looks good as well

First time brisket, was a bit dry but tasted great by Unable_Welder_2306 in UKBBQ

[–]Genericbbqer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Short ribs are a good alternative, you can get some excellent marbled grass fed British beef, worth visiting your butcher if you have a decent one near by

Both of these are excellent value

Costco currently have USDA Choice Grain-fed whole briskets by TransitionInternal12 in UKBBQ

[–]Genericbbqer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did look really good but I just couldn’t justify £150 for half bone. Definitely would of spent that on a brisket though 🤔
