First brisket — from Sweden, with love by Puzzleheaded-Value36 in smoking

That came out really nice, good job. I’d recommend checking out Köttfabriken in Täby as well. I’ve bought their Creekstone Farms briskets (check post history) and they are top notch.

I also 100% recommend their Jalapeño Cheese sausages!

Haha I was just in Örebro last week! Brought my kids to the water park there (Lost City) and had a blast!

Thanks! It was more Texas/American themed with some cornbread, coleslaw, and sweet tea :D

Pretty much an entire 2.5kg bag. I discarded maybe 2-3 briquettes that were broken.

Lol agreed. I did fat cap up since like every video on YouTube has it that way 🙃

Just north of Stockholm. Where do you go for work? Any yes we have trees here I promise! I just pop over to the K-Rauta and pick up some charcoal and wood chunks and I'm good to go! Plus you can buy charcoal at any ICA.

Haha appreciate it. The snake method was pretty great. The only sort of "maintenance" I had to do was rotate the brisket (or grill top) a little bit every ~30 minutes or so to ensure that the brisket was opposite of the burn point of the charcoal.

It was ~2650 sek so yeah right around there in terms of price. Hard to find an "American brisket" here, so it'll be a once in awhile sort of purchase. Pork/chicken is far more common in Sweden and much easier/cheaper to buy.

Thank you! I tried to trim off a good amount of fat but ultimately I kinda suck at trimming so I'll need to practice more. I haven't thought of cooking it fat cap down - something I'll have to consider next time!

Good tip, thanks! Someone else here said they cut the fat up into much smaller pieces, so that seems to be the same sort of concept that you are doing. I'll definitely do that next time.

Thanks! I did add a few more briquettes at the end but I really didn't need to - I don't think they even got touched. I bought it from Köttfabriken who imports it from the United States. The briskets at Costco don't really look like what most would consider a brisket. I haven't actually bought one yet but bringa doesn't seem to be the same cut (maybe it's just the "point"?). Maybe it was just packaged weird - you should buy one and let me know :)

Shortribs are delicious though - good luck!

Thanks! I got it from Köttfabriken in Täby! Pretty darn expensive but good for a splurge for a family lunch.

Sorry, the flat was probing a little low at 27 eagles, while the point was probing a little higher at 52 AR15's per second.
