Brisket Sunday

It is just after 11:00AM and I have just place a brisket on the barbecue.  I am expecting this to take about seven hours, the first part, getting it up to 170 degrees should take up to five hours.

The one thing I missed in my preparation for this cook is I did not make sure my Bluetooth meat thermometer was charged. The brisket is on with another thermometer while I charge the MEATER. I really love using the MEATER because it gives me so much information.

It shows me my target temp, the actual temp of the meat and the ambient temperature of the barbecue. Once it has had some time to assess everything, it will even give me an estimated time to reach my target.

I’m going to give it another 20 minutes and then I’ll switch out thermometers.🌡️ 

It’s almost 3:30 and I have about 20 minutes to go on my brisket cook. Then I’m going to stick it in a cooler and let it cool to 160. 

At that point, I will cut it up and it will be ready to serve. We’re not serving it for dinner until tomorrow. We have invited our neighbors, Tammy and Lou over to thank them for looking after Delilah when we went to California.

4:05PM: Okay, the cook is done and the roast is in the cooler. I’ll be keeping an eye on it until it gets to 160. Let’s see how long it takes.
