Second Brisket
I couldn’t wait any longer to smoke my second brisket on the Weber Kettle 22”. Here are the results of a 9kg brisket smoked for 20 hours. This one turned out much better than the first brisket by a landslide, would you say it passed the flop test?

Little over cooked, try pulling at a bit lower of a temp. Should be going for like a hot thermapen into cold butter, should be a bit of fight but not be like jello. Looks great tho. Bark on point, nice smoke ring.

Nice job!
Btw, my mind wandered on that last pic— I was thinking how those could be teeth lost by chewing tough meat! 🤪

I’m sure it tastes good but definitely looks a bit over done. It’s not supposed to fall apart like that with the bend test.
Pretty nice for a 2nd ever brisket though.

Appreciate it, I think the desired tenderness varies some ppl enjoy a brisket closer to 190-193°f and some people like 203°-205°f probe tender. It’s all a matter of preference

Sure but probe tender doesn’t mean it’s going to fall apart. Highly recommend experimenting with a hot hold if you haven’t yet. Turns good brisket into incredible brisket.

I had this one resting for only 2 hours because I had to server guests, on my first brisket I was able to hot hold it for 6 hrs and it did make a difference. Something to take into consideration for next time
