I would have to agree with this! Tried my first naked brisket this weekend and it was phenomenal!!! 10.5 pounds and took about 18 hours at 225No wrap - keep it naked start to finish unless time is a constraint.
NICE!! I was nervous as h**l the first time i didnt wrap - then I asked why was I wrapping....I would have to agree with this! Tried my first naked brisket this weekend and it was phenomenal!!! 10.5 pounds and took about 18 hours at 225
I tried but now in the winter time running my WSM with all vents open and can barely reach 250 using the minion method.NICE!! I was nervous as h**l the first time i didnt wrap - then I asked why was I wrapping....
you can cut the time down quite a bit if you run the temp at 250-275 too.
I hear ya! I started on a WSM 14. she didnt like the cold at all. Running a Rec Tec Bull now.I tried but now in the winter time running my WSM with all vents open and can barely reach 250 using the minion method.
stupid question How do you tell when it gets to 160.Don't worry about too much smoke. Once the meat temperature reaches around 140-145°, it will quit taking smoke.
If I'm wrapping, I will do it when the flat hits 160-165°.
