Easter Brisket 2025

[Dustin Dorsey]

I cooked a Brisket for Easter this year. It's been a while since I've gotten to cook one.

Seasoned with Kosher salt, 16 mesh black pepper and Franklin BBQ Spice.

Franklin pit fired up with post oak.

Brisket cooking. I kept the pit around 260 until the stall and let it get closer to 300 after the wrap.

I foiled the ends here about about 4 or 5 hours.

Wrapped.

Finished brisket.

Sliced shot. I messed up the trim and left too much fat but the fat was delicious.

Shot of the point.

Another sliced picture.

Plated.
This was probably on of my best briskets ever despite messing up the trim a little bit. Foiling the ends helped. The Franklin pit has a ton of convection and sometimes the point end facing the fire can get blasted. The end cut of the flat was delicious. Thanks for looking. Happy Easter!

Great looking brisket for sure.

It's been so long since I've done a brisket. A halfway decent brisket is so hard to find around here.

Wunderbar !

I too love the fat--between the flat & point. SWMBO doesn't understand why I want the fat she cuts off her slice and leaves on the side of her plate
