I wasn't gonna buy a brisket I swear. I was just window shopping I mean it. There were 3 in the case. 2 selects, one was stiff and rigid, the other was decent. I'd say a 6 or 7 on my floppyness scale. The other was a choice and she was loose. I'd give her a 9 flop rating. For me this is the number one indicator of a good brisket, I don't even look at the grade first. I had a long week and needed to relax so I justified the purchase as therapeutic.
Pretty standard cook for me. My standard rub, mustard slather, cherry wood on the stick burner.
I am doing one thing different, something I've never done before. I'm cooking this brisket fat cap up.
Was it a mistake? Only time will tell.
