Had a nice 12 pound clod from a local rancher I needed to use - and wanted to experiment cooking it over direct coals in my Royale Fab direct heat cooker
Night before I injected it with Tony C butter and jalapeño - then gave it a good dusting with both Panther City Beef Rub and Zavalas Brisket Rub
Yesterday i fired up the pit - since I was cooking over direct coals about 24 inches below - went fat cap down for 3 hours (mopped the meat side at 2 hours) - then flipped and went fat cap up (mopped) - and let it go another 2 hours - at the 5 hour mark it was 170 - pulled and mopped both sides, wrapped in foil, and back on pit fat side up for another 45 - 60 minutes until internal was 185 - removed from pit, unwrapped the foil, wrapped in BP and some tallow, and then let rest on counter for 90 minutes or so - then into the warmer last night at 145 for a 14 hour hold until later today -
What a fun way to cook - used maybe a chimney and half of lump the entire cook - with 3 small 10 inch splits -
Won’t know how it turns out until we slice in around 5 - will post a picture or two later tonight of the end result
