last fall I bought a 1/4 steer, with it came the most ridicules little piece of brisket as part of my share. I defrosted it last night wrapped in a towel on the kitchen counter. I know that is not the recommended method, but It works.
The smoke went like this:
Mixed 2 cups Hoover Sauce and 2 cups water in a gallon zip top bag and added the brisket to soak for five hours.
Removed meat and seasoned with equal parts, fresh ground black pepper, kosher salt & raw sugar with a 1/2 tablespoon of granulated garlic.
Placed cold meat in cold smoker with 3.2 oz sugar maple and small loaf pan. Hoover sauce and water mix was poured into loaf pan.
Smoked at 235 for 1.5 hours hit an IT of 192, was pulled out double wrapped in foil and rested for fifteen minutes.
I had a late start on my mac&cheese so I made it in the oven. It was a pretty good meal. I sliced it thin and served it with some KC Masterpiece. When I made the comment "I should have made Corned Beef my wife stated "I don't know about that" Looks like I will need to buy more brisket.
This is Hoover Sauce: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hoover-Sauce/187103571331024 I highly recommended it.
