Rookie Smoker Series - Brisket advice

[Booray]

The brisket was unreal. Juicy and flavorful. A little difficult to cut but that's what I was expecting since it was resting so long. It didn't matter most people made sandwiches with it anyways. Now the real question is what do I smoke for my daughters b-day party........ Ribs, butt or brisket.......hmmmmmm.

Again thanks for all your help

Well done, Greg!  Glad everyone enjoyed it.

I'm going to enjoy some of this leftover brisket tomorrow and was wondering what is a good way to reheat to keep tenderness.

A couple days later, I'll make an au jus and do brisket French dips.  I reheat some of the brisket in the au jus and then pour little bowls of broth for dipping.

Looks fantastic, Greg!  What really helps with slicing, on a very tender brisket, is a good-quality Granton-edge carving knife.  I have a Vicotorinox that works great, and is an affordable option for those difficult slicing jobs.  You can make some really thin, or clean slices with one.
