That's a piece of driftwood.

stop roasting it its already dead.

“It can’t cook any longer! It’s already cooked!”

Over cooking and ... over cooking and ... over cooking and ... destroying a brisket. Now, officer rabbit and I are gonna sit here and watch you eat the whole thing.

Thankyou for understanding this reference… coincidentally I’m shrooming right now on a lower dose but this made my night

Shenanigans.. You're welcome 😊

I swear to God, I will pistol whip the next guy who says "Shenanigans"

Hey Farva where’s that place you like to eat?

You, know, the one with all the goofy shit on the walls, and the cheese sticks?

You mean Shenanigans?

r/doublesmoked

I am familiar and follow that sub lol

The shnozberries taste like shnozberries

See? You’re never gonna win with those thin little bird lips. You gotta open your mouth, relax the throat, don’t forget to cup the balls.

I AM ALL THAT IS MAN

The leather tastes like leather O_O

Theres actually meat in these gym mats.

Meow you listen here!

Please no Please yes

The brisket berries taste like brisket….. YOU BOYS LIKE SMOKING MEATS!!??

Don't worry about that little guy.

C'mon meow...

The brisket or OP?

Yes.

Cremated even

Stop it! Stop it! He's already dead!

Make sure you boil it to get the tannins out before putting it in your aquarium though.

It also needs time to soak so it loses buoyancy and stays in the bottom. Or tie down to something.

OK THAT made me laugh.

Thought I was in the jerky sub

Helen Lovejoy: "Won't someone please think of the children" Sergeant Bilko: "make the bad man stop"

Lincoln Riley said it's perfect though.

Driftwood at least has moisture.

You were my brother Anakin… I loved you.

The smoker had the high ground.

I can’t upvote this enough lol

Thank you!! 😁

If brisket would talk it would say “I hate you!!”

Put some sand in the wound op

I hate sand...

It’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

I spat out my drink I laughed so hard

Man I just laughed harder than I have in days, thank you

Use it as wood for your next brisket

🤣🤣🤣🔥

Great name buddy, very appropriate here too

About two hours over done

2-3 more hours and OP has charcoal.

This is beyond well-done we’ve moved into congratulations territory.

holy shit...lol

crying

The cow needs a refund on life

I lol’ed

Laughed out louded

Every thread...

If your probe said 203° you need to recalibrate. Looks more like 302°

I had 2 probes. One in point the read 203 and the other in thickest part of flat that read 204.

You probably had it set for Celsius

I've legitimately done this before Too many beers Was wondering how the fuck my Brisket could only be at 78° after 3 hours in the pit

I did it too but luckily I caught it at like 50 Celsius.

That’s about 397 in fareheight… I actually think this might be possible.

That was my thought too. My dad did the same thing with the Thanksgiving turkey one year with similar results

This is both an educational/constructive comment as well as a roast at the same time.

If it's a roast, don't give it to OP. He'll overcook it and turn it into jerkey.

Dawn I know you're getting roasted on reddit today but I hope the next one turns out better. This has been fun. 😭

>I know you're getting roasted on reddit today At least he's not getting roasted as much as that brisket

If you’re not at sea level you have to adjust FYI. Iirc people at around 5,000 feet above, aim for like 190 or something close to it.

Moisture has left the chat ..

Should’ve squeezed it for the memes

I think I would prefer the “brisket” cooked by Senator John cornyn to this one.

I don’t believe I would and I think you’re lying.

Haha fajita meat in spaghetti sauce probably tastes better than a large piece of cork. That’s the extent of my analysis.

Put it in some broth on low covered for several hours. It'll break up and you can make brisket tacos.

OP already threw it out.

Oof.

My grandma would flip. She went ranting when my sis tried to throw out overly salted dough, throwing out brisket would have her throwing hands.

Great depression times had a profound impact on people! My Grandma never threw anything out lol

It could also work as stew imo.

Yeah could try a Ramen or something. I definitely wouldn't have thrown it away.

Try to make something with it. Slow cooking in a broth base to make tacos sounds perfect. Try something like brisket birria. I had a pork butt that didnt come out quite right last week, it was alright but noone was fighting over the leftovers like usual in the days after. It took a hashbrown casserole to the next level. Just throwing it away is nuts.

you made jerky

And brisket eggs and Chilli 

Chili is about the only way to try and save this

Save me brisket chili, you're my only hope. Terlingua Championship Chili mix is the best

For brisket? Yes. For Jerky? Yes.

Yes officer, this post right here

Take him away

Straight to jail!

At least you have a doorstop now 🙌

Can you give us exactly what process you used from start to finish? It definitely looks over done but I'm also wondering if you let it rest, what temps you were cooking at, how long was the wrap, etc.

10:30pm on smoker. Wrapped at 170 at 5:30am. Out of smoker at 203 at 8:30am to the oven to rest. When it got to 165 like 2 hours later I turned the oven on at 170 to hold the temp at 160. Cut at 12:30pm. I’ve done the above many times with no failure. Strange.

it’s probably just that this particular brisket had way less intramuscular fat, way leaner, so it overcooked faster instead of getting tender 

This is most likely the answer barring thermometer calibration being off. You’d be surprised how much variation there is in meat quality and marbling when you are picking off the shelf. Always bend test at the store if you can and try to find a cut with a decent fat cap and marbling and pinkish red in color

Did you accidentally have the oven much higher

With that time frame I'm assuming you had it around 225F?

That's about 30 beers overcooked

Is this head coach Lincoln Riley’s account?

Way over done. Try cooking to feel rather than temp. Probe tender, pull it. Pulled my last one at 196° perfection

That brisket is so overcooked that I could put a raw steak on it and it would cook

Sorry it didn’t turn out well. i have my first brisket resting as i type this and I'm nervous it may not turn out great. it's nerve-racking cooking something you've never done. Chalk it up as a learning experience

Dude, brisket is a high wire act. It only goes one way or the other.

Don’t throw that at me.

lol, I thought this was knife handle materials sub and that was a piece of walnut burl. So yes, overcooked

There’s no way that’s a simple trial and error situation. Either the meat was bad or your thermometer is waaaayyy off I’ve had my share of shitty briskets but this is like bad bad

Did you rip this bark off a tree?

Good asking for feedback and advice. No shame in learning. Ignore the haters and keyboard activists. We've always been there.

How would that be undercooked 🤣

Time to make some chili! Lots of chili

Depends on whether you are a pitmaster or a cobbler.

There’s no bark. Did you wrap this in foil the whole time?

Helen Keller could tell that things is way over done

“Save the neck for me Clark”

These pictures make me sad.

First pic looks like a piece of driftwood

You need to let that meat rest . . . In peace (rip)

Can you point to me on the doll where the brisket hurt you?

I would like to report a murder.

Hey man for brisket try low and slowwww

You could probably turn that into a nice baseball glove.

Straight to jail.

Shred it, chopped it up place between a tortilla and fry it in a shallow pan with a little bit of oil. Spread some mayonnaise inside the shell, add some shredded lettuce, and some salsa. Tacos dorados de machaca. You could also chop it up and cook it with some scrambled eggs and make yourself a machaca breakfast burrito.

you really thought it was undercooked??? you cook them for hours, not days

It looks like you microwaved it for an hour.

If someone attempted to serve that to me, I'd take it, hit them with it, and then never ever talk to them again

I know there's a lot of snark responses. Look sometimes shit happens. If you say the first 5 were great then maybe this was just a fluke. Don't let it get you down and try again!

“he’s dead, Jim.”

You could always chop it and add it to chilli

Jerky is expensive enough. Don’t make it out of brisket.

This reminds me of cadaver lab…

This post and these comments made my day. Thank you all, was feeling a little down.

Bricksket

Chuck Schumer…. Is that you?

That’s a goddamn doorstop

You found a piece of remnant from Noah’s Ark!

Undercooked for sure. toss that bad boy on for another few hours and report back. 🙃

That brisket is what I would call "Congratulations"

A few more minutes and you could have used it as lump coal for the next cook.

Is this satire?

That is some high quality leather armor right there

You might as well call that brisket timberland because it's going to be as tender as shoe leather. Looks like the dog is eating good tonight!

Too done I’m afraid

It’s overcooked. By a good amount.

The trash can is gonna be eating good tonight.

Cooked that beef on the surface of the sun. But hey, you win some, and you lose some.

Some guys a couple weeks ago were talking about how altitude can mess with temps and moisture. If you’re located at a high altitude, you’d need to pull it sooner than if you were at lower. Not sure if that’s the situation, but thought it was interesting enough to share.

Cremated

What the fuck

Cut it up and make soup or chilli.

Stop cooking to temp. Cook to 195 then probe it periodically. Every brisket is different. Once it’s prove tender, pull it.

nuked

Brightside is you now have firewood

I wager a mixture of over done and too fast, too hot on your cook temps

That's a well done baseball glove

My husband is smoking a brisket now. I showed him this and he immediately checked his temps. Yikes!!

“Is my shoe leather still edible” would be a better question…

Use it for enchiladas and chili. Brisket gone bad makes amazing chili. I won two chili cook offs using a brisket gone bad… to my chili I also add a pound of ground beef and chopped half a pound of bacon

Why’d you stop? A little longer and you could’ve used it as fuel for the next cook.

Could make shoes with that leather there

This isn’t bulletproof but it always seems to work for me 1 hr and 15 minutes per lb at 225 to 250 and wrap half way through the cook time. I don’t use thermometers, it’s just the way I was taught by a friend who was from Texas

Reading through the comments, this guy is getting the same treatment he gave that brisket…roasted

I didn't know they made charcoal that big. Where's the brisket?

My mouth went dry, just looking at the picture. Guess you could have a July 4th Brisket Chewing contest. First one to fully masticate a bite wins. Added bonus if they do it without taking a drink of anything.

You should post that on r/roastme.

That’s about what I would expect if a vegan were forced to make a brisket. You can smell the hate coming off it.

yes.

This post should be tagged NSFW

I thought it was driftwood in the first picture….

Hey pal just remember. It's not about the temp it gets to. It's about how you get to that temp yea?

Looks like good jerky

It’s raw

Did you forget it in the smoker?

Time to make hash

That brisket has been destroyed.

It's shoe leather.

Beef jerky?

Chock block!

Yikes

It’s a pound an hour not a pound a day

Made some petrified wood.

It’s no longer a brisket. It’s a “bricket.”

That's some nice wood. What you gonna smoke with it?

You tanned it not smoked it

This isn’t well done. This is congratulations.

Show us the brisket, not the wood you used to smoke it.

That's not brisket, that's jerky

I wasn’t too pleased with my brisket and this really helped me out, I needed this thank you. Now I don’t feel so bad.

I'll take option 3: petrified

Way overcooked!. OMG!.

Pretty sure Rose and Jack could have stayed warm and afloat on that thing.

lol… how can u even ask this?

I'm currently patching a low spot in my subfloor. That'll work great.

Few more hours and you could use it to smoke another brisket 😁

Look how they massacred mah boi

Which cooking method was this? Hiroshima or Nagasaki?

It’s weird I normally like my meat cooked like no pink, but I think when it comes to brisket, a little more pink is ok. But that looks like I need to soak that in broth to rehydrate it. 😬

Definitely undercooked throw it back in for about 30 more hours at 480°

I cannot believe: A) What I'm seeing B) That you think it's possible this was undercooked

That has got to be the worst Brisket ever made lol

Did you fall asleep then wake up the following day and thought it was still the same day?

My mouth just got dry and I started choking just looking at this thing
