Big Green Egg Brisket

This was my first brisket on a large Big Green Egg that I've owned for about a week. It was cooked for 13 hours at a low temp and tasted great. I used Cowboy charcoal and some apple stick from my trees. I loaded the fire bowl up to the top and I never had to reload (even for the beans), in fact there is a decent amount of charcoal left over for my next grilling. Based on what was left I bet I could do a 24 hour and above smoke on a single load (and the Cowboy reviews say it is one of the faster burning lumps).

let the thing cook already. Stop lettin heat out.

@wanabepunkrocker Yup. I do briskets and butts now without opening from when i put it on until the poulder reads the correct temp.

nicely done......are you using the baking plate setter turned upside down under the grill ? i've done well on all meats except brisket. my brisket sucks big time, even when i pile the lump char-wood on one side so the brisket gets indirect heat. i'm going to try a water pan today and see if that helps...good post.....

@lmranch08 plate setter legs up. 210-220 until done. perfect and juicy every time.

@salpi23 the large one should be about $700. thinking about gettin one myself. figure over the course of a few years, it may pay for itself

@HypeTingStudio your an idiot. Try an egg



[EclecticDiscus]

Never meet 1 person who regretted buying an EGG!

@bozbozzy same here. if you look'n - you ain't cook'n.

@HypeTingStudio ... you're an idiot, i can out smoke you any day with the egg. Maybe you can't afford one? QUit talking shit about things you don't know. I would bet you've never used an egg yourself. Just another trashy trashtalker, ignorant douche. Hey kids.... buy the egg, its worth the price, yes it is. Webber is good, but the egg is great. It's quality, heavy duty, basically it's a kiln to smoke your food with. Don't listen to this moron, The Egg is tits!

I have to agree with HypeTingStudio on the Big Green Egg....he just laid an egg with that brisket ! Could have just cooked that in the oven. Those eggs are so expensive and really what good are they ? A Weber grill can cook a better looking brisket than what he just pulled off that Green Egg. I know, I saw me do it hundreds of time ! And I only paid $60 for the Weber about 15 years ago.
