Sad news, while the flavor was OK, the poor man's brisket wasn't very amazing. I'm not sure what went wrong this time, but it wasn't moist. I'm going to have to do another and see if I can get poor man's brisket back on track.

It's not a bad eat, but it needs some more help. Braising that ****er (burnt ends) is a good approach. |

No idea why but without the sit I find it gets dry. You might even wrap it in foil at 165F and put back on smoker until it gets to 203 then do the wrap/cooler step. Edit: I just remembered I started wrapping mine in parchment paper at 165 and that made a huge difference. Butchers paper is better I guess but I have parchment and it works. |

Oh well, the taste was good enough, but sauce was required, and it just hasn't compared to previous efforts. |

I'm still just stumped. I don't want to blame the cow, but I've never had this problem with poor man's brisket... |

I've been more than happy with the stuff I've bought from Hyvee in the past, but I'm gonna roll with Costco two packs until I see the more normal ones I'm accustomed to. Got one thawing now for beef and broccoli tomorrow and it's pretty as can be for the same price or even less than what Hyvee has. I think you're safe to blame the butcher moreso than the cow if you had the same experience as I did. |

Thinking very seriously about doing a couple chimichurri marinaded shirt steaks (will make some nice lunch sandies at work) and maybe some tri-tip chili. Getting nipply around here, and chili always seems to hit the spot when my nips can cut glass.

I buy a lot of meat at Hyvee. Prolly a 50/50 split between them and Costco. I really need to get my ass to this place called Upper Cut KC in Liberty because I follow them online and they look like the sort of butcher shop you'd always want to shop at, but I've yet to get my ass over there.
