Fist Pump Friday: I Love You Like A Blogger Roundup – 7/24

In last week’s fist pump session, I mentioned I was taking the day off to make a brisket.  I introduced some new things into my process that I had seen on the TV show BBQ Pitmasters, and the result was the best brisket I’ve ever made.  I had a fantastic day tending my smoker, and turning a 16 pound piece of raw beef into something delicious.  The next day, we hosted some friends to help us eat the brisket and play Card Against Humanity.  Overall, the $50 I paid for the brisket provided two days of fun an entertainment, as well as some great eats.  Here’s some pictures of how it turned out.

Here are the slices of the bottom portion of the brisket called the flat:

The top, more fatty portion of the brisket is called the point.  It generally has to cook longer to render the extra fat out, and is commonly cubed into what are called burnt ends:

Fist pump for BBQ, and my favorite posts of the week!

  4. That brisket looks amazing! I was at a party this past weekend and a neighbor came over with some hot wings. He makes the sauce from scratch and it was incredible. I really love the summer and being outside cooking and enjoying friends and family.

    So, July 24th is my birthday. The next time you feel compelled to make brisket on my birthday you will need to ship some to my house. Just saying.
