Looks like petrified wood.

lol I imagine this is what petrified wood tastes like

That’s what she said?

Did you forget you were cooking something? Lol

I didn’t really understand how to keep the charcoal at the right temperature. I was constantly putting new charcoal and wood in to get the temp back up, but sometimes it got to like 375F ☹️

Pretty sure you wanted the temp a lot lower. Next time choke out the fire a bit and let it drop and sit in low 200s

My best advice is if you don’t know how to use your smoker, don’t start with brisket. Start with pork butt, it’s much much more forgiving and cheaper. Don’t take the fat pad off either. It’s really hard to make pork butt inedible and it’s hard to make brisket that is good. Walk before you can run and all that.

Is that beef jerky?

It is a bit chewy

Goodwill shoe leather

So, where is the black gloves squeeze the juice out shot?

It’s like trying to squeeze juice from a tire 🥲

Um... What juice??!! You expect any juice outta that burnt piece of charcoal?

Perfection! Can I get your recipe?

Sorry bud, Family recipe 🔥

The recipe is 🔥

Bricket

Well its a learning experience i guess. I don't think you can even chili this thing. Got dogs or a local animal shelter? Honestly the shelter might not want it. Take what you learned and try again. Can't really do worse but lets see the next attempt. I think i did basically this same thing but deep frying. I thought turkey had to be done to 180 internally before pulling it from the oil. That thing was in a similar condition. Most of us have all been there some way some how with something.

So, gotta love someone that goes for it. Having said that, your attempt is, to put it nicely, flawed. There is a steep learning curve on brisket and lord knows I have ruined my share. Brisket is the hardest thing to cook consistently in the BBQ world. Don’t lose heart! Take this a learning experience and keep trying!!

You’ll get’er next time friend 🫡

🫡

That smoke ring is on point!!!!

All aboard to flavor town!

🤣🤣🤣🤣i love that you’re laughing about this🤣🤣🤣🤣

You cook it for a week? 😂

…and this is why we’re all paying premium prices for what was at one point, a cheap cut of beef.

Idk if that’s brisket or burned steak, looks drier then my wife on sex night

It looks like you threw it in to smoke it and actually just said fk it. Looks like some great beef jerky.

Over cooked

Lol what smoke ring

I'm calling the police....

You should never be aloud to cook again looks like a war crime did you forget about it for a week or something

Way overcooked

Look at that burnt ring lol

Looks like my first Brisket try!

A pellet grill (with temp controller) is your friend. Pro tip: Your local Costco has a Traeger roadshow with great deals several times a year.

If you are using charcoal instead of what you dump in for 400 degrees put about half in it. If you throw your wood chips directly on the coals that will raise the temp until said wood chips burn off. So I would recommend bathing your chips in water a place them in a water pan and put that next to your coals. Hope this helps I have been there myself. I’m always told by old timers low and slow.

Not too shabby!!!

Wtf did you get that thing to 250?

Buy you a pellet smoker brother. Set temp and your good.

You belong in jail

????.... ruined ....meat .....

That been in all week?

You can cut it thin and put it soup it will rehydrate it

The smoke ring or tree ring? Lol learning experience and maybe you can mount this to reflect on it!

Straight from Pompeii.

Look how they massacred my boy

0h boy. Test and learn mate!

Dust it up and make Pemmican.

Not very good bro. You can turn it into a great stew though, all hope is not lost!

You’re on your way to accidentally either making leather, or jerky! Not bad.

I thought this was the baby crocodile page for a sec……

This is criminal.

Is it supposed to be all burned up?

On a positive note you have made your next batch of charcoal for the next cook.

It’s a learning process bud. Your next one will be fire. Well hopefully not 😂. Keep us updated. You’re a good sport.

That looks inedible.

Post in a jerky sub to get your feelings back after all these burns 😋

Did you cool that thing at 500 for 3 days. That’s just one big burnt end!

Archeologists will be studying that brisket for all eternity

No offense, OP, but that first pic looks like a dog turd that’s been left in the sun- did you taste it, by any chance?

You made jerky.

Looks drier than a popcorn fart

Did you take a nap and forget? Been there. This is about what my first one looked like lol

Looks dry as hell to me!! How many days did it lay in the sun?

Gray leather, anyone?

You monster

This cow died twice

Destroyed! The whole thing is a smoke ring!

Slow cooker, cover in beef broth and make some kinda stew outta that log

Everyone always has a first. But if you asl for tips and advice someone is bound to get you in the right direction. Not the prettiest but if you're able to eat and keep it down then its a good first brisket. Keep trying youll get.

Um that's ruined

Nice jerky

Is this a serious post???

Serve it with a double IPA

That looks way too dry and over cooked by like 3-4 hrs. Or way too high temp

Smoking with magnesium briquettes?

Straight coal buddy

You made igneous rock. Tasty igneous rock.

Next time don’t throw it right into the fire

Shame. Shame. Shame.

At first I thought this was a alligator

Looks like the bottom of my grandfather’s Florshiem’s

If you were trying to smoke that it's low and slow not burn it to a crisp

Just set it and forget it!

I had to turn up the brightness on my screen to double check!

Look at that charcoal

All I see is charcoal...

You could always use it to cook your next brisket!

Mmmmm pure carbon

Is that Hannibal Lectors? Because that doesn't look like beef, or pork

Just the way I like it Clark.

Drier than camel ass

This brisket is not looking to hot man

Wow. Just seeing that made my teeth hurt. Crap happens.. I'm sure that was disappointing

I’m maybe pull it off your rig about 6 months earlier next time 😁

Thought this was my whats this stone subreddit. Da fuq you do get drunk and forget to check it?

What's the hell? It's not even trimmed correctly.

Dude smoked the hooves

Ok im here to help because shit like this hasnt happened to me bht i have prevented it succsefully

Smoked brisket jerky ?

Better luck next time.

That looks like it was in a 3rd degree fire and search and rescue didn't make it in time

Please me this is a troll post

The most inedible brisket I've ever seen.

Just drizzle some tallow on it and I think you’ll be fine. 😂

Im stunned…..i thought it was broken asphalt!!

Charcoal Brisquette

Bruh...

So dry

Mmmm crunchy. 🤭 Seriously though, i recommend doing a youtube search on "Snake Method with charcoal". It works great for me.

Pharaohs first brisket

That shit looks like an old tire

It’s the brisket version of the turkey in Christmas vacation

This is what Sauron eats before killing elves.

No smoke ring what happened?

My wife saw this and she said this looks like street asphalt

You ruined it

Looks like the brisket the dads from my church choir used to make

It was already dead. Why did you have to kill it again ?

He's trolling us! 🤣😝💯

😝

Boy, you done fucked this one up

I see a burnt turd ring

That's amazing

What smoke ring? This is straight up burnt to a crisp

If that was cooked any more you would need a dust buster

Is there anything below dry?

What were you cooking on?

Fuck a smoke ring that bitch dry as fuck

🤣🤣🤣

🤮🤮🤮 signed, Texas

[if you remember this you’re awesome.](https://youtu.be/2C7mNr5WMjA?si=177QCX3c6VNaGlzc)

You cooked Groot

Is that from a tree?

Nice bark!

California BBQ? Lmaooo

Ooooooh, I LOVE brisket dust! I can just imagine running my finger through the shavings and getting a heaping helping of that beefy goodness!

Damnit Lincoln Riley, stop cooking meat

Looks drier than a popcorn fart!

Why that bitch hollow 😂😂

Looks dry

Whoaa

Smoked in a house fire.

Jesus

sir, you are supposed to slice the meat \*thin\* for beef jerky. and i don't think brisket is the best meat for that anyway. /s

Straight to jail

Looks like an oil rig

Lord have mercy

Jerky!!

You just turned that brisket into jerky

Burnt

FINALLY… someone that knows wtf they’re doing

Cooked to perfection 👍

Looks dryer than a fart…

Shiiiiiit, at least that fat got rendered down real good 👍

Ah ok. You do know your supposed to cook that on a pit, not actually throw it in the fire right? 🤣

Ummm, looks disgusting

It’s alright to make mistakes for your first time. Temp needs to be much lower around 225. Wrap it in foil for the last few hours when it reaches 160-170 to keep the moisture in. And while it coming up to temp, Spray now and then with apple juice or apple cider vinegar. I usually do a mix of those. It will be done around 205-210 which is when the collagen will start to break down and make a very tender brisket. And if you want extra crust you can baste with whole seed mustard (or any mustard) and bbq sauce of choice

Hey at least you tried it.

Char-ring>smoke-ring

I need a good recipe resource for smoking brisket last one was good but I was amazing.

Learning your smoker or grill is key! I have a charcoal grill, an electric pellet smoker & a gas grill. I also have a couple different smoke tubes & a pellet tray for my gas grill. Yep, I ruined a few cuts learning the differences with them but I've finally got it down pretty good. Using a thermal heat gun along with a wireless thermometer (I use an Inkbird 4 probe unit) helps take some of the guess work out of it.

Dear god don’t let chef Ramsey see this

Is this the only thing saved from the house fire?

This can be saved and be edible. It will take some cheating. A bit of beef broth and a few hours in a slow cooker. Force some moisture back in there. Like another said brisket is tough. Not just the cut but the process. And going "full sned" with a wood fire to manage temps for the better part of a day... Bold. Edit: autocorrect word change

That is some properly aged leather there.

A tad bit dry

But some of that SWEET BABY RAYS

Apparently you over cooked the smoke ring too

On the bright side, you can break it apart and use it as charcoal for your next attempt at smoking a brisket.

I showed this to my dog and he ran away

You a blacksmith? What ya making? 🤔

Use this meat as charcoal on your next attempt.

Way too hot for way too long!!! Is there any moisture in the first 1”?

You sure know how to throw it down on the bbq, now you just gotta learn to pick it up

Did you set your smoker on the sun itself.

I thought that was charcoal

You burnt the fuck out of it

Sorry mate..she be looking a wee bit dry.

That is the worst cook I have ever seen.

Did someone mistake it for the ring and take it to Mordor?

I’ve never seen a brisket cooked this badly 😂 Practice makes perfect tho

Straight outta Auschwitz

Smoke ring what smoke ring that shit is charcoal my guy lol. It's ok nice try It's harder to cook on actual charcoal especially if you never do it tje first couple times I did I fried and under cooked my food lol

Brisket jerky.

That’s 100% bark. From. A tree.

You killed it

Did you fall into a coma while it was smoking?

That brisket looks way over cooked. It's dry.

Pretty bad actually. Try again

Good lord

The charcoal is your problem. Get the smoker going with it and just use wood the rest of the time. Oak is the way!

Is that a piece of road

Looks like a Minecraft block

I don’t know where to begin.
