Did the brisket last night
After 6 hours in the smoker it was getting a bit dry. The top layers of chopped onions was nicely crisped, and most of the fat had melted away.
I took it inside, wrapped it in tin foil. I had the water pan that was filled with drippings and some water, so I poured it right in.
250 degree oven for another 1.5 hours.
Took it out, was a bit tough. Oh well.
Then I had it for breakfast today. It had softened up nicely. And tasted much better as well. I was worried that the wine vinegar would overpower it, but it adds the perfect edge to the flavor.
I took the drippings, removed the fat, put a bit of salt and pepper, and boiled it down until it was about 1/3. The perfect sauce.
I figure I'll get about 8 meals total based the amount I eat per sitting, which means a 5 lb brisket which cost me $25 will feed me at $3.125 per meal.
I'm loving this thing.
