On the grill

Brisket is collagen. Being safe to eat does not make it ready. It is ready when the connective tissue has melted, around 93–96 °C internal, after 8–12 hours at 110–120 °C.

Expect a stall around 70 °C where the temperature stops moving for hours. Wrap in butcher paper and push through; do not raise the heat to beat it.

110 °Cindirect

This takes hours. The fire is barely alive and the meat is never over it.

Smoke it with oak, hickory or mesquite.
