4th of July Bread and Brisket

Happy 4th of July to all! I just wanted to share the bread my wife baked in our Victor Griswold#7 and the brisket we smoked today. I hit the stall at 160 F and had to finish it in the oven in my Griswold SBL #9. The last part of the brisket cooking was done with the bread in the oven. 7 hours in the smoker and about 1 1/2 hours in the oven. Our cat even like the Smoked brisket!

Todd,

Looks pretty much perfect to me. Funny how when you watch the "Masters" on T.V. they never run into the "stall".... I always do. Knowing same I start the smoke earlier in an attempt to compensate....still frustrating...one of those "a watched kettle never boils" things. :covri:

Looks delicious.... well done. :icon_thumbsup:

Yeah, it's funny how the masters don't hit the stall. But it might be due to equipment. How long do you smoke a brisket for? My smoker is very basic, but it gets the job done, well mostly. I am thankful that my cast iron skillets always can save the day! There has been more than one time that I have pulled out my CI to save a recipe!
 
Todd,
I only have one of those Masterbuilt units... they are very efficient. I do try to help the meat along , room temp. and pre-heat the smoker. No set time (size/weight dependent) ... I do try to limit the "opening" for basting, and, because I rarely smoke for the entire duration of the cook I am not opposed to doing just as you did, and, moving to the oven (when I hit the "stall"). My bride always want "medium well to well done" so internal temp. monitoring is mandated.

BTW...your wife's homemade bread looks amazing ! Nice. :bow:
