celebrations can be held without bombs going off.....sort of missed the point...and literally the end of a war is not even close to the end of war...we've had a few since we hoisted the flag....and Slaves, women, minorities were hardly free in 1776...was a great day for white males with property though and I'm grateful they shook off crazy King George before he gutted the nations economy...greater things have happened since that day for America...emancipation, women's rights, and so on...we've made great strides until we found our own orange skinned crazy King Don to set democracy back half a century.....Celebrate with music, dance food and entertainment...not guns and explosive devices

Nothing to do with the war.

Nothing to do with any war.

It's the Birthday of the greatest country in the history of the world, and it's US!

It's our collective Birthday as Americans, as America is literally Of the People, by the People, for the People.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.

Those are the Chads
 
Let the festivities begin! (there will be a bit of trimming involved...)

I lightly salted with kosher salt, pepper, and coffee/herb rub. My plan is to smoke that bad boy @ 250-degrees until the internal temp reaches 165-degrees. At that point, I pull it out, wrapy snugly in parchment paper, put it back in the smoker until internal tem reaches 205-degrees. I then pull it our for good, place it (still wrapped) in a large cooler to rest for an hour. It's then eatin' time!! The entire process may take 7 hours or so. It's my first brisket, so I'm not sure.

You’ve inspired me to go to my butcher shop and see if they got briskets for sale.

I’ve never done one before.

Costco has the very best (and good prices), if you're a member. Mine's sitting at 181-degrees right now, wrapped, and smelling fantastic! I plan on posting a pic of the final product.

Just ordered a 12 lber from Costco as per your suggestion. Should be delivered along with some St. Louis style ribs and a bag of wood pellets by around 1:30 this afternoon

Couple questions on this. How many lbs is your brisket. I guess ours is 15lbs (only size they had left). Also, do you trim your fat prior to cooking or post cooking?

Their ribs are to die for, as well!

1) It's a smaller one. 7 1/2 lbs. It was part of 1/2 side of beef we had purchased earlier this year. It appears they just cut a whole one in half. I started at around 8 AM this morning. It's 2 PM now, and I probably have 1 1/2 to 2 hours to go - not counting the 1-hour resting time in the cooler. If you have a 15-pounder, that will probably take you 11 hours. Maybe more. Some people start these things overnight.

2) Definitely did some trimming You need some fat on there, but anything over 1/4" or so is excessive. I'd trim that away the best you can.

Man, I'm psyched for you! Post pics if you can!

We’ll I’ll be damned. The shopper at Costco just called and said they’re all out of brisket. Just called up my local butcher shop and they said they have plenty in stock.

Might be a blessing in disguise. I didn’t really want a 15lber.

will def post pics

You can't really go wrong with just kosher salt, pepper, and garlic powder, but there are a LOT of great rubs out there!
