JB.1981 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) Thought I'd share yesterday's success story. Managed to squeeze a brisket just shy of 2kg into the lidl mini. Rubbed generously in 50/50 mix of fine ground black pepper and some Cornish sea salt from Tesco (large crystals). Got mini going at about 9:00 A.M. 225f (~110c), using 100% Big K lumpwood. Made sure to top up water in my bowl/heat deflector all day. Smoked about 6 ish hours with no need to wrap. Pulled at 196f (91c) then rested in foil/towels/cooler for an hour or so and had good results. Plenty of peppery bark, a nice pink smoke ring, and still tender and juicy inside. Tasted delicious so very pleased overall. I'm having great fun with this mini and it yielded enough for 4 of us to have brisket sandwiches last night with the same amount again as leftovers today.
