How does this look for a guy from Iowa?

    It looks sorta oven roasted and without seasoning. I’d also slice it fat side up.

  2. How long, what temp, and what temp did you pull it? The bark looks pretty light. I can still see the fat cap. That slice looks a bit dry, but the end of the flat is usually pretty dry anyway.

    I’d guess you pulled it early. Like at 185-190F or cooked it too hot and fast, like 300-350F for 6-7hrs.

    Does it look bad? Not at all. Would I eat it, absolutely. Does it look perfect… Also no.

    But it’s tough to really evaluate from photos.

  3. I would have to try one from a guy from Nebraska to compare

    It looks unseasoned and burnt/dry in areas

    I have met people from Iowa and they did not look like this.

    It looks dry. Adjust cooking time, and you’ll nail it the next time.

    I personally use Injection & spritzing. It makes for a much more forgiving cook.

    Hard to tell for sure from the pics, but it looks to me like there is little to no seasoning. I use coarse salt and coarse pepper, and apply very liberally. The crust looks quite different when you do it that way.

    It should be enough to feed a guy from Iowa if you have enough sides.

    Upside down and a bit dry? But maybe it looks dry because it’s upside down? Im just not seeing much fat coming out of it.

    How pissed off would you be if you were the cow that had to die to become that brisket 😂

    Cook needs to be Lower and slower. Also, it’s upside down

    I am guessing you cook corn better than beef? LOL Looks really dry and overcooked from the juices not leaking from under it. Not 100% sure of your cooking method but more information would be great!

    Learn to trim your briskets before cooking, there’s good videos for it online. Also slow down the cook, looks burnt not barked.

    Looks like a brisket that guy from Iowa would cook on his Treager.

    The beef in that picture is incapable of looking for a guy from Iowa.

    Good for Iowa. But not so much for Q country. Low, slow and wrapped at the stall is key.

    Just casually admitting you cooked a guy from Iowa is crazy work.

    It looks like a guy from Iowa oven roasted it…
