Brisket Point Formaldehyde Taste?
« on: October 13, 2018, 02:31:17 AM »
I smoked a large packer brisket with a mix of woods from smokin-it.  I let it rest in a cooler for 6 hours after reaching 195 degrees. I sliced it and the flat came out very good, probably one of the best I've ever had.  It was like meat candy, it was delicious. I also tried the point at that time and it was pretty good.  I put the remainder of the sliced pieces in the fridge.  I heated up the flat the next day, it was still great.  Then later on that evening I heated up some of the point.  I could smell a formaldehyde like smell.  I thought, must be something else....  Then I tasted it and it tasted the same as it smelled.  I did a google search and came up with someone else that had this same taste with brisket but no answers.  Does anyone have any idea what it could be?
