mind sharing what you did? i'm "scared" of brisket - 'cause it's high as a kite & i don't wanna screw up a high-$$$ cut of meat ... lemme know


The easiest way to screw up a brisket is to get it to hot, but other than that they are not hard to cook. I just rub mine and smoke at 225, until internal temp hits 190 then I start probing it with the thermometer. When it slides in easy I pull and wrap and let it rest for a while. Having an electronic thermometer helps, since you don’t have to keep opening the lid to check temp during the cook which helps maintain a consistent temp.

I plan 1:15 per pound for cook time, but it can be more or less.
