rub with coarse salt and coarse pepper or your favorite rub. set up smoker to around 220-225 with your favorite wood or combo of woods..(I like post oak or hickory or a combo of hickory and mesquite) put it on until it hits an internal temp of 195-205 (each brisket will be a little different but let it go until it has that little wiggle to it).wrap in foil and and a towel and let rest in a cooler or preheated oven to 140 or so for 2 or so hours....slice and eat

people try to rush brisket...slow and low and patience

Looks incredible. How long did it take for you to reach internal temp?

How big of a brisket did you cook and how long did it take to smoke? Looks fantastic.

Usually about 1.5 hours per pound...I didn't time this one but I guess 16-18 hours..I don't go on time, I go by feel. And I check it around 195-200 internal temp. The brisket should have a good wiggle to it when you pick it up.

Brisket is the bane of my existence. i can smoke ribs, chicken, and pork shoulders in my sleep at this point. Brisket not so much. I have done some goood ones, but most of them are average to me. I need to up my game.

Did you separate the point from the flat at anytime during the cook?

I don't seperate the point and the flat until I get ready to serve it. Unless I am going to do burnt ends then I separate the point and cut it into cubes and put it back on with some smoke.

Do you use a drip pan with any particular liquid or no need?
