Mates, I love this old baw on YouTube - I got an old school smoker from a neighbors yard sale for $10 and hes helped me smoke up some competition level "wannnnngs", "ryiiiiibs", and now muh first "breeeeaskit". His accent is fantastic and I enjoy getting housed on shitty beer and rocking my MAGA hat and talking with his accent for the duration. Unfortunately there was no "braaaaaaaaanin'" (brining) required for the brisket.

We did a good job keeping the temp between 225 and 275 for 8 hours. I could get a Rec Tec but I kind of enjoy the challenge of managing the temps old school style. Cooked with Cowboy charcoal and mostly Pecan wood chunks but some mesquite as well.

4 hours unwrapped
4 hours wrapped in two layers of foil
1.5 hours rest (currently)

We're finna be eatin' on this competition brisket for several days, mates. PM me if you want any more info.

Pic below is my finished brisket with our good baw below in the inset

Might be a great brisket, but if you wrapped it in foil for 4 hours it ain’t a competition brisket

Show us a pic of this brisket sliced so we can see if it’s moist or DAF. That means dry as frick to the brisket novice that you are.

They all look great on the outside, Walt. It’s whats on the inside that matters.

I'm def still a novice but it came out great. I think maybe there was more fat in this brisket than ideal? It was great tho

Nice work Winston. Looks like a brisket to be proud of. Now don’t get your chest all puffed out. You can do the same method on your next one and frick it up. Brisket is hard but for now enjoy man.

So true. I don't think I've seen more opinions/methods/recipes on how to smoke a meat than I've heard/read on briskets. I've tried lots of different ways and they've all been at least good. I find that the key is to use a thermometer and trust the temp.
