I was actually really surprised at how quickly he got a brisket of that size to cook.
If I could do my pork butt that quickly tomorrow I'd be thrilled.
Buddy just replied and said he's bringing some good cigars to the BBQ, so the afternoon is coming together nicely.

The bark wasn't crispy but not what I'd call wet either. I would have liked it a touch firmer but it was still an enjoyable chew. I'll wrap the next one in butcher paper. That should help. The foil is probably why it wasn't as firm
I expected 8 hours or so but 4 hours @ 275 finished it in 6 hours total cook time.

Pellet smokers are awesome. I got a Yoder last Christmas and love that thing. Here's a brisket I did a while back on it.

Good idea. I may actually try parchment paper for my pork tomorrow and see what that gets me.

I bought a MAK 2 Star General several years ago and I would never go back to a stick burner.

Nice work. It all looks fantastic.
I do the same but toss the towel-wrapped brisket in an old ice chest. It will stay hot in there for many hours, and the time makes it even more tender.
Re the injection. I usually inject a cup or so of beef broth made with Better than Bullion. It may not make much difference, but it at least gets some salt inside the meat.

Pulled it when the internal hit 203. Left it in the foil and covered it with a thick towel for the hour-long rest.

I've got a pork butt brining right now and want to try to avoid wrapping it if possible, because I feel like it makes the bark soften/soggy.
I often wrap brisket and ribs, but I've smoked many butts and never wrapped one. They always have good bark and are tender inside.
The only reason I could see to wrap a pork butt is if you were pressed for time and needed to power through the stall.

Pork Belly is next on my list. Just gotta do a little research first. Your meat looks scrumptious. :nohomo:

Yep. Good idea. I'm going straight beef broth or consommé next time.
