10lb Brisket came out like a champ

[gotsmoke80]

So after reading thread after thread about how hard this piece of meat was I was a little weary.  But since my folks were coming to visit from Tx I just had to do a brisket.  I started about 4:30 Am She stalled something serious at 160F I was a little worried I was gna loose it but I stayed calm and kept the heat at 250.

at the end some places where temping at 180 some at 190.  I pulled as soon as that thermometer slid in like butter.

Total cook time including rest was just over 7 hours.  I went my IT and Feel . once I saw my thermo hitting up around 180 I was looking for the hot knife thru butter I herd about on every video I watched.  and when she went thermodeep with easy it was so good.   I ended up using a fatty piece and made beans the next day wow
