Love comin back to this and seein people still commenting. Give it a try and come back with some pics! What kind of smoker do you have?Thoroughly enjoyed reading this thread and has given me some confidence to attempt my first major chunk of beef soon.
Nice setup. If you havent gotten to know your smoker yet Id suggest starting with a pork shoulder or some chicken. Theyre more forgiving of temp swings and are much much cheaper than brisket these days. Good luck!I have a bespoke vertical offset smoker
Sweet, post some pics along the way. Whats the brisket weigh? How much is it per pound in Australia? Curious
Smoked myself some pork spare ribs and pork roast yesterday. Not too bad for my first attempt at smoking, a lot of lessons to be learn but a few positives to take as well.
I'm gonna give the brisket a go tomorrow.
Man does that look good, Great Job
OK. Here's one of the two butts I smoked this morning.
Oh man,does the bark taste Awesome!!
The brisket I purchased is around 3.3kg or 7 pound. The cut is slightly different here in Oz, as it also included the ribs.

Nice lookin grub you got there. Need some more pics and info on that smoker you built!
Smoked my First chickens on Saturday to get the temperature up.
Then I put on two Boston Butts for the Super Bowl. These went on at Midnight, and I just took them off at 8:00 am this morning.
I am really impressed with the smoker I built. Keeping the temperature at 250 is very consistent. I only need the air vent open about 1/4 inch, and I feed it 2 logs every 2 hours.
I bought the Chicken at Restaurant Depot. Awesome place and great prices. I bought 40#'s, at $0.42/lb.
The Butts are cooling right now, tented in foil. When I pull them apart, I'll add some more pictures.
These where smoked Fat side Up
