    first brisket ever

    If it tastes near as good as it looks and smells, I'm sure I will think it a great success.  Just gonna let it sit in the cooler for a few hours and cut when company arrives.  My mouth is already watering!

    first brisket ever

    14 hrs after starting, the brisket reached 192.  I'm a few greatly, but that's better than being late or waking up at 1 to put it on.  It is now wrapped and in the cooler.

    first brisket ever

    Ok, that initial jump just had me worried.  Thanks for all the great info.  The lid won't get opened again until the IT is about 190

    first brisket ever

    After about 2 hours on at roughly 235 the internal temp is reading 115. Is that normal? It seems like the temp climbed awfully quick. Any tips?

    pellet ash?

    Thanks for the response.  I wasn't sure how long to leave the ash, or if it would cause any harm or unsafe conditions.

    first brisket ever

    I plan to smoke around 250, and from what I read it seems I can let it "rest" in a closed cooler double wrapped in heavy aluminum foil and it will stay at serving temp for several hours?  I got stuck with a pork shoulder on my first ever smoke and it took longer than expected.  So maybe I'm a...

    Crispy chicken skin?

    Just made over the weekend.  Smoked two fryers at about 275 until internal temp was 160, then cranked it up to about 350 or 375 until internal temp was 175 and the skin came out with a light crisp, definitely not soggy but not fried chicken crispy either.
