I'm Smokin' my first brisket this weekend on my MES 40.

Got a 10.5# and I'm gonna start it the night before, so its ready for Mothers Day dinner.

My main question is how long should I keep adding wood chips? (mesquite, dad's request from when he lives in TX)

I"m gonna wrap it in foil when it gets to 165* then unwrap it when it gets to 190* pull it at 200* wrap/rest in a cooler.

Thanks

Cramer

Welcome to SMF Cramer,

I would suggest goin over to (roll call) and introduce yourself, and your equipment.

It will give us a better idea of what kinda advice you need.

But to answer your Q, I'm a stick burner, so i use wood the whole time.

Good luck, and remember the

Huh, Well welcome anyway

I would smoke until you hit the 165º and continue as you have planned.

It sounds like you have a good plan to me.

Happy Smokin' Cramer

I let the smoke roll the whole time.
