I tend to read much more than i post on here but this was too good to keep to myself.  We had a party for my grandfather's 85th birthday this weekend and i decided to do a brisket because everyone always loves it.  I started my fire at around 2am with a planned finish around 3-4pm, with about an hour added in for resting in the cooler.  I ended up finishing early and just held it in the cooler for a few extra hours (a tip i picked up from here) and when it came time to slice it up it ended up being perfect.  Enjoy

It weighed about 11.5 Lbs when it went in (i don't know the ending weight), the smoker temp was between 225-240, i used natural lump charcoal and Jack Daniels wood chips.  The Internal temp when i pulled it was right at 195.  Now here is where it gets weird the total cook time was only about 8 hours which surprised the hell out of me but it was done when it was done so i did not argue with it and it turned out perfect.  
 
thanks smoke , appreciate the reply , don't forget , we want to know EVERYTHING . if it works for you , we want to try it, thats the way we learn
