Looks like a great start Stan
 
O.K., I have a little story for you and an intresting end...

You saw that I had a 15.36lb. Brisky , well when we went to get it they went in back and cut it fresh ,not pre-frozen , a BIG difference it turns out ,plus it was folded in half in the package (should have shown that)... but when I saw it I thought of a couple of years ago someone posted about folding a Brisky. Tried it with the Wally World frozen hunks and no difference.

Today , however , I would like to announce that I have "Finished" a 15+lb. in 10 hours ... Now you saw the weight , saw my temps.(within 15*f of 225*f ) and that you didn't see the thing till the end , and no foiling at all ; now gaze upon my creation...(drum roll)

Can't believe I finally got all the shots I wanted , beginning to end ...I pulled this Brisket off at 7pm, that's 10 hrs. from the 9am start.

This had less fat than I figured and was melted down just right . I'll do a Fresh one next time too!

thanks for watching and...
 
Oh, yes. i was gonna comment on the time thing , as we all do here , I went by Temp. at the middle of the point's thick part , figured my time to be appox. 22hrs. and added some to it for the meat to stall if it was and what did it do

 Went and got done in a jiffy... goes to show , always figure your time , add some for stalls and expect the unexpected

. Be patient and let it soak up the Love you are working to give it , your time will be rewarded...

Have fun and...

This is Brunt Ends , the Point of the Brisket (with all -most-of the fat , cut-up , sauced if you want and returned to the Smoker to darken them , very tender and realy good. 

You get two muscles with Brisket that go in different directions , the Flat is normally Sliced for Sammies.

Flat on Left and Ends on the Right...
