I marinated a 6lb flat brisket for about 18 hours in pepsi, worchestershire (sp?), olive oil, and minced garlic cloves. Took it out this morning and rubbed it down with sugar, salt, garlic and onion powder, paprika, and a few other things that sounded good. After I got the smoker fired up and at temp (230) with the TBS flowing, I dropped the flesh on the smoker. That was about 20 minutes ago. When I go to add more fuel and wood, I'll be spraying it down with apple cider. Unfortunately I didn't think to start pics before the marinade and rubdown so your first pic is when it hit the smoker. Enjoy. I know I will be.

I like the marinade idea! I smoked my first beef brisket two weeks ago....overnight sitting with dry rub on, kept temp at 250, left it for 3.5 hrs until IT reached 175, NEVER opened it...then took it out, wrapped in foil with Belgian Ale, Worchestshire and garlic..put it back on, for 3 more hrs until IT 195.....absoultely perfect...in looks and flavor and tenderness...used mesquite on a Chargriller Side Box

Good luck with yours

Well, sorry for the lack of remaining Qview. Friends came over, drinking ensued, and the pictures were more or less forgotten. The brisket came out good, but I think my spice rub was a little overpowering. Too much pepper and paprika. Definitely tone it down next time.

- Cheers
