Smoking a 9 lb brisket plus a couple of small pork tenderloins for our weekend camping trip tomorrow.  Brisket rubbed with some Adams rub and coarse ground pepper.  1 tenderloin rubbed with Grub Rub and wrapped in bacon.   The other rubbed with some chipotle / Texas rub I got at HEB and wrapped in bacon.   This tenderloin was soaked overnight in jalepeno juice as I wanted to try to get it really spicy.  Pulled the tenderloins at about 148 degrees, wrapped and put in a cooler to rest.   Will let everyone know how those turn out.   Brisket has been going about 5.5 hours and I expect it to be done early AM.   Here are a couple of pics.  The first was when I put everything on, the second is the brisket right before I wrapped it.  Sorry for the orientation on the photos:

One other thing - using lump charcoal and hickory sticks from my dad's land.   The lump I got at Costco - 35 lb bag for 14 dollars - ranchers select from the "original charcoal company" - never heard of it but so far it is the best lump I use.
 
 
Ok, so the camping trip is over.   Let me just say the brisket was the star of the show!  One my friends brought a buddy who does tons of BBQ competitions and nearly ate half of it.  That was about the best compliment I could get and made my weekend!
