Wow...after reading some of these brisket threads you'd think maybe it was rocket science. I'm here to tell you it's not. I'm not exactly new to the art but just now got around to a brisket. I've had plenty of practice with my MES and the local grocery was advertising packers on sale so I guess the stars aligned.
When I got home from a gig last night, I fired up the amnps with some apple pecan mix and threw my rubbed packer in my 225 degree MES just before midnight. Fell asleep for a couple hours and woke at 4:30 to find the amnps had gone out. Fired it back up and went back to sleep. Woke again at 6:15 and it was going strong still and sitting at 153. Foiled with some apple juice at 170, took it to 190 and seperated the flat and point with a butter knife. Flat went into a cooler for an hour and a half and the point got cubed, rubbed, and sauced for burnt ends.
Heres the cubed point ready to go back in.
And after another couple hours in some hickory smoke....
These suckers were delish!
And slicing the flat
No smoke ring but it was juicy and had great smoke flavor
It took about 14 1/2 hours to get the packer to 190 so I had almost 17 hours in this smoke but it was worth every minute.
