With todays brisket I am trying something new. I used some lump charcoal in with my pellets in my AMNPS. (note to self. All 3 rows burned in less than 5 hours.) I am going for a smoke ring in my MES40. I am also using mesquite brickets in the chip tray.I injected the brisket with some au jus and slathered the outside in a mixture of mustard,onion,and my rub all blended together and allowed to marinate for 14 hours. I put this baby in at 2:30am for dinner tonight. Here is my first picture after 5 hours in the smoker. I trimed all the fat off the entire brisket then place it on the rack above it to drip down on it while it renders.
