Brisket adding smoke halfway thru cooking

Can I start adding smoke half way thru cooking of a brisket and get the same effect?

The same effect, possibly.  Smoke flavor, yes.  It's my personal feeling that smoke can be added at anytime during or after a cook.  It depends on how much smoke flavor is desired, after all these days smoke is added mostly for flavor rather than a cure.

You can make adjustments by controlling the color and density of the smoke.  There are times when doing a roast that some may prefer no smoke at all.  In this case, I cut the steaks and smoke them for a couple minutes with a heavy smoke just prior to service.  This will produce a desired layer of smoke on them for the ones who prefer a smoked steak.

If you are planning on pulling your brisket, lay some heavier smoke on it and when you pull it, it will be mixed in.

Hope this helps,

Hello Oldman.  

  In my opinion, what those 2 members don't know about smoking isn't worth your time to research.  

  In fact, may I suggest if you are new to smoking start reading all the threads started by those two members and Pops6927.  Between those three members only you will gain enough knowledge to keep you going for quite some time.  Many others here with tons of talent.  Just my opinion.  Don't forget the QView.  Good Luck.  Keep Smokin!
