Well my second smoke ever is a 5lb or so brisket. 3 hrs in and i think so far so good. I am using pecan wood chips and a little rub i had to whip up quick. Lightly coated with mustard and rub and into the smoker she went. No pics yet sorry. Will be doing a temp check in a few so I will take one then. When will the bark start to form? At 2 hrs it looked pretty close to when it went in with an IT of about 150. At 2 hrs filled water pan with a beer. Wish me luck
