Thanks to all who have helped me lately especially dirtworldmike who helped me get proper butcher paper up here in Ontario.
Great day for barbecue up here, 37 F. with no wind when I started my cook, lots of ice still on Lake Erie but lousy for hockey or fishing.

I had a brisket point (about 5 lb)that I had previously massacerred from a whole packer that I was about to sacrifice. I painted her with a slather (mustard,pickle juice,beer,hot sauce,brown sugar,rub) then let her sit.

Prepped my WSM with charcoal and hickory chunks then got her going.
I went with a dry pan today, I did 8 racks of ribs last week for a buddy's party and had a helluva time getting my temp up with a full pan.. course it was cold as you know what.

I tried for 250 with this one and kept it pretty close for most of the cook.
After four hours the meat was up to 165 and ready for the paper. Oh, yeah, After 2.5 hours I mopped her with a red eye sauce... coffee,ketchup,worchestire,soy sauce,cider,butter,etc.[ATTACHMENT=3198][ATTACHMENT=3199]image.jpeg (1,175k. jpeg file)[/ATTACHMENT][/ATTACHMENT]
The temp was holding fine so I went down the lane and had a couple of pops with my neighbour then came back to watch the last period of the hockey game back in the shop.
I took the brisket off at 190, let her rest for while then sliced some up for me and the missus. I chopped up the burnt ends and took them up to town for the boys at the Legion to try. They approved.[ATTACHMENT=3200]image.jpeg (1,372k. jpeg file)[/ATTACHMENT]
 
Well,I couldn't have botched that up much worse. Thank god the cook went better than the posting.
Let's give this another go.
A great day for barbecue!
Charcoal started, brisket slathered and rubbed.
Using hickory today and a dry pan.

Time to relax and watch a little hockey.
Wrapped in paper once it hit 165 then 3 more hours to 190. Seemed to hold the flavour a bit better than foil or maybe just my imagination. In any event no complaints from the family.
 
Pics look great Brisket making me hungry Points for your first with Butcher paper
