Well last night after i got off work around i took out two full packers i bought from Waco pork and beef processors. Trimmed them and threw on a rub with just salt, pepper and a bit of paprika. Turned on the new GMG Jim bowie and set it to 235. Set them in the smoker around 9:45 pm and put the maverick probe on the grill grate and one in a brisket. 12:30am rolls around and i go to check on them and they are looking amazing so i decide to spray a bit of applejuice on them and close the lid and refill the hopper. 2 hours later the internal was staying at 165-175 but i decided i was not gona wrap them in foil since i want to get my confidence during the stall up. 4am rolls around and well i was rewarded with amazing bark and the internal was at 207 and probe test went through like butter. Pulled them off and sprayed them again THEN decided to wrap them and sit them in a dry cooler until morning. Finally got about 3 hours of sleep and when i unwrapped and sliced this is what i was rewarded with. Moist and sooo proud of that smoke ring! What do you guys think? Not to bad for NEVER EVEN TRIMMING A BRISKET! :yahoo:
 
Thank you guys. The entire family LOVED it. I think for the next time im going to find one with more marbling and i already ordered the pink/peach butcher paper. This way it will hold the bark much better and most importantly NEVER SMOKING OVER NIGHT AGAIN! Just wake up early and then start to smoke. Smoke on boys!
 
That brisket looks great. Good job!

I had been making my own brisket rub for home and competition use and switched it up recently to the OakRidge BBQ Black Ops Brisket Rub. I highly recommend you checking it out for your next brisket cook.

Guys really i thank all the positive comments but it was because of all the treads i read on this site that they even came out this way. Its because of great people like yall that my confidence is through the roof and i want to continue to do this. Tweak a few things and adjust due to my schedule at work (work 13 hours except sundays) and continue to fall in love with this new hobby. Hell my wife is happy this may keep me at home instead of the lake fishing so much lol
