Started my first ever brisket yesterday afternoon a little after 2 pm planning on a nice birthday dinner for my wife today.
Turns out it finished around 6 am and after a nice rest I took it out and she had a few bites and scarfed up a bunch of slices and took them to work with her for lunch this morning.

Check list yesterday :



wind kept changing directions



cherry and apple ( the ash in the right hand side of the box I did not use )



Ready for meat





No foil pan pics .

Yes Joe , I cheated , around 11 pm the meat hit 170 and I foiled the pan and put in the *ven .

Pan of brisket swimming in golden goodness



Ready to put the cuts to it



First slice



Too tender and warm to slice , the rest got cut and pulled



Nothing added here , just the juiciness of the meat



Well , sorry for the long qview , but I'm happy with my first try at a brisket.

Thanks for all the great posts I've read here that made this a success !!!!!

Couldn't have done it without SMF !!!!

Tough day to celebrate on so we keep it pretty low key and usually go out to dinner on the weekend. This year the Irish fest was last weekend , she enjoyed that a lot.
 
Thanks for stopping by last night , it was nice to see you and Sara. Glad she had a good flight and hope she brings back some nice pics.
Bet you didn't finish that lil' pepper I gave you , did ya
