Rub the entire brisket with the mustard/pickle juice and apply the rub to all sides and ends.

Had the pellet pooper pre heating at 275* and on the center rack, fat cap up and point closer to the firepot. Check in 5 hours.

Thats a great looking brisket but I have never had 1 lacking fat like that 1, somebody somewhere done some trimming, wish I could score a few like that. I would have cut that brown fat off though lol
 
Nice start. I don’t trim either unless the fat and such is just ridiculous. Just cook them to probe tender and enjoy.
 
I'm tagging along for the ride.

Daughter is working lots of hours so this brisket is for them

Wrapped when the point was at 163, fat cap still up.
Took from smoker at 201 and let rest for an hour.

Flat sliced pretty good, nice and moist.

Point was slicing good until the last few inches where it just started to shred but its all good.

Yes I will do more untrimmed briskets.
 
Man that is gorgeous! You did good. How did the fat do rendering down? From the first pic it didnt look to have a ton of fat to start with.

Drip pan this morning was half full. I was thinking it would have overflowed.
