    1st brisket with Qview Part 2

    I am doing my first brisket this weekend and am getting excited! I have a question for you. did you pull it at 165 and foil or did you leave it one? looks like you got a nice crispy bark on there... also that was a full brisket it looks like right? I am just doing the flat portion.
