    Second go at brisket, questions about doing 2 at a time.

    Only have done one brisket, but I found with the electric smokers that they seem to do a better job at managing the heat and take a lot less time to cook. I will find out more tomorrow as I am doing brisket #2... and 3? Gotta cut it in half just to get it to fit into my smoker. Got a 30"...

    First Brisket

    I wrapped mine after it got to 206 then put in a roaster pan because I didn't have a cooler handy. Mine never developed a "bark". Maybe because I was flipping it every 2 hours?

    First Brisket

    Brisket done early. Guess we have brisket sandwiches for lunch. 4.5 hours earlier than I expected. Next time I will cook at 225.

    Brisket cooking time

    At what point do you wrap in foil? And do you actually put ice in the cooler to cool it down?

    It on smoker reads about 180. My new temp probe reads 173. Time to wrap?

    First Brisket

    Coming along nicely. About 4.5 hours in at about 250*. Looks good now. Little worried it will be burnt by 10.5 hours. So I wrap in foil after cooking to 190-195 or 170, wrap, and keep cooking til 195?

    First Brisket

    Btw, I used an apple chipotle brine from cabelas and soaked it for 24 hours, then took it out and used cabelas general purpose rub / seasoning with cabelas brisket rub. Let then sit on it about 7 hours(overnight) til I got it out and stuck it in the smoker at 4am. Added 10ozs of Apple juice to...

    Thanks for all the info chef jimmyj, I do appreciate the help! I am cooking brisket now so next time I do ribs I'll try the 3-2-1 method. Gotta find it on here. Is it a sticky somewhere? Up at 3 am to preheat smoker then brisket went in at 4.

    Getting started with a Masterbuilt (many questions)

    Not sure what amnps stands for but I googled it and I went to amazon where it comes up as a pellet tray for smokers. Costs about 35-40 dollars and will provide smoke for up to about 8 hours without having to add. I just bought a new mes 30" and the thermometer was all over the place so I don't...

    7 pound Brisket... HELP!!!

    I am doing the same size Brisket tomorrow. I am guessing about 1.5 hours a pound so about 10-11 hours at about 225-250*. I am looking to use Apple and Jack Daniels' wood chips for mine. Good luck! Did you soak your Brisket in a brine solution, or inject it? Are you using a rub too?
