“Y'all OTBS Members are defintely hand-picked, cream of the crop folks!” Amen to that! Thanks again to everybody for all of the help and great information. TNJake, I know about where you’re at up that way. If you’re ever going east on I-40 and need some cooking wood, let me know. I’m a...

I meant to take some pics. Everybody was salivating like a cartoon wolf so I sliced as soon as I unwrapped it. There’s nothing left to take pics of now. We didn’t have many over on account of Covid, but everybody loved it. My dad said he’s now getting a smoker and wants me to teach him how to do...

Brisket perfection! Best one I’ve ever done, hands down. Thanks again for the help guys.

40 minutes til slice time. I was wore out and overslept just a little so the brisket ended up in the cooler for about 6 hours. Still nice and warm when I opened the cooler up. Had to use the oven for cornbread first so after that and a cool down,it went in a 170 degree oven. Fingers crossed...

1:30 AM here. Just pulled the brisket, wrapped in foil and towels. Temps were between 196 and 207 and was tender everywhere I stuck it. I was hoping for a little longer cook. But when it’s done, it’s done. Gonna let it rest awhile and I’m gonna get a little rest myself. Thanks for all the input...

Thanks noboundaries! 14 hours in and I just checked internal temp, 180 in the flat. I actually think it’s easier to keep the right temp on this little smoker when it’s cold out. In warm weather, I’ve had to remove coals cause it was running too hot. This hasn’t been bad at all.

Excellent information! Thank you tallbm! Suggestions on how to rest and reheat is exactly what I was looking for. I really appreciate it. I do not have a wireless thermometer to check internal temp...so I do open the cook chamber every now and again....I know, I know, if I’m looking, I’m not...

Thanks for the replies. I like the thought of holding it in a warm oven. My fear is that it will dry out in the process. From my previous experiences, brisket is a little more tricky after the fact as opposed to pulled pork. Pulled pork, just pull it and reheat on the smoker or in the oven and...

Thank you for the reply!

Hello folks. Long time reader and smoker, first time poster. Because of Covid this year, we aren’t going anywhere for Christmas. We are usually run ragged going to at least 5 different places for family get togethers on various days around this time of year. I told my wife, I’m doing a brisket...
