Went directly to bed after I rested it, so no pics. It's kind of tough and a little dry. The dryness makes me think I overcooked it, but the toughness makes me think I undercooked it. This is definitely not like cooking meat in the kitchen or grilling! Sigh, bbq sauce is going to be my friend on...

It was a false alarm/rookie mistake! The probe went into the fat seam that is running through the brisket so it registered very hot. I retested and it is holding steady at 151 at the thickest point. Bark is coming along nicely now :)

Thanks Bear! I will do the toothpick/skewer test for sure!

Thanks Link! I have been researching my butt off and I have seen that most people use the water pan with Webers. I have been on the fence about the apple juice - opening the lid to spray seems like a bad idea when trying to regulate temp. I may only do it when I have to take lid off for a...
