    First Brisket ever

    That is not a bad idea. I use to have a friend that was a butcher and when I wanted good burger I would have him grind me 1/3 Brisket, 1/3 Chuck and 1/3 Sirloin or strip and then add enough fat to get it to about 80-20. Thank for the advice I will give it a go on my next go around.

    Thank you. I was using the Cabela's Competition Pellets set to smoke boost until I reached about 170 and then wrapped and finished.

    First Brisket ever

    Well i have been smoking on my Smoke Vault for many many years. But brisket has alway intimidated me until now. I cooked my first brisket last night and it turned out spectacular. This is going to have to become a staple. It was a small brisket about 9.5lbs before trimming it.

    1st long cook on the SmokeFire and it did not disappoint.

    it did. it was interesting watching the dual probes. one was in the center and one was toward the outside and up until the roast hit the 160’s it was consistantly 8 degrees different then they started coming together and held the same the rest of the cook.

This went about 4.5 hours on smoke boost and then 275 to an IT of about 175 wrapped it with a bit of butter and back on the pit until probe tender (200). then it rested in a warm cooler for about 2 hours. And this is one of the best...
