    LET'S TALK BRISKET!!

    I have an offset smoker and usually throw a pan of water under my brisket, in theory it should help even out the temperature a little.

    First Packer Brisket

    Sounds like you have a plan for next time, more smoke and local beef.  When you say Wally Beef, are you saying the brisket was from Walmart?  I cooked steaks from there one time and wasn't happy how they came out, that may be the source of the problem.

    Brisket smoke

    Nice smoke ring!  If the point is a little tough you can always separate it and cook it some more.

    First Time Smoking A Beef Brisket

    I think it should work fine, give it a try.  For me practice has been more helpful than having the best type of smoker.

    brisket price per lb

    Most of the briskets I find are select, would like choice but don't see them.  HEB had whole packers for $2/lb for many months but had recently increased to near $2.50.  Last weekend Albertsons ran a sale on packers for $1.77/lb limit 2.  I grabbed a couple of them and told everyone I knew about...

    LET'S TALK BRISKET!!

    Another beautiful brisket there Gary!  And great pictures too!    Pittocarrillo that is a good question, usually by 165 mine are pretty charred looking but I cook with mostly wood and little charcoal.  I do know that wrapping tends to soften the bark, sometimes I unwrap it for the last half...

    LET'S TALK BRISKET!!

    Schroeder I wrap in foil (some use butcher paper) at around 160 degrees then cook it to the 203-205 range.  For me that has helped a great deal making it moist.  Then I stick in a cooler like you do for a couple hours.  You could try that and see if it helps.  As far as tough that should mean it...

    Amazingribs.com Brisket on UDS

    Glad to hear it!  The last one I did wasn't as tender as I wanted it even though it went over 200, reheated it the next day for a couple of hours in the oven and it really helped.

    First Time Brisket Smoke - The Jury Is Out

    Only way to know if the built in thermometer is off is to cook another one (or something else) and compare it to a separate thermometer.  Either put a 2nd probe in it, or check occasionally with a stick thermometer.

    Smoking brisket #2 for Saturday - Need advice

    John,      I've cut briskets in half and they have worked out fine, can always do that if it is too long for your WSM.  Never had to add any liquid when wrapping, fat makes plenty of juice.  Agree with JC, Franklin's videos are very helpful.  Never have seen the virtual brisket but I bet its...

    Great job Roger, I've heard those CAB briskets are really good!  Would love to try one but haven't found them around here.
