Need help, first brisket!
So I did it "Texas style" just salt and pepper. I do have a temp probe in and at 10 minutes shy of 8 hours I'm at 176 in the thickest part of the flat. It was a 11.5# packer before trimming.

Need help, first brisket!

Silly question for a Char-Griller
I'm pretty new to smoking and I bought a cheap used CG #2828. I've been burning charcoal and wood in it using a water pan below the meat and making sure the charcoal is on the opposite side of the griller. It works fine for a newbie but I would really like to make it into a true offset smoker so...- agonolin
