Not playing around with a point or a flat. I'm doing the whole thing.
Bought a 12-1/2 lb brisket from Walmart and trimmed it up. Used a rub i found on here that included red pepper flakes
It's going on the smoker in the morning when my son wakes up (lately around 5:30). Now for my questions...
I kinda just pick where the smoker wants to settle in at each day. I try to keep it between 225 and 275 for pork and above 300 for chicken. I've realized for me there isn't much of a flavor difference for pulled pork between the whole cook at 225 or the whole cook at 275.
I will say the plum wood worked great. Wasn't sure if it would or not as it was just some rogue tree in my parents neighbor's yard that a large branch fell off of into my parents yard. Little yellow sweet fruits all over it.
Now I need to go back to my parents and get the rest of it as I used...
Did some chicken 1/4s on it about 2 weeks ago. This is my first long run. All wood minus a chimney of lump to get it started. Using plum and apple wood
Did a mustard base for the rub this time (chili powder, paprika, brown sugar, onion and garlic powder, cayanne, salt, pepper, ground mustard)
