    Results of my first packer brisket

    So a few days ago I smoked my first whole brisket. It took over 24 hours which it should not have but I had someone watch it for a little bit and they let the meat temp drop from 195 to 165 which added a lot of time.

    First Full Brisket

    Hey guys I've smoked 4 brisket flats recently and have gotten better every time. The 4th time I got the tenderness perfect and I was finally able to get my hands on a full brisket weighing in at 15 pounds. I'm a little nervous about the time considering a 4 pound flat took almost 13 hours on my...
