    First Brisket Choice Angus "Natural"

    I smoke my briskets without foil at 200 degrees for about 1.5 hrs per pound.  Melts in your mouth.  I do this because logically water evaporates here at 212.  Less evaporation = moister meat.

    2nd smoke - Packer 10 lb Choice Angus Brisket

    I think the unit is bad.  The BBQ temp is spiking from 220ish to now 250 or so.  The MES stays constant around 225  They were cleaned with a moist sponge.

    2nd smoke - Packer 10 lb Choice Angus Brisket

    OK here it is!  I put a dry rub on it to sit overnight.  It contains no sugar. I plan to start it up sometime tomorrow night.  I am just debating whether or no to add more rub first that might have some brown sugar in it for a good dark crisp coating.

    First Brisket Choice Angus "Natural"

    I want this brisket as tender and juicy as possible, obviously,  I have never used a choice Angus brisket. I was thinking about injecting it, but I want as much of that angus flavor as possible.  Most recipes use apple juice or beef stock.  I am concerned that these types of solutions will...
