    Brisket Cold Michigan style

    Got back from the bar. Fired up the smoker. Got a 15 pound prime grade brisket on the smoker. It's about 20 degrees outside. Had a bit of cold snap. Best part tho its hard for the smoker to overheat. I have 3 big logs of oak and the smoker is having a hard time getting over 200.
