Put my 17.5lb brisket on at 01:00 this morning.
2 hours later the probe in the point reads 109 degrees.
This was a little bigger than I was looking for. I wanted one in about the 14-14.5lbs. range. But this was it at Wal-Mart. The others were even bigger, except for one that was all of 7.5lbs.
Trimmed off a good 2 lbs of fat. But this brislet had a very uneven fat distribution..parts of the flat had almost no fat at all, and other parts had a half inch.
Going to be another all night smoke. Planning to eat by 17:00 on Friday.
