3rd brisket 1st time on webber

[Motorboat40]

3rd Brisket I've smoked now 1st time smoking Brisket on my new toy webber masterbtouch kettle. I rubbed it with Kosmo cow cover kosher salt course black pepper and a little sprinkling of Cheyenne pepper. Also wanted the try Brisket with no wrap. I used hickory wood chunks for the smoke. Ran it about 250deg for about 6 hours then went up to 275deg until the last hour or so i cranked up to 325 so it could get it done and have time to rest before we ate. I mopped it about every 2 hrs since I was going unwrapped, mop was olive oil cider vinegar beer paprika salt and pepa. Took a little over 11 hrs to get probe tender, then rested for 1 1/2 hrs in a pan with foil on top. It was still hot when I sliced it. Also got to try out my new bbq knife set I picked up at Costco very nice for only an 80 dollar knife set.
Was still moist except for about the last 3 inches of the flat. If you like a lot of bark this is the was to go. My next one I will try wrapped with butcher paper,

mop was cidar vinegar beer olive oil paprika salt and pepper

That is a tasty looking brisket you did Motor, I like it. Question did you have to refill the charcoal baskets?

Point for sure

The question that comes to my mind is why didn't you use that off set stickburner?

I had to add about a quarter chimney at the end but I also opened up the vents towards the end to speed the cook along so that makes the charcoal burn up faster. Pretty much work just like the slow n sear only no handy water pan the so i put water in the drip pan under the brisket.

No doubt the stick burner makes the best brisket, I've only had my new toy 3 weeks now i to try a brisket on it to compare. Been grilling since 1996 when I 1st moved out of my parents house and this is my 1st kettel, dam ive been missing out these things are fun to cook on! Yep the stick burn producesva better brisket but the kettle brisketbis a close 2nd in my opinion. Plus it is way easier to control the temps on the kettel.

Looks wonderful.

I trim off the thin part of the flat and save to grind for burgers. It's just gonna dry up when smoked.
