Another Brisket cook

[SmokyMose]

It's been a while since I posted any kind of cook here, so be patient..
I've had a small point in the freezer for a couple of months and since it's nice here today I figured I'd dust off the offset.
Gave it a coat of S&P and it went in at 10:45. Started out fine at 260 to 270 but then the wind picked up and temps were all over the map LOL!
By early afternoon I finally got a handle on it. At 1:30 the point was at 158 and I put a pan of taters in.
At 3:00 the meat hit 180 and got wrapped in paper. Immediately after that it dropped to 177 and stayed there for a while. The smoker was
running between 250 and 280 by that time but no worries....
By 4:30 the point was at 197. Bounced around between 201 and 202 for around 20 minutes and then jumped to 204....
Pulled both the meat and taters and let the point rest in the paper for about a half hour before slicing.

As usual I underestimated the wind, but it all came out good.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to post pictures. Sorry...

Thanks all!
Looks like I did the typo thing again. When I talked about the smoker running between 150 and 180 I meant 250 to 280, but I guess you knew that.

Thanks, randy! Since you're from Austin (I'm an Aaron Franklin fan) I'll take that as a real compliment :-)

Great looking meal! Looks like you got a nice smoke ring and some good looking bark!

Thanks, Travis! According to the Mrs. the potatoes were overcooked and the carrots weren't soft enough, but the brisket was delicious. I guess I'll take what I can get LOL!
