After the first one I did a couple moths ago , I've been waiting to do another . High winds we had last week came thru and smashed my new 26 " kettle , so had to fix that first , and wanted to see if it was gonna run as good as it did the first time . So ran up to GFS , got what I needed .

Got the kettle set up ,

Trimmed and seasoned while the kettle was getting settled .
Salt and pepper only .

Started the fire about 1:00 in the afternoon . Settled in at 250 and ran up and down , 225 / 250 until midnight . I just let it go . Internal temp was 180 / 165 . Wrapped in butcher paper , and into the oven set at 225 .

Set the probe alarm for 200 , went off at 2:00 . Wrapped in towels and put in the cooler .
I ended up putting it back in the oven @ 170 until time to eat .
Turns into a long cook time , but same as I did it the first time , and it was great .
Out of the oven ready to slice . This thing is like jello .
I wrapped foil around the butcher paper when it went back in the oven . Softened up the outside .

Parts of the flat dried out some , but the rest is really good . Son makes a great baked mac n cheese .
Baked beans and steamed veggies , I was stuffed .

Thanks for lookin .
 
That's a great piece of work right there Chop! I haven't been able to stay awake long enough to throw my hat into the brisket ring yet. Like, RAY

Looks great and congrats on the ride!

Do I have this correctly? Midnight into oven, 2PM hits 200IT? A few hours in cooler and then a few at 170F in oven?

Thanks Ray . Throw your hat in the ring , and your brisket in the oven and go to bed , lol .
Man that brisket looks outstanding! I'm loving the pink butcher paper too...turns out a much better finished product than just foil IMO.
The paper does work good , but I wrapped it in foil too when I put it in the cooler .
Next time paper only . Thanks .
I agree WOW!
Thanks !

Yup , but more than a few . Stayed in cooler until IT was down to 150 . Then I held it in the oven til time to eat .
Awesome job on that brisket and the sides are no downer either.
Thanks . My son does a great job on that mac n cheese .

I was talking to a guy in Sam's Club about a month back who was a competition BBQ guy. He said that's exactly what he does when he's doing brisket at home for himself. He was getting a case of packers and said the competitions were brutal using a offset, but that was his thing. With your endorsement and what the guy at Sam's had to say I'll smoke 5'6 hours on the SQ36, throw the brisket in the oven at 275º, and hit the sack. Thanks Chop! RAY
