I did a brisket on saturday, no pics sorry. I tried to solve the problems i had last time. Last time the smoke was so overwhelming my wife wouldn't eat it, and i only ate it drenched in BBQ sauce. It was like making out with a smoker only slightly more tasty and much less sexy. This time it was delicious, i mean great everyone loved it, but i may have cheated.
In order to keep the smoke flavor reasonable i foiled it about half way through. Drenched it with a mop and it was so tender and really good. But what did i do wrong the first time? any guesses. I used mesquite the first time and ran out of charcoal so i used mostly wood toward the end. I thought that was probably it. This time hickory wood and foiled half way through. Also pulled it out at about 180 instead, is that right or should i go higher?
Thanks
