Brisket!

[robbieh]

It's been a while since I've posted here. Doing another brisket, so thought I'd share.
This one is 4lbs. The last time I smoked one this size, it took about 13 hours smoking @225-250. Does that sound right?
Using my new Dyna-Glo 40" propane smoker. So far, I love it.
I bring briskets to an IT of 170F, wrap in foil and let it go to 205F. Then wrap in some old towels and into the cooler for a good hour or two.
Comes out perfect!

Sounds like a good plan and off to a good start!

So the brisket went in at 2am. Wrapped it in a towel and into the cooler at 5pm. Is 15 hours in the smoker at about 225-250F normal for a 4lb brisket?
Either way, I'm extremely happy with the way it came out. Left in the cooler for a good hour and a half. Great bark, great taste, and as tender as can be!

Thanks! Still fairly new to brisket so I'm very happy with it and I appreciate the compliment.
Looking for some good brisket rubs. Any suggestions? I used a bbq rub and put some onion powder with it. Taste was good.
Ribs tomorrow
p.s. - what's with all the ads and pop ups on this site? Wasn't like this years ago
