Looks great, but I can barely see a smoke ring.:biggrin:

 

[jcbigler]

So what all did you put in your rub?

 

[foxvalleysmoker]

Pretty basic
Black pepper
Himalayan pink salt
Onion powder
Garlic powder

Also injected some beef broth

So, about that Himalayan pink salt...are you sure it was actually Himalayan salt? And not some sort of curing salt? Because that smoke ring looks really huge and pronounced, the way the fake smoke rings are when you use cure or Tenderquick.

Yes it's actually real pink salt. No cure salt here. Been using it for a couple y are now on other foods. Wife gets mad when I use it since its pricy.

Thanks. I'm loving the new GMG it's so easy to control now vs my old propane unit. Looking forward to smoking more.

Now need to find a good insulating blanket for cold weather smoking.

It's a beauty. You did a great job.. I hope mine looks as good.. well I will Know in a few hours after the resting in the cooler..

Looks like you nailed it for sure.

That looks good - I was curious about the smoke ring too. How long was the smoke?

I don't inject my brisket, it makes it taste like pot roast - the Brisket flavor is unique and best not covered up. IMHO

I smoke it at 180 for 1-1/2 hours then up the temp to 245 until brisket temp reaches 165 then I triple wrap my t and place back in smoker at 275 until temp hits 200. Then I take it off and put it in a cooler Til ready to eat. Usually 1-3 hours. Total time has been 8-10 hours pending size.

There is something Magic about the 203 temp - I agree! Our times are similar.

What wood do you use?

Mesquite or a pit master blend.
