Hey everyone,
I have started using a pellet smoker recently and decided to finally try a brisket for the first time! I feel like it came out great for my first one. I smoked at 225 for 8 hours before wrapping at an internal temp of 161 in the thickest part of the flat. Then let it run wrapped until it hit 206 internal and was like a hot knife through butter probing around it. I feel like it may have been cooked a little too long as parts of the point started falling apart while trying to slice it but all in all a good experience. The smoker used was a pit boss classic pellet smoker.
