First Brisket

[ncwolf]

I made my first Brisket this weekend in what will probably be my last smoke before spring. I started with a 6# flat trimmed it and cut it in half to try wrapping and not wrapping.

Smoked with royal oak charcoal and chunks of oak for about 4 hours.


Here is the unwrapped one when I took it of the smoker.


here is the center after resting.

Wow! looks like your experiments worked..
Looks juicy and has a crust. And a smoke ring.
Cool!
Point for that effort!

Nice smoke. Looks like you have it down pat. Thanks for sharing.

Curious why this might be the last smoke of the year?

Busy with kids and family events until Christmas and January and February are a bit cold.
