Just wanted to share with everyone. I smoked my first brisket today and I was pretty happy with the results. I didn't start smoking until Thanksgiving 2018 when I decided to smoke Turkey on my Father-in-law's smoker, which he had never used. Since then I have become obsessed. I've done ribs, pork belly, pork tenderloin, a version of burnt ends with roast, and several other things. I had been dying to try brisket but knew it was a big undertaking. Local store had some on sale and today was my sisters birthday so I decided today was the day. Everything started great but it stalled early around 120. It took a couple hours to go up five degrees and I started freaking out. It was already getting a nice bark so I double wrapped it with foil and hoped for the best. It never got to 200 degrees, which I thought was necessary until I read some posts here. I thought the end result was ok for my first one and everybody enjoyed it. Thanks for all the great info you guys share, it helped a lot.
