First Brisket

[Slim4198]

Got myself a new Broil King Smoker! Super stoked, going to try a brisket this weekend, any tips or tricks anyone can give me before I get started?

Thank You!

Give yourself more time than you think you'll need.

I believe there are more tips and tricks for brisket than sands of the sea.....LOL. But here it goes. I would recommend you try either recipe in Jeff Phillips book I have used both and they are very good.

The other thing I would suggest is to start out with a Point Cut vs the full deal or just the Flat. That way you get more even smoking and its not as intense.....Good luck!

I've got a broil king gas grill and love it. Good luck with the brisket cook. Post some pics!

Will definitely post some pics of the aftermath, I was planning on setting the temp around 200 and smoking for 10-11 hours. I am hoping that is ample enough time to get it just right

Decided to try a chuck roast first to see how well I could manage. Need a few more tweaks with a marinade, and should be good to go. (I didn’t marinate this time, as was advised not to, and I think it was the wrong move)
