First cook on new smoker

[Bryant Reynolds]

Well it’s my first cook on the GC 28, why, oh why did I have to cook a brisket! Sitting here staring at a dot thermometer reading 173. Wishing that my brisket would get done. Is that the brisket stall blues?

It happens to us all. It will be done when it is ready!

 

[Bryant Reynolds]

Yep, thinking I should have went with ribs right now, but when it’s done I’ll be happy it’s brisket

Patience is a virtue and the results are fabulous like my supper tonight. I personally haven't used a thermometer in years.

Good luck

Let it go if you're not in a hurry or wrap in foil if you are.

Looks awesome turtle. Think I am just gonna let it go and drink a few more beers

Good plan, relax and have a beverage. And pics when done!

 

[BigTurtle]

Absolutely. Texas crutch works great but time and temp turns out a better bite.

 

[SmokinAl]

So how did it turn out?

Not too bad. No pics, I think my camera was broken, was seeing two of everything when I tried to take them. Lol. Great smoke ring, tenderness was awesome, awesome bark, but a little dry. Ribs are up next this coming Tuesday will take pics of them because I am doing them at work, so I think my camera will be working right.
