Independence Day Brisket w/ Q view

[austin buckeye]

Went to Costco and got a 14 pounder on the 3rd of July. Trimmed the fat cap down to 1/4 inch and removed the inedible fat from the brisket

slathered with Olive oil and applied SPOG and my own rub creation. Then back in the ice box for a few hours rest.

7:30 pm on July 3rd, Started MES40 to a cooking temp of 225
7:50 pm, filled AMNPS with mesquite pellets and lit one end
8:00 pm, placed AMNPS and brisket in smoker and went to bed
5:00 am (July 4th) inserted et733 probes into both the point and flat and turned up MES temp to 250.
9:00 am, brisket flat reached 196 degrees IT; point reached 203 IT. Removed brisket and doubled wrapped in foil. Placed brisket into an old Omaha Steaks insulated shipping cooler with a few Cleveland Browns blankets for a rest.

11:00 am, lunch time. Sliced the brisket and ate. Was seasoned to perfection. 1st time I BBQ'd a brisket without using the Texas Crutch and I must say, it turned out great.

Those look great, but I can't help thinking it would have turned out better if you had used something other than Cleveland Browns blankets :p

Looks awesome. I think that brisket is my favorite meat in the world. We are loving the leftovers from our 4th of July smoke. Nice job.
