Its a Beautiful Day for a Brisket Smoke!! Heavy Q/View

[demosthenes9]

That's some beautiful brisket SF.  Reading through, did I see that you did NOT foil it during the actual cook ?  Rather, just foiled it to rest in the cooler ??

Hey Demo, yeah I foiled it....was at the bottom of the very first post.  I took it to 170 IT, foiled it after putting some liquid (not much) in with it.  Once the IT got to 190, I pulled it and threw it in a cooler and covered it with a sweatshirt 

  Thank you for the compliment, it was by far the best brisket I ever made (this one made my total 3).  I'll definitely be doing alot more of them in the future!

Yep, there it is, I completely skipped right over it.  It's taking me longer to get dialed in as you're brisket looks a heck of a lot better than any of the 10+ that I have done:)

Just gotta be patient with it bud.  It will work out for you.  What temps are you running, and are you using probes for IT, Cooker temp?  You should start a thread with the results from your previous brisket cooks detailing the steps you took and what you think went wrong.  I bet there will be TONS of members to chime in and help you figure it out, including me!
