My First Brisket

[saugeyejoe]

I finally got around to doing a brisket.  5 pounder from Wally World.  Cooked in the MES at 225, wrapped in foil at 160.... then to 200.  Used a mix of apple and hickory.  A "few" cheap beers got me through the 12 hour smoke.

Salt, Onion powder, pepper, garlic powder and a touch of cayenne pepper.  Injected with a little Italian dressing.

Out at 200.

Looking good......

Looks good! I got my first ever brisky in right now!  Ran out of cheap beverages so sent wife back to town to refresh the supply. It's been in since about noon and right now I'm only at 156 internal...long night ahead of me..good night for a movie !

What temp did you cook at?

I set the MES at 225 and never looked back..........Took around 12 hours for a ~5 pounder.

Great looking first brisket. Nice job. How much Italian dressing did you inject?

Looks like it turned out good for you.

 

[saugeyejoe]

I injected it with about 6 tablespoons, give or take a little.

Turned out pretty good, I was happy with the results.
