My first ever brisket

[foudy]

So I did my first ever brisket, full packer on my MES 30. Received the brisket as a gift for my 40th bday. Never attempted before as I have heard horror stories on doing briskets. That's why my buddy bought me one. He knew I was nervous so he said this way, if I funk it up, I won't be out the money for the meat, just my time as a bit of supplies (wood, rub, etc). 12.5 lbs. I used Jeff's original rub, and also his BBQ sauce that I changed just a bit by adding a small cup of real strong coffee. I did a whole snap chat story so my friends could see my progress. 21 hours on the smoker at 225, with a two rest in a cooler full of pillows and towels. Did the burnt ends after the brisket rested. I could not be happier with the final results!
