I have 3 briskets in the freezer and this one is 16lbs +.
I have a love hate relationship with my GMG. By that I mean I love to hate it!
It never has the correct cooking temps. Always a 20-30 degree delta between the actual rack temp and the cooker panel temp.
So, with a 215 temp request the rack temp was 180ish! Anyway moving on....
So not to dwell with cooking on it, I'm in the process on a Low&Slow overnight cook. More of a hands-off approach.
Very light trim with SuckleBusters 1836 Beef Rub and light dose of SuckleBusters Brisket Rub.
At about 7:00pm last night warmed up the GMG up to 215* and let it roll on till 6:00 this morning.
It was at 150*ish and I bumped it up to 275*. At 9:45am and 160*+ I wrapped it and back on at 280*.
I'll check it around 11:30am and see where it is at.
I will say the bark was well set and very little moisture loss at wrap time.
Updates coming later today.

Pulled it around 208-209 in the flat. Still had a tug 10 minutes earlier.
Now much better.
Sitting in the new to me cambro for the last two hours.
Probably take it out at 150*.

Well I did take it out of the cambro at 155 then family plans had them coming over at 6:00 for brisket!
So back on the GMG at 165 to keep warm till 6:00. I’d say it was a top 20.
It was a hit with the family. So that’s good.
