Prime brisket on the stick burner,happy thanksgiving

[motolife313]

Got a nice packer and put some salt and pepper on it along with few other spieces. Smoking at 250 today. Took about a hour to come up to 225 with the brisket on so now I’m sticking extra wood in to get this puppy up to temp since I tossed it on at 9:30. Trimmed a lot of fat off and the big pockets of fat. There was a dinner plate full but it didn’t go to waste. That’s plum wood btw. I’m also running the secret weapon to get some extra heat

Nice, I done a brisky for today as well, resting in the cooler now! Yours is looking like an awesome start!

Nice. U must have been cooking last night or early this morning. I’m hoping mine will be done around 6 pm or earlier then I’ll give it a rest. Got the fb going pretty good

Looks good Moto! I was talking to a buddy of mine a while ago who also smokes and I mentioned plum, he was game but it's hard to get. Let us know how it turns out!

Good start Moto.
I'm real interested in the plum wood too. Looking forward to your comments.

The plum is good and a slow burner. I can’t really tell much difference between the woods really. It’s been on 8 hours and only at 180 so I’m guessing couple more hours. Temp is between 225 and 250 and smoker was not pre heated. Meat goes on before fire is lit so takes me little longer to cook stuff. Started as a nice 12.48 pounder. I just added some coffee garlic rub on top of the fat cap. I took the pic at the 5 hour mark

Took 12 hours to hit 201. Pretty tender but not as moist as I’d like. Last time the cutting board had more juices on it. I only let it rest 30 minutes. Seems like longer is better with brisket. But they wanted to eat. The pieces did get more moist as I cut into it tho. They were very happy with it
