Found a decent 22.3lb prime packer brisket at Costco.
Y'all know where I'm going with this don't ya, yep, another Extreme Hot-n-Fast brisket cook.
2.5 hours of mixed Hickory and Mesquite smoke at 275°-300°.
Then kicking the temp up to 375°-400°.
Once the IT hits 165° it'll be wrapped in paper, back into the 375°-400° and finished till probe tender.

22.3lb trimmed down to about 18lbs +/-.
Rubbed down with coarse Kosher salt, fresh cracked mixed peppercorns, granulated garlic and onion.
Wrapped in plastic wrap and set overnight to brine a bit.

Trimmed and Rubbed

Gotta try hot n fast on a brisket.
I started my 22 lb brisket last night at 10:00 pm. Running a steady 255° ish. In a hard stall right now.
IT hasn't budged in 2 hours.
Dinner is at 6:00...if it dont move here real quick, I'll be wrapping and bumping the temp.

There is Hot-n-Fast 275°-300°, and there is Extreme Hot-n-Fast 375°-400°.
Mine is a mix of the two, the initial lower temp provides more smoke flavor than the straight high temp.
