Trying again… brisket going in.

[SmokerNTraining]

Second attempt.
Pre-trim: 18.8lb prime from Costco.
Post: 15.3lb.
Smoker: MBE 40”
Seasoning: mustard binder, hard 8 bbq (outta Dallas). Basically salt, pepper, garlic.
Wood: Post oak

Went into smoker at 6pm at 225. Taking recommendations from the posts I’ve read , I’ll let it go until 165 AND the bark is set. Then wrap in butcher paper and back in until probe tender. Open the paper for like 20 min, and then rewrap and place in cooler for 5 hour rest.

Sounds like a solid plan.
But remember...............
Pics or it didn't happen
I would put the paper wrapped brisket in a pan if you have room.

I don't do the cooler rest , but let the temp of the brisket start to drop before the cooler hold .
