Well that was a quick brisket!

Put on a 5lb flat at 2am in the MES and set the Auber at 250°. 6.5hrs later probed tender at 201° so I pulled it,that's few hours earlier than expected to say the least! Wrapped in foil and back into the MES at 140° for what will now become a late lunch/early dinner.I'm kinda glad I used a 6" tube of dust instead of the 12" as it worked out perfectly with exactly 6.5hrs worth of smoke.

I'll post up a few shots later.

I was getting faster than expected results with my 30 . turned out it was running hotter than I thought . I normally don't run a chamber probe . If you don't might be worth a check .
Be waiting for some pics .

I usually don't run a probe other than the Auber one but the with the TempSpike you don't have much choice and it did show as being about 5°-7° warmer than the set temp on the Auber but man I still expected it to take a little longer than 6.5hrs.

The Auber probe was clipped to the rack with the brisket and I had it pointing down,so technically it was below grate level.Probably should go back to clipping on the bottom rack and do a comparison with a separate probe clipped next to the food.

Best brisket I've ever done in the MES,hell Jane gave it the "Oh my God this is incredible" statement.Literally fork-tender yet completely slice-able.The only negative thing I can say is the lack of a real bark which I attribute to the short cook time.

SPG for rub and pecan shell pellet & char/hickory pellet dust for smoke.Sauteed greenbeans with peppers/onions and corn.Rosemary potato wedges.

Sure looks good. Sometimes I think brisket has a mind of its own for cooking times and results lol
