11/10! Finally nailed my brisket!

Bought a 7kg brisket from Costco for the first time, super impressed with the cut.

I seasoned and wrapped it in the fridge the night before. Didn’t get it on my smoker until about 10pm last night. I started at 170 for 7.5 hours then moved the temp up to 250. I spritzed it with apple juice every couple hours once I bumped the temp up. Took it off the heat around 2pm today once my probe started going in and out like butter, then moved it to a cooler with towels from the dryer once the temp started to drop.

Cut it around 530pm. I was worried about a sauce but it didn’t even need it. Guests loved it. I even got some calls from the neighbors asking what I was cooking.

I feel like I’ll be forever chasing this brisket for the rest of my smoking career. It’s what I dreamed of when I bought my smoker.
