How much was the brisket? I took major heat on my last brisket thread on the cost. <a href="http://s1226.photobucket.com/user/flytosail3/media/dd0040063228883aeff7537ff6be6279_zps104a7259.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee403/flytosail3/dd0040063228883aeff7537ff6be6279_zps104a7259.jpg</a> I usually get them for under $4.00, usually around $3.70. I'd say someone saw you coming. I don't know, I wanted to try one until I saw the price at HEB, a major chain here in Texas, and it was around $75.00. I'm not experimenting on something I have to take a loan out to buy. |

Look on youtube for Aaron Franklin's brisket videos. Mine come out pretty much perfect now that I know how the smoker behaves. That's as important as anything else. View Quote Franklin's is under the gun as well as other trendy Barbecue joints here in Austin. They may have to put smoke scrubbers in their smokers which is prohibitively expensive because neighbors are complaining about the constant smoke. Black's Barbecue here just got sued yesterday by the neighbors for constant smoke. You really can't blame them.

Lol at the people saying it'll take 8-10 hours at 225*.....that's a 14lb brisket. I bet it takes you at least 14 hours....probably longer.

Welp I'm sitting outside with a cold drink, watching my temp stay steady at 240 on the grate and around 225 in the dome. It's held for 3 hours now but I'm still not brave enough to go to bed.

[#12]
225 - 235 is where I keep the smoke. 230 is golden.
14 lb brisket usually takes me about 16 - 18 hours. I use oak and pecan to get the coals going and then add mesquite to get some smoke. I won't add any more mesquite after the 3rd hour. Only oak or pecan after that. And only enough of that to maintain the temp. If it stalls for more than 2 hours I do wrap it. When it's done wrap it in a towel and put in a cooler for at least an hour. Let us know how you like that mustard in the rub. I've done that a couple of times and they both came out very good. |

[#13]
Op where you at?
At this altitude your looking at 16 to 18 hours. Experience talking on this one. I won't crutch it but I will wrap it loosely and hold it in a cooler. Don't let the stall freak you out. It can do that, just let it go and you'll be fine. What kind of wood are you smoking with? I found hickory works great with brisket and pork . Good luck. Post up as it's going. |

Pull it at 198 - 202 degrees and wrap in towels and place wrapped brisket into cooler for 2 more hours. You'll need to factor in that additional time.

Slept for an hour and of course I dropped 20 degrees
I'm using the minion method and new briquettes (Stubbs) I built these little firebreaks using wet mesquite because the kingsford competition(that I'm used to using) burns hot and fast in my smoker Of course the Stubbs coal made it through the first one hit the second and stopped moving fwd I build a quickie coal bridge and it should be moving fwd now I see the temps coming up |

I've always wanted to smoke a brisket, but I want a system of setting it at the proper temp, and only needing to restock the smoking elements very few hours. In other words, minimal attention required. Could an electric or propane system work for this?

I do briskets on a WSM, 4500 elevation. Usually take 16 hours, minion, overnight, until flat is done.
With a packer, I always pull the whole brisket when the flat is where I want it. It's not so much a temperature, as a tenderness thing. When I can insert a thermometer/bbq fork in the flat with a little resistance, pull it. I start checking at 185, but it's more of a feel than a temp. Every brisket is a little different. Quickly separate the flat and the point. Wrap the flat in foil, wrap foil package in towels, and place in small cooler to rest for a few hours. Return the point to the smoker. You can return unwrapped if you have time and like bark. Foil wrapped if you are in a hurry and don't care about bark. OR, chip-chopped it up, re-rub, sauced, and in a chafing dish for another hour or so if you like burnt ends. When the point has finished cooking to perfection, the flat will have rested adequately, and all will be well with the world as long as you have a good beer. ETA - looks like you are off to a good start. Have fun and enjoy the BBQ. What you doing for sauce? |

They do hold a higher humidity level just because they're pretty much air tight and insulated. You may have to open the vents and remove the water pan if that's keeping your bark from turning out the way you like, but I don't have a problem. |

Well mine finally made it through the stall at 8:30 this am and started it at 1am. Hopefully it will be finished by 1:00pm for a total smoke time of 16 hours.
And I haven't opened the lid once or had to fuck with the fire. Egg smokers are definitely the way to go if you like low and slow. |

Burnt ends are awesome. My favorite part. I do use a sauce, just a tweaked version of Raichlen's basic BBQ sauce recipe.
I pull the point, rough chop into 1" cubes, re-rub, and then put back on the smoker in a chafing pan for another hour or two. When they are within reach of perfection, I sauce lightly. I give enough time for the sauce to caramelize a bit. It will be equally excellent with just a second application of rub. The sugars will still caramelize. Awesome goodness. |

View Quote I'm lazy about watching the fire as well, I have an akorn, but I use an electric controller to keep the fire steady. http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=14_27 Basically there's a thermocouple that you put on the iron grate, then it reads this thermocouple and has a fan that blows on the coals to get it hotter. So far no problems and it's basically hands off, unless you run out of fuel. Best of both worlds, actual charcoal for taste, but electric management. |

I'd say 16 - 18 hours - depending on how long it stalls. Good choice not to wrap - let it work through the stall and render completely. One it hits my temp mark I pull it off the smoker, wrap in foil then a blanket. Rest in a cooler for 2 hours and then slice - http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r24/Gatorcountry/20140918_210208_zps974d90c0.jpg View Quote Looks good, nice smoke ring. |

I went to stab the flat with the thermometer and it was tough as could be and sitting at 158 so I turned it around and it had to cook another few hours on the hot side pulled it when the flat read 195 at like 1600 It's all a learning process Next time I'm gonna stay up to midnight start it then wake up at like 5 to re coal it |
