It's been 6 months since I last did one and decided Easter Sunday was a good occasion for firing up the smoker. Done it many different ways, super low/slow overnight, high heat, etc, etc, etc. I usually use a fan controller because I'm wired like an anal engineer. Today I said fuck it, and just let the smoker fluctuate naturally, relaxed and hardly gave it a thought after the prep work was done  Came out great, definitely top 3 all time (I dunno, maybe 20+ full packers under the belt). A little homemade sauce on the side and the best potato salad in the western hemisphere, damn it was good.

15# packer, local butcher saw me recoil a bit when he told me that was his smallest, so he kindly lopped off the very tapered end of the flat to bring it down to 11#. I probably trimmed another 1/2 # from it at home. Finished it in 7hrs.

7 hrs? Tell me how you did it. I have not tried a brisket yet, but would like to do one this summer.

Must have done it hot and fast.

What'd you smoke it at?

How was it?  I'm usually at 8-12 hours on mine.  It looks good, nice bark.

Like I said, I kinda let it fluctuate, I saw the temps anywhere between 260-320 the times I did actually look.

Lol, you got me there. Sounded different in my head when I typed it but it's hysterical reading it in your post.

Missing details such as type of smoker, type of fuel used, type of rub used, etc.  Looks good though, nicely done.
