Fired the pit up at 4a and it was ready just before 5a. Seasoned a 13.5lb brisket with SPG and a little magic dust and been running about 245-255 since then. All Pecan today. Gonna be a long slow and relaxed day. Never great pictures until it is done :)

Looks good. I hope you have a charcoal cooker. It's cold for Texas today. I wouldn't be outside feeding splits.
 
Now that is interesting: mixing in some Magic Dust with the SPG. I always keep both on hand. May have to try that. Nix that: WILL have to try that.

Enjoy your day, sir.
 
@Paul - Yes, feeding splits and pretty sure it has gotten colder since I started this morning. Thermometer says 39deg.....

@aks801 - Normally don't put Magic Dust on Beef but it was out on the counter so I sprinkled some on. Never used pickle juice on a brisket before but I am squirting it on every 2 or 2.5 hours. Guess we will see how this turns out.

I'm calling this my Texans Brisket Magic.....They are going to need it tonight - From Pearland originally.
 
Not much difference - except it turned itself around in the smoker. 6.5 hours in and 151deg in point...been there for pretty long time but at least it is almost noon....which means........

What a difference 250 miles make.....I miss the weather in
Pearland vs. Arlington.
 
Smitty - You got that so hot you warped your metal........Good things com to those who wait.......Tried the hot and fast a few times and can't do it........
 
I'm a couple towns over what time will it be done? I love low and slow cooking. Nothing like drinking cold beer and stoking a fire.

I was in Mason and Llano yesterday and it was in the 70's. The further east I drove towards home the colder it got. :mmph:
 
The suspense is killing me........good things come to those who wait........The house smells like a BBQ joint :)

Final Brisket pics from today

Came out really good. I give it an A for taste but B for being a little too cooked. Not falling apart but almost. Jeanies chicken looked better :). I normally end up a little over 200deg but pulled these at 198 because they were probing tender. I tried really hard to taste the pickle juice I mopped on - about 5 times - but really couldn't so not sure if it did anything. It obviously didn't hurt anything.
