After seeing the thread last week for Aaron Franklin's brisket I got inspired. Cooked a 12 pound prime packer yesterday over hickory(didn't have any oak) with salt and pepper only. I did do some burnt ends and the pic below is them right before they went back on. I cooked on a WSM at 300F for 4 hours then wrapped in butcher paper. Next time I really want to go 250F and wait until the color is perfect. IMO the WSM doesn't do brisket justice. I think a stickburner would probably produce a better brisket but this one still came out great! The flat was really juicy...this was probably one of my better briskets. The slices were perfect with the pull test(in the pic I already pulled a few). Thanks for looking.

Looks good to me that is basically the way I do mine no matter the cooker this was on the stick burner
looks about the same to me

WSM does fine...I just want to cook one with fire only one day. Seems like beef would really take to an all wood fire. The brisket tasted great...I froze about 2 or 3lbs for a chili this winter.

It ended up being about 3 or 4 hours in the paper which confused me a little...I need to test my probes. Might do that tonight.

Might just be a stubborn brisket. My times are all over the map but I cook select, choice and prime so I am not consistent with that either.

Brisket looks darn good to me!

Was it a tight squeeze on your 18.5?

Yeah I had to fold the flat up a little. It fit fine once it shrunk up some. I usually use an empty beer can to hunch it up so it'll fit but it was 8:30am and I hadn't popped a top yet. :)

Yeah I figured there had to be some amount of finessing done to fit that thing in there. I might have had to crack one for that... Seemed like a legit reason to me lol
