Clay-b-que
is Blowin Smoke!
I am very excited to smoke my first brisket. So much so that I think I have officially overloaded on information. I have watched all the Franklin videos several times. I have read and re-read Bludawgs recipe and several others. So here are my questions.
1. I have a 13.5 lb brisket. I have read it takes 1-1.25 hours per pound. That would be around 16-17 hours on the long side. But bludawg and a few others say they can get a brisket done in 7 hours?!? What should I plan for? This makes all the difference in smoking all night or just starting in the morning.
2. I have also read that I should wrap at 4 hours. Is this true?
3. I have seen 250 (Franklin) temp, 275 bludawg temp, and 325 temp. Which one and I am assuming that the temp affects the time. Which one to use?
I know I need to check for probe tender and that is when it is done, but I have to have this ready for a birthday party tomorrow afternoon around 4:00 and I don't want it not to be done. I can't afford to screw this $67 piece of meat up or my wife will never let me buy another brisket!
