Looks really good! I don't think brisket is as hard as people think it is, it's just really intimidating for some reason.

It was easier than I thought, for sure. But I'm gonna credit the PBC for that.....lol :mrgreen:.
Thanks to everyone for the nice comments!

somebody shut me the fark up.
I'll assume you didnt refill the coals and you started out 300-325 and the temp decreased as the cook went on......averaged 250*?

Nope, temps were right at 265-270 for the first few hours. I noticed temp dropping and when it hit 244 I went for a look. I noticed the coals burning funny so I rotated the basket to get the more unburned coals towards the intake and that helped get temps back up to 270. I have a pizza pan under the coal basket and I think the edge is blocking airflow a little. I'm going to remove it for the next cook. Other than that temps held pretty steady. Towards the very end I pulled a rod to get the temp up and hover about 285.
That looks really moist and good

Thanks Kevin!........I NEVER use lighter fluid! What I do is fill the coal basket full. Then take out 36 briquettes (I use Stubbs briquettes). 36 keeps my Temps around 265-270 with the intake 1/4 open. I put 3-4 medium sized chunks of wood in the coals left in the coal basket. I light the 36 in a chimney until they are all pretty well lit. Then I dump the hot coals over the top of the unlit coals and wood in the basket. Using a leather grill glove I pick up the basket and place it in the PBC. Put in the rods and put the lid on. Get my meat ready...in this case I rubbed down the brisket. That usually takes 15-20 minutes in which case the PBC is usually at its cooking temp. Open the lid and hang the meat, shut the lid.....done!
I use a thermometer to measure the temperature of the PBC because I'm OCD about the temp....lol. :mrgreen:
And thank you to all of you posting the comments in this thread. I wish you all could taste the brisket. It tastes as good as it looks!
