Finally, A Brisket I Can Eat!

I did not paper or foil this one. After it hit internal of 192, I pulled it and let it rest with a tented foil cover.

Brisket looks Good but how and why did you decide to pull it off at 192*? 202*'is more like it if you wanna go by temp.......

I've read up a lot on what others have said about ideal internal temps and pulling on briskets (195-205). So I decided I'd pull on the low side and just tent it. I could always cook it a little more if it wasn't done. My last Briskets have been on the dry side when I pulled them at 200-205 so I decided to shoot for the low side this time.

Didn't want to overcook the flat and undercook the point, tried to find a happy medium on the Brisket. The Thermapen slid in and out like butter at the test areas, had the jiggle, so I pulled it.

Glad I did, it turned out absolute perfect IMO. Juicy, nice pull, good bark and light smokey flavor.

Awesome looking smoker. I saw everything except the flux capacitor, and of course the Fetzer valve. I understand it's all ball bearings these days.

I have those on order. :biggrin1:

Nice job! I know the feeling of hitting it right when it comes to practicing cooking brisket.
It took me quite a few times before I was satisfied with my consistency.

I dig the cooker as well!

How much did the flux capacitor cost?

Why do I immediately think "Wizard of OZ" when I see the drum?
I think it's the Tin Man hat.
Nice and funkalicious!.

A little pricey.

My next problem is how to get the drum up to speed to get it work. Take me far enough back where I can use my BBQ knowledge to beat out Myron in every BBQ competition. And become the "Smokerking!" :loco:
