Did my first brisket on Sunday. It turned out great, and I'm thankful for all of the insight I've received on this forum. Glad I waited until Costco FINALLY put prime whole brisket in my local store. Only change I will make on my next one is to back off the rub as it turned out a bit to heavy on the salt for my tastes. Here are some pics.

    Dang-talk about a great cook and first brisket.  Congrats on the cook and result.  Nice smoke ring as well.  
    BTW- I am with you on lightening up with the salt.  I don't go nearly as heavy with it relative to ground pepper.  Keep adjusting as you go and you will find a good ratio.

    @volfan1, you nailed it and that looks professional with the smoke ring.  myron Mixon would drool over that!    

    I think we will do our annual memorial day brisket cook this year for veterans so hopefully you can participate.   SRF may donate a brisky to a random participant....
