Franklin's Style Brisket

Doing my first Brisket on the egg since I got it back in October 16.  Put it on at 8:30 last night, stayed a steady 250 all night.  Then, I messed with the vents a little too much at 6:30am when it was running about 265, to only drop it to 215 for 2 hours! Hopefully that won't kill the overall time.  Internal temp is about 185 now, so should be good to pull and sit in about 10 degrees!

    Toothpick test not temp might be well over 200 when done

    As above-the brisket finish-line is all about the feel in the thick part of the flat.  When you get the "probes like buttah" result you are there.  Start checking once you clear 190*F or so then around every half-hour til you get there.  FWIW-
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    I've ruined many a brisket (so many that I gave up).
    Time to try again this year.
    OP — looks good, don't forget to post some finished pic's!
