Weekend Brisket Success

This was my second attempt for a Texas-Style Smoked Brisket on the BGE. The first attempt was a packer's cut with point and flat back in November. The point came out find, but the flat was dry and seemed to lack flavor.

This attempt was an 11-pound flat with Butt Rub and mopped periodically with a mixture of apple juice, apple cider vinegar, and water. It was cooked entirely with the fat cap up. Total cook time was 17 hours at 235 degrees (grate).

I am happy with the results and can again show my face in Central Texas.

    did you put it in a cooler after you took it off the egg or did you just let it rest and cut??

    My normal routine is to rest briskets and pork shoulders in the cooler for about 2 hours. However, due to time considerations with some company and the fact it was so juicy and tender after 15 minutes outside of the BGE, I just went with it.
