Have a 15pound brisket going on this evening about 10 or so this evening. thinking about a grid temp of 265 also was gonna inject it and slather with mustard and a ton of rub . cooking fat side up with hickory and cherry wood . Any suggestions or am i missing anything

Sounds good to me. I don't use mustard anymore because I'm lazy and I can't tell the difference. If it helps get more rub to stick to the meat, then it's a good thing because you're not gonna taste it (unless you use Creole mustard, I guarantee you'll taste that)...

I've started using Worchestershire sauce with the rub, per the texasbbqrub site. Sorta makes a paste of the rub.

You are in about 1 hr per lb territory at that grid temp so it will be ready by lunch time tomorrow. This is the temp I cook them and I get great results. Just didn't want you to be scratching your head at 11 am and wondering how to hold it for dinner.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

leave it alone. You'll ruin all the bark if you wrap it in broth. Just let if finishKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
@Cen-Tex thats what i decided right now its at 192 internal probe melts into it really easy except for a small section of it thinking i'll let it ride a few more degrees before pulling it . Any tips on seperating the flat and point i've never done one beforeLarge Big Green Egg , XL Big Green Egg . BBQ Guru, Weber Kettle, Weber Q grill for road trips.

sounds right to me.To separate the point, put the brisket on your cutting board with the fat end closest to you. There is a layer of fat and connective tissue that you can see pretty much righ tin the center (height wise). Just take a large knife and work it in there. It should slide right through with very little resistance. It really just kind of guides it own way through. Here's a pic of before the brisket is cooked so you can kind of see that layer of fat:Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

An hour per pound at 265 grid temp you say. Has that held true for you over several cooks?

first one i did but seems for this one to be accurate pulling it very shortlyLarge Big Green Egg , XL Big Green Egg . BBQ Guru, Weber Kettle, Weber Q grill for road trips.

It has for me. about 5 in a row since I bumped the temp up to 250-160 grid. it's right on an hr per lb or even a little lessKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
pulled and seperated hoping i did it right .if not still really juicy and tasty . Thanks again for your help Cen-TexLarge Big Green Egg , XL Big Green Egg . BBQ Guru, Weber Kettle, Weber Q grill for road trips.

man, looks awesome. I'm jealous. Looks like the top right pic is point and flat together but that's no big deal. You can still separate those and slice against the grain (make sure you are slicing everything against the grain).Or you can chop all that up and make chopped beef sammies. That's the way I love to eat brisket.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX
