Saturday Brisket
After trimming the brisket a little more(thanks for the suggestions in the earlier post), the brisket is on the egg! My 7 week old son was up at 4:45am to make sure dad put the brisket on early enough for tonight's dinner. Planned on using white oak for smoke, but realized this morning there was no more. So, I am using hickory for smoke. Only other problem I didn't think about was the brisket being too long to fit on my large. Luckily I had a fire ring for a wok laying around to help with that. I wanted to use the Stoker for this cook, but the weather man is calling for showers and storms during the day, so I'm going commando. I will try to post updates during the day.

Good luck- make sure to leave enough time for a couple hrs FTC'd.Greensboro, NC

Glad someone else has brisket questions this morning. I put this brisket on the large last night and it has been going for 12 hours. Pit temp is 230 and the internal of the brisket is 174. At what internal temp should I foil the brisket and put it back on the egg? I have always taken my briskets off around 200 to 210, but I have never foiled them before the end of the cook.

@Raleighguy, what temp are you cooking? I agree you want to leave time for ftc.
@Jimbobq: You going through the stall just fine. You can foil or raise the temp to push through if you get tight on time.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++Austin, Texas. I'm the guy holding a beer. -
Yeah, my impression is that most of the "great and wise" brisket cookers here do not foil brisket unless time becomes an issue. Since I'm not a member of that club I'll defer to those who are if they contradict me.

Good luck with your cook! I smoked a brisket on the egg last weekend and it came out great. Yours looks like a pretty good cut of meat. How many lbs?"I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

@CajunEggHead: It is a Challenger Cart. I really like it.
@JohnInCarolina: The weight before trimming was just a little over 11 lbs.

You're off to a nice start. You can build yourself a rain proof box to hold your stoker in bad weather for pretty cheap.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

You planning on wrapping it at some point?"I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike -
@R2Egg2Q: The rain proof box for the Stoker has been on my to-do list for awhile, but haven't got around to it! Have to get on it soon so I can use it when there is a threat of rain.
Hated to open the egg, but I wanted to remove the wok fire ring since the brisket could now fit on the grid. Here is where I'm at right now. Don't know the IT right now since I don't have a thermometer in it yet. Don't plan on wrapping this one. Hopefully, I only have to open the egg once more to put on some ABT's and put a thermometer probe in.

Well, the egg settled in at around 320 deg. this afternoon and I didn't fight it. Went to go put a therm probe in the brisket, and found out it was very close to being done. Good thing I went out to check on it! Let it go about 30 more minutes and then pulled it. This pic is the brisket about to get wrapped up for some FTC for a couple hours. Will post some sliced pics later on.

Well, the finished product was good. My wife and I both agree that the point is good stuff! It was a fun cook, and fun to eat.
