Plate setter & brisket

I'm doing a brisket (Texas) for only the second time & I think that the first time I had the plate setter legs-down & put it right on there, but this time I have it legs-up with the grill & brisket & no drip pan.  Wondering what the best/your favorite set up is for brisket?  This is for an Egg-off for a company barbeque (I posted a few days ago, and thank you everyone for your advice!  Especially the video on trimming it) so the pressure is on.

Thanks!

    Good luck! You'll be fine.

    Brisket
    Grid
    Drip Pan
    Platesetter
    Charcoal

    Some people raise the drip pan off of the platesetter with little hex nuts so that the drippings don't burn in the drip pan. This also helps in terms of air flow in the egg.

    Some people also add a little water or apple juice in the drip pan to allow some extra steam to moisturize the beef (this also helps prevent the drippings from burning in the drip pan and causing a burnt taste on the meat).

    You'll be fine. Just get the egg stable and cook to temp. Keep it simple.
