The fit check http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/comment/1562315#Comment_1562315
I don't do overnight, so we set up tonight to start bright and early.
Took a couple of pounds of hard fat off, rubbed with mustard and Montreal. Set up with generous oak for smoke.
Unlike most my essays this one won't be all at once, but I will post as it goes along.

Not that you need it but good luck Doc. I too would rather get up early to start a cook than do an over nighter.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

@Doc EggertonI am interested how you light that fire with that amount of wood on..Thanks and good luck I will def. follow your post as I am planing a brisket soon..Greensboro North Carolina
When in doubt Accelerate.... -
Just started it in the center. You smoke a lot, and lose some small amount of smoke wood getting stable, but once you settle it in it smokes quite slowly. This is my first brisket, but I know this from doing smoked salmon. It is quite likely that after 10 hours there will still be chunk left. Currently holding rock steady at 235 for an hour. After some morning routine I will try and goose the temp up a little.johnmitchell said:@Doc EggertonI am interested how you light that fire with that amount of wood on..Thanks and good luck I will def. follow your post as I am planing a brisket soon..

Yeah I suppose that's right. I am putting a brisket on tonite, I wish I could get some oak around here. I'm going for a drive here in a bit with the wife to do some shopping and I'm going to look hard for it!NW IOWA

Over two hours after pulling the meat has only lost 15 degrees in the ice chest. Getting ready to carve.

The most tender piece of beef I have ever had in my whole life. Pick your cliche, melts like butter in your mouth.

Congrats Doc-Most eggcellent cook. You have now been sucked into the brisket vortex and will never escape-so relax and enjoy the journey. Gotta admit you jumped in with quite the quantity going with two out of the gate-but you will not find better eats. Home-run for sure! Continue to enjoy!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.

That is one mouth watering meal. Awesome Doc!

No coffee flavor, but very tender and moist. Good smoke flavor.
