    What will coffee do for a Brisket? I have not tried it yet on the briskets I've cooked, but even on the egg website there is mention of using it on brisket . I was given a dry rub with coffee from Hawaii and used it as a seasoning on burgers,came out pretty good .

    Since this is my first brisket, I have nothing to compare to.  I was given this recipe, maybe one of the old timers will explain.  I will say this turned out good.

    I hate the clean up from low and slow.  For those of you that were curious about the amount of oak, it may not show well, but the smoke wood ring was still quite intact, but it had been rendered to be pretty much like the lump.  It was solid, but char through and through.

    So in your opinion was the amount of smoke ok? Would you do it that way again? I'm guessing the way in which you arranged the oak around the edge made it work? I don't mean to question your methods as I'm still very much learning.

    At that temperature the chunks slowly smoked.  It worked just fine and I would do it that way again.  Most the smoke wood was still there, but reduced to lump.  If it burned too fast they would be ash.
