12 pound packer went on at 8:30 PM. Grid Temp with Digi Q DX is at 225. Dome temp is higher at 280 and I had calibrated the dome today. Hopefully this will not be an issue. The pit probe about 2 inches from the meat.

Looking at 1 1/2 hr per lb. Plan to pull and FTC around 2:30. -

Yes -
Dome temp is now 250 and Grid is steady at 225. So far so good.

I see you like the Texas style rub ( salt and pepper only). KC guy here, I like a few spices on mine. Looks like a good flat. Have fun.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

How's yours going. I'm at 176 deg, 6:30 am central.its had plenty of smoke so I've wrapped in its juices and letting it continue to cook to 200

Just checked at 7:15 AM Central. Internal temp is 175. DigiQ DX2 has kept the grid at 225 all night and the dome at 250. I do not plan on wrapping it. Riding it out until it is time to check for tenderness at 195. We are not eating till around 4 so I may FTC if needed. I planned on a 18 hr cook so it looks on track. -
As of 8:45 Grid Temp is holding at 225 and meat is at 182. My biggest fear was that it would be done way too soon. Expecting pulling at 2-2:30 but even if it is done around Noon I can FTC safely.

You can FTC longer if need be. Fil cooler up with hot water before FTC. Put towels in dryer works well too. You'll be fine. Lots of foilLBGE& SBGE———————————————•———————– Pennsylvania / poconos

Thanks, its reading 189 now. I think it will be at least another 1.5 hrs before I have to FTC. -
Brisket has been on for 15 hours. Now at 195 internal. Probed for tenderness. Needs just a little more time prior to FTC.

End result was good. Better than the last cook.

Thanks SGH, Your advice and the other mentors on this forum was very helpful. One issue I need to work on is the fat cap was not fully rendered. The brisket was fat side down the whole cook. Perhaps I need to flip it halfway or trim it more next time. I also should have let it rest more as the point was super hot after FTC for 2 hours. -
@dstearn
Brother I will be glad to offer you my thoughts on getting the fat cap to properly render if you would like. Feel free to call me anytime between 9:00am and 9:00pm CST. I'm no pro but I will gladly offer what I can my friend. Name is Scottie. #228-627-5400. I talk much better than I type.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

Thanks Cazzy, yes it did, my longest cook ever. Now I just need to let it rest more before slicng. The point was super hot when I took it out of the cooler. Next time I plan to let it rest on the counter loosely foiled for awhile prior to serviing. -
Looks great to me. Are you talking about the fat cap on the inside of the point or outside? If outside, make sure it is about a 1/4" thick. I don't worry about it on the inside because I am usually making burnt ends and I can trim it out. I think did an awesome job, but I understand about wanting perfection.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

Fatcap on the outside of the flat and point. As I was slicing the flat what was remaining of the 1/4 in cap was falling off as I was slicing with the brisket knife. The point was steaming hot so I waited about 30 minutes before serving it. I cooked it fat side down the entire cook and FTC for two hours.
