Well here it is! My first attempt at cooking a SRF brisket.
Trimmed weight is a little over 13 lbs.
I plan on a 15 hr cook and will FTC for a few hours prior to serving.

It is 10:00 AM and the beast has been smoking since 11:30 pm last night at 225 grate. I had an problem with a new grate probe which was defective when I started the cook. After I replaced it with the old probe the temp stabalized at 225 and has stayed that way all night. Plan is to probe for tenderness at 185 internal.
-
Good plan but don't be surprised if you end up in the low 200's before that flat lets loose and probes like buttah. Great eats await.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.

Checked at 185 however my meat probe was in the point not the flat. Relocated the probe and it is now 178.

I have had prime go at 189-190. Relax, it is done, when it is done. Enjoy the results.

I'll throw this out there as well. at 225, you may have many hours left. Not sure when you want to eat but could be 4-5 more hours if your flat is stalled at 170. That bark looks pretty new to me (very mahogany in color and very few dark spots). I'm thinking you have a ways to go. Hard to tell by looking but mine are way darker than that by the time they are done.

^^^^ Great plan-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.

At 196 internal. Just probed with the Thermapen, still feeling resistance. Will let it ride till temp is 200. Bark is still not dark. Should I raise the grate temp?
-
The flat is starting to probe like butter just not the thickest part of the flat. Internal temp is 202.
-
Don't mess with the temp-you are close. In most brisket cooks for me some part of the flat (not the thickest) will not join the party when the great majority gets the "probes like buttah" feel. Regardless, I declare victory and wrap and pack (FTC) after letting it sit on a cooling rack for around 20 minutes to stop the carryover cooking. Generally works. FWIW-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.

Its the thickest part that has some resistance. The rest is like butter.
-
This is one of those times-given you have cooked prior briskets then you know how close it is to hitting the promised land. I would judge based on the volume of the thickest part-is the resistance across the entire flat to point seam or just pockets? If random pockets then I would declare victory, if a great majority then I would hang on for a while longer. But it's your brisket...Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.

It looks great. I with Cap. I find the rest usually pulled it through when it's this close. I never let them go over 203. At that point, even if they are not 100% like butter, a little time out in the cooler for misbehaving usually does the trick.

That is a piece of work-looks great and since you are into Lone Star then at the risk of the obvious-do not go down the burnt ends road. Enjoy the point-a real banquet awaits.
