My first brisket cook and just when I was ready to put the meat on the egg it started raining. So its my first rain cook also.
I rubbed it with just a simple salt and pepper rub and let it sit on the counter for an hour like Franklin recommends. It went on the egg at stabilized at 250. After it stabilized agin I bumped the temp to 275. Been on an hour as I write this and the meat probe is reading 115.

Thanks. I'm waiting a little more impatiently than you.
At 152 now and appears to be in the stall. About 2 more hours until my planned serving time of around 5:30 PM.Marshall in Beautiful Fruit Cove, FL.

You can always wrap it to speed it up.

Flats have an intolerable disposition for being a challenging cook. I wish you good luck.

If you want to eat in a couple hours I would foil and bump the temp to 350. You'll want a good 30-45 minute rest at least before serving.Milton, GA

I took your advice and bumped it to 350 after wrapping it.
Plan to pull at 203 unless you guys think otherwise.Marshall in Beautiful Fruit Cove, FL.

Probe it. Buttah, done.

I pulled it at 204 and let it sit wrapped for about 45 minutes. It was awesome. i would have expected a larger smoke ring but other than that it was tender and had a great taste to it.

I'm very happy with my first brisket attempt. Just a flat but it wasn't dry and it was all consumed. The family liked it so I guess that's a win.

You can see where I bumped the temperature to get it to finish on time - pulled at 204.Marshall in Beautiful Fruit Cove, FL.

I've never had the thick pink smoke ring on any I've done either! Smoke flavor was there, but not the prized pink smoke ring.
I've read amazing ribs info about a smoke ring and got over it, but must be something about the bge and limited air/oxygen in the cooking environment. Just a guess on my part!
Looks awesome and moist! Nice cook! Looks like you finished only about 30 minutes late, just enough time for an extra cocktail!Large BGE - 2014
