Smoming First SRF Brisket

in Beef
Will we have some friends coming over for a get together so I decided to smoke one of the 16 lb briskets I bought on BOGO last November.  I pulled it out Tuesday to thaw, trimmed 2.69 pounds off of it, rubbed it down and put it back fridge while egg got to temp.
I am using Oakridge Black Opps rub.

I put the brisket on at 11:50 when egg was at 225.  When I got up at 8:30 the internal temp was 145 and the egg was at 196.  Brisket is in a stall right now and don't need it till 6 so I  am bringing temp on egg up a little.  Plan on doing burnt ends with point since my wife asked for them.

I have noticed a little smoke coming out at the gasket, may be time to change it, but my egg is holding temps though.

Thanks for looking, more to come

    Forget the haters man. Burnt ends > sliced point.   Also... when is this KC egg fest you proposed to me!?

    Your using black ops. Good choice. Try not saucing the burnt ends. 

    Remove the point when your about to slice your brisket and season the bottom side with more black ops. 

    Put it back in the egg at 275 for 2 hours. Wrap in foil with butter for 1 hour. Rest and cube.  

    Thank me later ;)

    Mr. Jedi (aka @bhedges1987) when you do burnt ends do you put them in an aluminum foil tray, add butter and cover the entire tray with foil? 

    Sometimes I get lazy and just hack of the point with flat underneath, cube the whole thing, and put that in a foil tray.  Guess I should take the time to remove the flat as well.

    Great looking cook- no comment on the burnt ends sacrifice ;)
    However, on an almost tangential note I have become a burnt ends consumer-just use pork belly.
    Enjoy the cook and follow-on eats.
    I know @bhedges1987 would worry if I didn't mention burnt ends =)

    I asked the wife about saucing the burnt ends and she said it was up to me.  So I probably won't sauce them.  The brisket is at 160 now, one heck of a stall.  I may pull, remove some fat, put rub on in areas of cut and put them both back on till they probe like butter.  Then cube the point, put in foil pan with more rub and​ butter for an hour.  

    As for the get together, family and life has got in the way.  We had 3 sports going for our son so not much free time on the weekend, but that should change.  I will try and put something out soon about it.

    Just finished separating point from flat, added rub and back on.  They feel pretty good right now, but I am going to check in an hour to see how they are doing.  I don't need them till 5:30.

    @bhedges1987, flat is in a foil pan wrapped up in its own juices and FTC'd.   The point is in a foil pan with a half stick of butter for another hour or so, then FTC'd till dinner and cubed up when slicing flat.

    Yep. The first two hours unwrapped though to produce some more bark. But the 3rd hour you are correct. I put the whole point in. I don't cube until after it's done.

    Sigh... pork "burnt ends" no wonder you're such a hater. Burnt ends come from beef man! UNsauced to your belief. 

    One day you may may understand when you step out of that Texas bubble ;)

    I guess I created a new term to use.  It was fun, but cleaning the patio sucked, but looks good now. I need to reseal the patio.
