So I'll be preparing my second brisket , a 7.5lbs, this one will be almost half weight of the first one (19lbs if I recall) so I'm planning to let it ride @275 starting at 6am so I'll be ready by 16:00 on Saturday.

I  used nice coating of coffee rub:


And had set up the Egg with Apple and Hickory chips so I just light it at 5am:


Hope everything goes as plan. Any suggestions are more than welcome.

    Good luck and enjoy the remainder of the cook.

    Probing like buttah almost all the brisket, seems kinda dry though:

    It was somewhat dry compared to the 19lb full packer from December

    Looks like a winner. Was it the same grade/source of meat as your previous one?

    Last one was a Choice from Costco EUA this one was from HEB Mexico with No Grade, definitely there's a big difference on grades.

    I would agree with this statement.  I cooked a choice and it was good but not great.  The last 3-4 have been Prime and there certainly appears to be a difference.  If I only had choice available, I would be fine.  However, HEB in Texas have Prime for under $4.00 per pound daily.

    So right with that statement.  However, there is a major difference between a 19 lb and a 7.5lb brisket even with the same grade.  

    Looks like you got a great result.  Enjoy the banquet.
