About to throw this baby on at around 11:00 PM. It was 14.34 lbs untrimmed. After trimming, it's just shy of 11 lbs. Hopefully I'll be able to get a little sleep, but I have tomorrow off, so no worries either way.

    Keep us posted. It's still very cold outside but your photo makes me happy that spring is only a month away.

    Good luck. You doing burnt ends also?

    Thx for the support! ;)
    @henapple, that's not a dumb question at all. :) It's the best part of a brisket IMO. You take the fatty point and cube it up, then toss it with sauce and throw it back on the smoker for awhile. Makes a killer sandwich. I've only made them once before with Big Bob Gibsons technique. With his technique, you just separate the point from the flat, then throw the whole point back on the smoker for awhile longer...,then cube, sauce and serve. Here is a post that I made on another forum about it awhile back.... This was before I discovered the egghead forum. ;)

    I've never smoked a packer. I'll freeze left overs if I have to but usually try not to. I'm not proficient enough to serve brisket to larger parties unless it's people that I never want to come over again. Hey, there's an idea.

    The sign is blocked by a light but does it say "beware of attack chef". If so, that's greatness.

    I bet that smoke smells awesome. I haven't gotten a bag of those chips in a long time and didn't have a egg last time I did. I'm picking up a bag next time I see them..

    I love that Gazebo! I would get one myself, but I read it is 8' wide, which is a bit too wide for the location on my deck.

    BBQ vacation I like it! 

    Its funny how many people watch those shows but don't cook, I get quite a bit of inspiration from watching all of the cooking shows and after they are over I want to get to cooking to try out new things. 

    When I used to travel for work (300+ days a year for the FAA) I went to 51 Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives spots in a little over a year and never had one bad experience. Some people like watching those shows I like living those shows..

    @Solson005, I try and hit up the local food joints when I'm out of town for work too. :)
    Just checked on the BGE. It dropped down to around 215... Opened the daisy wheel a coupla centimeters. Gonna get some more sleep and then set the Maverick in place in a little bit. :)

    Thought I would check the temp of the flat.... It's reading 187 deg f internal. It cooked a lot faster than I expected. Gonna bring it to around 200, separate it from the point, then FTC. Surprising since its only been on there for 8 hours. Bark looks great. All we are eating tonight are burnt ends anyways, so I don't mind the flat getting done so soon. Looks like I might get to have a sliced brisket sandwich for lunch too... It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. ;)

    Looking good Dyal. Wish I had today off. Brisket is so finicky. My last two were 8 lbs. one took 10 hours and one took 14. I have only done burnt ends once. So good though. Where did you find the packer? I usually only find flats in Columbia.

    They always have whole packers at Wally World. May not be the bestest ever grade, but the last one I made was from Walmart and it was awesome. :)

    Looks good .  Monitoring the outcome.  Thanks for the pics.  Need to do some more research before tackling a brisket.  Looking around the stores; I can't find a packer.
    I like my butt rubbed and my pork pulled.

    Well, the whole dang thing is done. Internal temp of 207. I didn't even foil. The dome temp stayed between 215 and 250 the entire time. Hopefully it isn't dried out. I just placed it on a cookie sheet, foiled it up and FTC. I'll take it out in a few hours and eat a sandwich for lunch. I'll keep the egg going and make the burnt ends later for dinner.

    Great looking shrine for the Egg. Sweet looking brisket. What rub did you use?

    Mmm...great idea on the biscuit, brisket and eggs! I think I'll be good and let it rest though. :)@GQuiz, its the BGE Cosmic Cow Seasoning. I got a couple of their rubs for free at the Eggtoberfest.

    Just separated the point from the flat. Had me a light lunch from a slice of the flat. ;) Brisket sammich with horseradish on a potato roll. Foiled the point back up to do burnt ends with for dinner. Turned out very moist and deeelicious! :)

    Bark, Smoke Ring, and moist! I was looking forward to my smoked turkey sandwich, but now I think I have brisket envy! Looks awesome!  ^:)^
