I mixed 1/2 cup each of orange juice, ketchup, brown sugar. Added a TBL of Worcestershire and a TBL of rub. Heated on the stove and spooned on top. I let it caramelize for a bit then FTC. It's a simple mopping sauce I've used the last few briskets and it's turned out good.

@TxBeekeeper‌...To each their own. But, isn't that softening the beautiful bark we all strive so hard for? Just my 2¢.

Try skipping the sauce next time. On a nice brisket, no need for it. Save that for meatloaf IMHO.

How much did it weigh when you bought it?  

TxBeekeeper

8.5lbs

The sauce does look thicker in the pic then what it is. It's a very light coating. But I will try my next one no sauce. I went with what I've done in the past to try out for my first egg brisket. Thanks for the input.

Wow, I would have guessed much bigger.  

TxBeekeeper

Turned out really good and tender. Was hoping for a better smoke ring but I'll work in that.

I would've put it at 12#+ Looked like it pretty well filled the egg when you first put it on. Is this on a LBGE?

Looks awesome. Great first effort.

Good first brisket on the egg!!! Making brisket on an egg is truly different than a Weber, gasser or stick burner etc. Each one ya do should progressively get better also. How did it taste?

Dob't get axle-wrapped around the smoke ring-great looking cook.  Great eats I'm sure!

I do have a Large. This was a prime Brisket. There really wasn't a whole lot of fat to trim off right out of the package. It's does look big on the pic, but it didn't have much weight to it.

TxBeekeeper

The taste was great. Had a much better smoke flavor than I used to get from my UDS cooks. Sliced great and was fork tender. I'm very pleased with the Egg results.

Looks really good, smoke ring looks fine I wouldn't worry much about it either as long as it tastes good!

Hotch

Looks great. Just courious, did you have any spacers under your drip pan or was it flat on the plate setter?

That is ALL the matters.
