Another Brisket cook!

Hey everyone! I did another brisket cook. It was a 6lb flat. I didn't trim anything at all. It was smoked at between 225-245 over lump and hickory chunks (BTW that was the temperature at the grate, not on the dome). I only wrapped it for about an hour and ONLY because I wanted it to get done (it was starting to get close to supper and would not have gotten done in time had I not).  It was smoked fat cap up for the duration. Included are some pictures and a link to the YouTube video at the end.  If you have any questions or tips please let me know.  Have a great day everyone!

    I've never cooked a flat, but want to. I have to wait for special occasions i.e. many guests to cook a packer because of the quantity of meat. Thanks for posting.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Great looking flat! I like the pretzel bun too.

    Thanks for the comments, it was pretty good on the pretzel bun!  I am still trying to decide what I am going to cook for the 4th of July.

    I also like Blues Hog barbecue sauce. I mix it with a bit of their Tennessee Red... Great flat..

    Most eggcellent-flats are a challenge so you should appreciate even more a great result.

    Looks great! How long did it take? I have only cooked packers twice and I also need a party for all of the meat. I would like to give it a try

    DIAD, it took about 10 hours to cook and rested for an hour.
