Have friends coming over tomorrow so decided to try my first brisket. Reading up here for tips and tricks. Any suggestions welcome. It is a 6# Choice. So thinking around 8 hours at 225-250. Don't have wood chunks for smoking but do have chips so will put some of that in in the beginning. Will post pics.

    If you are reading here and still have questions then you need to work on your search filters.  BTW- give the forum search a go and if that doesn't overwhelm you with info that go to google and add egghead forum to your query and you will be inundated with more than you can get thru by the time the cook is finished.

    Don't just drop the chips on top, knock em around with your ashtool till they get mixed into the lump below the surface, repeat 1-2 more times. Don't soak them.

    In his defense - being a new egger myself - the info can be overwhelming and, sometimes, a pointed conversation can clear the clutter and provide some direction.
