First brisket ever

fiercetimbo17

this was my first brisket Ive ever cooked, not on the egg just period. I had some issues early on this morning with it being hotter than I wanted. Ended up cooking about 12 hours untill it was what I felt like was tender.
Then wrapped in foil and put in cooler for 4 hours until the gf got off work.
Here is it injected and slathered with mustard and dizzy rub

Here it after 12 hours before I foiled

And some of the left overs

I do need to work on my carving skills, I dont really know what I was doing just kinda went at it across the grain. The GF thought it was really good but I thought it was a little tough. Overall it was good however.

Gotta love the smoke ring

fiercetimboo17, that's a nice looking first brisket. I'm still learning to make a consistently moist brisket. I agree, that is a nice smoke ring!

Looks good to me I am still attempting to master brisket - they say practice makes perfect! Goodness knows I'm trying...

That's a nice looking brisket for your first one. Everytime you cook a brisket, you'll learn something new that will help you to alter your technique. Looks like your really close.

Very nice smoke ring. Some people claim they can't get a good smoke ring on the egg, but every brisket I've done, looks like yours. Brisket looks fantastic, but as previously mentioned, it is a more difficult cook. Keep practicing!
