brisket success

I've been steadily improving on my brisket but I really nailed it on this one. 9 lb prime packer from Costco. Went on at 235 grill temp at 9 last night and pulled at 3pm today. Finished up at 198 IT. FTC until about 6:30.
Great flat and point. Great bark and smoke ring. Rubbed with S&P, garlic powder, onion powder and a bit of cayenne.
Patience paid off here because it became way more tender letting it ride for another hour after I thought about pulling it.

    Have you priced brisket of late? Besides with you, Travis, and Centx so close what's the point? No really, what's a point

    "Have you priced brisket of late?"

    Yeah, the 10 pound packer I cooked Friday night and posted on another thread cost me $25.50.... so that's uh, er, 3.6 PBRs per pound (for @henapple)

    Brisket must be high margin for the big box chains-here the the land of KY Jelly (a whole 'nother eggsperience) flats (about all you can find) have been running around $6/# since August.  Since I have to get the fix at least monthly I am resigned to the $$.  And it really sucks when you turn out a single or less-but sometimes you do get the triple or home-run then it's waaaay worth it.  :)

    Best part was when I checked it a half hour or so before I pulled it, there were little pools of rendered fat floating on the top. I knew it was going to be good.
