Nothing to do this weekend so decided to do a practice brisket. 9.5 pounds after being trimmed. The plan was to take it slow at 240 overnight with digi q but I didn't shut the fan vent on digi q enough and found temp to be 290 when I woke up. Don't know how long it was at 290 but it sped up the cook quite a bit.

Cook from 11 pm til 830 am. Pulled when temp probe slid in and out like butter, around 202 degrees.

Ftc'd til lunch and it was great. Just did s&p rub, with water pan.

    At least you caught it before it got overdone. Looks like a real good practice run from here.

    Nice smoke ring. I'm doing my first on the egg next weekend, but didn't think of doing a practice one. I am planning to put on at midnight on Friday for a carryover to Saturday at a dome temp of 225 to 250. I have dual probe thermometer and will set temps and if it goes to high or low it will alarm me. I have had no problems keeping it locked on temp so far.
