    After seeing that I'm having second thoughts about posting my brisket and clod. That's a tough act to follow right there. Excellent job brother. Excellent. =D>

    @DMW WOW, I wish I could make a brisket just half as good as that looks.

    Also, that is a whole load of sweet corn!..

    Thanks everyone. All have left and the fam is in bed. Most of the cleanup is done. Saw T-Storms will be rolling in overnight so got the EZ-Up down and tables brought inside.

    Now I'm enjoying solitude and an LBC Hop Hog by the fire.

    @tulocay

    Rub was just 50/50 Salt Pepper

    Here's the method I followed, not sure I would repeat exactly...

    Put it on way too early the night before (around 9:45). Realize (with some sage advice) that it's on way earlier than it should be. Freak out, drop the grid temp to 225* from 250* to extend the cook. I was using a controller.

    Awake next morning, note that according to the Maverick, IT temp is climbing fairly quickly...
    Around 11 start freaking out because it will be finished way early. Start prep of long holding gear. Fill cooler with hot water, towels in dryer, etc.
    Around 12 proceed with first tenderness check. Hmm...that doesn't seem right, Thermapen is showing 160*-ish... Mav showed 198*... 
    Kick yourself for being stupid in placing the Mav probe in a fat pocket. Re-position Mav probe and go back to other prep work. Mav is showing 153* now.
    Now freak out because you realize it's not going to finish in time. Bump temp to 275*.
    Over the next few hours, calm down because the temp is climbing nicely.
    Check for tenderness around 198* (I usually start checking around 195*)
    If it probes tender in all of the flat, you're good. 

    Also, if you give it a shake, it should jiggle (especially the point) like Santa's belly. This is the first one I've had do that. I got kind of tingly inside...

    This was my best brisket so far, though there were still sections of the flat that were a bit dry. This was a Choice brisket. I think I'm going to order a Creekstone Farms Prime next time.

    Nice brisket and next time I do one I am using two probes. One in the point and one in the flat to keep an eye on both. Looks like everything came out great for you.

    So, straight through without foiling? Also, what smoke wood did you use?

    Correct, no foil. I used Oak chunks.

    If I can figure out the youtube embed, here's the jiggle that made me tingle.

    Looks like it worked, change to higher quality playback.
