First packer brisket

by my logic, I thought I should practice on some cheaper flats. After reading this forum, I found that flats were a pain in the ass to get right, hence my 3 separate cooks that just came out ok. Decided to just bite the bullet and pick up a 13 lb packer. Went on at 225 for around 15 hours with a mix of hickory and pecan wood. Turned out great. Many thanks to the forum for providing such great insight and info

Very nice! Yes, packers require less attention only if you don't over trim them.

Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.
