    Temp is up to 170 roughly... Debating on if and when I want to wrap this bad boy.... Still looking for a little more bark to develop.. Going to give it more time while I decide between foil, butcher paper, or no wrap at all...

    pics coming soon

    With the hot beef injection I don't think you will need to wrap it.

    Decided to wrap it at 175... Wrapped for a few hours until 190-195... Now finishing unwrapped to reestablish the bark... Cooked way faster than I anticipated.. Going in the RTIC for 3-4 hours once it probes like butta

    Do you find the aromatics on the fire help the flavor?

    Haven't tasted them yet... Had a little bit of the pork butt that was left on the grate when I took it off... And it was phenomenal... I'll let you know once we cut into them and start eating

    By far the best tasting brisket I've ever made! Really pleased with it... Pics coming soon...

    not it sure if the aromatics from the onion and garlic helped or not.. But the final product is good enough for me to add it to my cooks from now on
