When I last best-friended a brisket, I was accused of all kinds of cross-species weirdness. But they just don't understand besties - right?!
Looks good mon!

Anyway, that is a ton of mesquite for a bge. if you find that bark is getting dark after it sets up nicely, i would wrap it up so it does not get too much smoke. if you get back in there for any reason I might fish a few of those chunks out. 2-3 go a very long way with mesquite in a bgeKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

With cap down the point is riding on the flat so "under the point" hits the target. Regarding the grate, it looks like one from the 'ol Ceramic Grill Works store but just a guess.

I detect some fuzziness in the pics... the whiskey must be kicking in
I'm jealous. Brisky on the egg... good company... good booze. That fits my definition of a good time.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
Final product. Really good. Brussels and home fries on the blackstone. Brisket lean and juicy. Sandwiches were amazing. I took pics as I could remember to pick the camera up.
Thanks - everyone - in this forum, for bringing me along so we could nail this cook today. Really special people here. I genuinely invite anyone who can, please, come by our house for a beer if you can.
Pics next. Then on to the house aged whiskey. Might send one more pic of that later tonight.
cheers!

Lesse if I can get this video to play here — I recorded the juices running. This brisket REALLY was special. Costco prime FTW.
