    175. :|

    I guess this is as dark as it wants to get. Time to foil wrap and teach this cow a lesson.

    Freshly opened foil, waiting for the oxygen to darken it up.

    I’ll never do trimmed flats again, only packers...

    They were good but not the best I have ever done. The fat is what keeps it moist, I don’t understand why you would want them trimmed...

    Well any ways the burgers are on in the rain per my grandson’s request

    I'm getting this down to a science now.  It makes a big difference if you'll just let your brisket rest for 4 hours after you smoke it.  This is just as important as the time spent making it on the egg.

    Right before wrapping in BP.



    Got cocky and tested doneness with a bamboo skewer instead of my Thermapen and overcooked the flat.  It was falling apart so I only have a picture of the point which was delicious as usual.

    It was an 11 lb brisket.  It took 11 hours at 245 to get to an internal temp of 201.  After that, a 4 hour FTC rest.  Total was 15 hours start to finish.
