Brisket Smoked the Lousubcap Way!
Well, I decided it was time to get back on the horse and try to smoke a brisket at least one more time. Inspired by @Zamfir s effort, and by following @lousubcap 's instructions to the letter, the brisket turned out pretty darn good.
Started with a 14 1/2 pound prime packer from Costco.


Trimmed, salt & pepper, tightly wrapped in the refrigerator overnight.

Indirect, drip pan with no liquid and grate temperature @ 250 degrees.
Here we go!

Wrapped in foil after about 7 hours. 6 hours later it hit 200 degrees and probed like buttah. FTC for 3 1/2 more hours.
As you can see, some of the slices broke so it may have been a bit over-done but it was fantastic. Moist, juicy, delicious.
Thank-you @lousubcap . Thank-you @Zamfir

It is impossible to not have success, if you do what @lousubcap has provided to us in his teachings.
Following his guidance I have never had a bad result. The only ones that went straight to chili are the ones I have done trying something different.
Beautiful cook and some great meals await. Congrats!"Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

You did all the work. My guide is just that as the cow will throw audibles every cook. Great outcome right there. I would take that every time. Nice ring as well. Congrats.For the record, I will gladly pass along notes I have put together over years of cooks. I borrowed a lot from Aaron Franklin and @The Cen-Tex Smoker along with random pearls of insight from others who have shared their cooks here. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint.

Yes. (Not counting the time to get the Egg stabilized @ 250 degrees grate temperature and for the smoke to go clear. That was about 45 minutes extra.)TN_Egger said:16.5 hours start to finish?Large Egg, PGS A40 gasser. -

Since it is Friday night and LEO is in play:I have had the distinct pleasure of meeting and talking brisket trash with @The Cen-Tex Smoker in a great watering hole in Austin. He teaches classes on how to wrestle brisket to great success. Heed his words well.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer!

Nice smoke ring.
