Such a long way to go, but I really feel like I’m starting to figure somethings out.  This was only my second smoke on the new offset, and so far, this has been the best flat (w/ a sliver of point a top for you technical trolls) I’ve ever turned out.

For this smoke, I did it all by feel.  No probes or temp checks at any point in the cook.  Done in 12.5 hours.

    I'd miss the point, but damn that looks good.

    There was point and it was really good.  Anyone can nail point.  I judge all my briskets on how well my flat is.  This flat was better than a lot of point I’ve had.  The combined bite of flat w/ the sliver of point and fat was insane.

    I unwrapped this at my buddies barbecue shop.  He took this **** pic...I wish he would have had me tilt the brisket to show the bark.

    To be clear, I wasn't criticizing.  That little sheen from the fat layer looks magnificent.

    Thanks!  Next time, I’m going to give him my iPhone to snap the pic.  His cam was no bueno.  I took the flat pic with my phone.  Night and day different lol

    What offset did you get?  I haven't been on regularly for about the last month, so I'm sorry if I missed an earlier discussion.
