Brisket on XL

I did my first brisket this morning and lower my 19 inch pizza stone lower with a hanger from egg accessories and put a drip pan on it. And raised the grate about two inches above the felt line using the flip ring for the XL.
I cooked it at 240 at the dome using BBQ Guru controls and it worked great. It did drop a little bit in the sixth hour down to 222 and I stirred the charocal towards the center and it went back up. Their was a lot of charcoal left in the end. It reached 195 in eleven hours and turned out really good. It was not very black only a very thin crust. I think on the XL you have to move your deflector lower than the place setter goes so as not to char the bottom of the brisket to much.
I used a rub of salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder letting it set overnight.
I put the remote for the BBQ Guru in the kitchen and went fishing and called my wife every couple of hours on what the P temperture was. It worked great now all I need is a dial up from my cell phone to check on the brisket. LOL
I did not get a chance to wrap it in foil because we ate right away.
I was fantastic.

Glad it came out good. Don't know if you can get it but John Henry makes an awesome "Texas Brisket Rub".

Briskets are like Boston Butts or shoulders, the rubs and mops matter but the cooking process is what makes it.
Thank god we have Eggs to cook on. -
Cool beans, sounds like you got the hang of it. The rest in the cooler will make it better too.
I have a 15# packer in the fridge for tonight. It will be a game time decision on the hanger/flip ring set-up....Twww.ceramicgrillstore.com ACGP, Inc. -
Nice. I like the part about going fishing.
But did you catch any? :huh:
