Cooked around 70 pounds of brisket for family and friends. I feel like I’ve honed in on my technique after years and years. You just can’t  buy brisket this good.

Always go with post oak and pecan splits as my wood. Shoot for 250 smoking temp. Minimal trim, just removing any large patches of fat or silver skin on top. Course salt and 16 mesh pepper for the rub, that’s it. I typically shoot for around a 205 internal but I do start probing them around 195.

Mind writting up a step by step?  I tried my first brisket thursday, and was not impressed.  Meat was smokey but did not have a nice amoke ring.  Just how much amoking wood do you use?  I tried keeping my temp at 225, pulled it off at 200, reated for a few hours.

4.5 lbs, pulled at 195 degrees for the rest, wrapped at about 145 after 90 minuts stall with foil.  5 hours and 35 min total time in the egg.

They go in the pans when they hit around 170 internal.

I use a gravity fed charcoal cooker. Stumps is the brand name. Mine is the classic.

Too be honest a "smoke ring" can be made with certain rub's and does not indicate anything special, just a sight for the eyes. but you may have wrapped too early. 165-170 is my target temp for wrapping.

you should have thin blue smoke coming out the stack. don't worry about low and slow at 225, you can get same result's at 250 275 hell I cook brisket at 300.

195 internal temp is too low, IMO, you prolly need 200. simple way to know if it's done poke it with a instant read therm, if it feels like butter it's ready to pull

These were all sold. I have an order right now for 11 more. Just have to catch them on sale and set a weekend aside to knock them out.
