    Looks great! have you read any into Aaron Franklin's method? I've been having success using it but I might try waiting till probe tender no matter the temp as he recommends pulling at 203 degrees to let rest

That is why off set smokers, that solely use wood, have better smoke rings.

        Learned this exact thing on my last brisket with my Smoky Mountain. I used mainly charcoal with wood mixed in. Didn't get a good smoke ring or very good (IMO) smoke flavor even though the meat cooked perfectly. Doing another brisket this weekend and will make the adjustment back to using charcoal as a slow burning heat stabilizer with wood as the primary fuel.

          Bought a Offset smoker couple months ago and got my moneys worth of pork through it. Guess its about time to make a brisket

When I say pull it when it "probes like butter" I mean there should be ZERO resistance. Since I did this write up, I have now moved to hot and fast style cooking for brisket. I cook at about 300 degrees and my briskets normally probe tender around 210 degrees IT. Also, next time just put that sucker on the pit and leave it alone. There is no need to keep moving it around, especially when you're cooking at low temperatures. Hope this helps!

            About how long per pound is it taking cooking at 300? I have a brisket in the fridge I need to cook. Do you still put it in a foil pan?

              12-13lbs brisket trimmed down to about 11lbs - ish takes about 6-7 hours from start to finish.

                It cooked a lot quicker than I expected. Put in foil pan at 180°, but it made it to 210° before I pulled it. Some if it was ok, some overcooked. It was only 11 1/2lb pre trim to begin with. Kept temps at 300 or a little below the whole time.

                        Nice marbling but look at the cost!

                        Lol, American Kobe Beef. That's literally impossible. That would be like "American Made Scotch." Shame on HEB lol.
