I don’t over trim the fat…I smoke it fat side up. Rub with Kosher salt and course ground black pepper. Smoke until 195. Pull it wrap it and put in an ice Chest for 3 hours minimum. Mine always turn out great. Everyone has their own way. I can tell when I stick the meat thermometer in it. If it’s done.

One thing that I do that a lot will not agree with is mop on Italian Salad dressing at the wrap. It softens the bark a little but not so much that it comes off during the slicing process.

That' a beautiful piece of meat Terry!!
I'm sad to report that I totally destroyed a beautiful 11 Pounder this weekend... Put it on Friday night at 9:30 PM... Had the stick burner doing its thing perfectly at right on 250 until midnight... put wood on the fire, went to bed... Woke up to hard rain/lightening/thunder at about 3:30 AM... Went out and brought the brisket in and put it in the oven at 250 until about 8:00 AM... Put it back out in a foil pan covered and continued to let the temp come up to 165 (probes in the point and flat)... Trouble is it stalled and I didn't snap to it... was distracted by getting ribs going, making some fantastic Quail-Jalepeno poppers out of my home grown Colossas peppers... By the time temp got to 194 and I realized what I'd done, all I could do is chop it... It was tasty and family enjoyed it, but made me sick thinkin' what I did to a beautiful piece of meat!! The ribs, and poppers... were a great hit too... Havin' some of each warmed over today for lunch at the office...
Can't believe I made such a rookie mistake!!

So ive cooked a few briskets so far. I never seem to get to "probe tender" Brought them up to around 205. What am i missing?
Cooked some big beef ribs this weekend. Walked out there and checked them and they where like butter.
Maybe im not getting up to temp throughout the brisket? I plant to really check with thermo pen next time and if not there keep going?
