Thanks for the kind comments folks. I always chart my cooks, so I got some GREAT data on this cook and it certainly won't be the last time I do brisket! It's just going to be a party dish because my wife and I simply can't eat that volume of meat by ourselves. I'm over my irrational "brisket fear" now. lol It's most certainly worth the effort!!

Nice job!

It's in the tested recipe section aka Texas Mop Sauce. I think it's referred by Texas Tea in the recipe..

Yummy stuff. Might even be good on chuckies!

First, wow, whata brisket!!!!! I second your use of Texas Tea aka Texas Mop Sauce. Made a brisket for Thanksgiving, soaked in the sauces - people preferred it over the turkey, especially the point chunks. Just sayin.

What a beauty of a brisket cook, PappyBBQ ! Thank you for the wonderful writeup and the mouthwatering photos. They could be centerfolds for a BBQ magazine. Good to know too that the OCD coal alignment method worked well.

Great lookin cook. Loved your write up, pics etc. I started to stack the Spinaker OCD basket one time and I wasn't OCD enough to finish it out, but I now know on my next brisket I'm going to take a Zanex and see if I can take it to the finish line. Thanks again for your post.

It IS a bit frustrating doing the OCD stack. Adding a favorite beverage to the mix certainly didn't help matters! Need plenty of patience and all of your fine motor skills!

Wow, what a great cook. That looks amazing. Gonna have to try my own Costco next time, that was a good looking packer.

I'm going to have to try the OCD method next time. My coals ran out after about 7 hours during my Super Bowl brisket cook.
