I believe that hanging meat puts it in the "magic convection zone". Also some things, like chuckies, will tend to sag during the cook which allows for more surface area to collect smoke.

Welcome to the PBC world! You have a lot of great cooks in your future.

Outstanding! When I pulled up this post it came up first with the view of the birds. It was a stunning entrance.
Personally, I’d hang the brisket. Welcome, eat good & have fun!

Welcome to the Pit and the PBC club! That barrel is one chicken cookin machine! Be sure to check out this area of the channels section for all things PBC. https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...-barrel-cooker

I agree that hanging is the way with a 14LB brisket. Please double hook and measure the length of your hunk of meat to compare to the distance from rebar to charcoal basket. I've had to use a third hook to keep the end out of the coals.

Welcome to The Pit. Great lookin' birds!

Awesome. Congrats on a great cook. Personally I hang everything if possible, so I’d hang the brisket and daisy chain it and might even pull and put on the grate after the stall even if you don’t wrap

Welcome to the Pit from Farmville, Va...

I love my PBC. I failed at chicken until I got mine. It is my go to for ribs and chicken and one or two butts...

I hang briskets flat-down until I wrap, then on the grate until it's done. Haven't lost one yet!

Good looking birds!

Personally, I'd hang the brisket. But I'm sure it will. Come out great either way.
