First time trying my hand at a Brisket
So tomorrow I am going to cook this bad boy I preseason with PBC beef & game seasoning because I have it and want to use it so I can start buying some real rubs, using a small amount of lemon juice as a binder, I am following Kent Rolling video. Question is there something else I should know? I see the Brisket as the holy grail and I don't want to mess it up.Tags: None

Texas style rub is just Coshire course salt and course black pepper equal parts. Quit a bit. It is still amazing taste without all the other rubs. Watch out for sugar and salt added to the seasoning you choose.
also depending on what type bark you want, foil or paper for the wrap. I like butcher paper unwaxed.Last edited by Joetee; August 8, 2020, 10:32 AM.

3 Weber Performers
2classic kettles
1 26" kettle
1 Smoky Joe
PBC
Thermoworks POPs
Dot and Chef Alarm
4 Slo n Sears
1 Smokenator
2 Vortex
Cold beer
Assume you will hang in the PBC? How heavy a hunk? Let it go through the stall. If you like the color wrap or put in covered foil pan with a little beef broth. By this time the coals are about done so I'll put it in the oven to finish.
Good luck!

So after 7 hrs is done, looks better beforwrappingng I am thinking too much moisture ruin the color of the bark. I want to get a dark bark so I need to work on this I had it on the no-fat side for 2 hrs around 240ish and 255ish. Flip it then another 2hrs, before wrapping and spraying some apple juice and cooking it for another 3 hrs. Also is not the meat tenderness I had but is good overall. I have to work on brisket that's for sure

Ok now. Briskets usually take a lot longer than that. Usually need to be started around 3am on the grill. Probably around 170° when you wrap it. 203° when you remove it too rest.
The meat is done at 160°. But if you want if tender, you need to wait until it's IT is about 195 to 203°.

I smoke mine at around 225-235° grill temp. I tried one at 275° and though the meat inside was great, the edges and some of the flat was a little dry. Maybe because I didn't sprits it at all. I have a hard time baby setting it so the 225 works as little better for my style of grilling.
I beginning to think it all depends on your smoker type.
Also I smoke mine fat side up.
But at 225 it takes as lot longer. I done a 22 pounder that took about 16 hours. I had to start that one at 10pm.

You asked about cooking temps. 225F is the temp many people swear by but it is not the only one to give good results. I cook at around 275F but there are many who swear that even hotter, say in the 300-350F range does just as well. I split the difference at 275 and It works great for me. As others have said, wait for a higher temp in the meat before wrapping. You will happier with the outside bark that way.
