Great looking first brisket.

[DogFaced PonySoldier]

Looks awesome! Good job!

I did the plastic like Kosmo did on his videos - turned my bark into goo. Like sticky black goo, tarry, almost. I won't do that again.

Turned out great. 10hrs ish and Sat for like 8hrs lol, it got done way early lol. It was great first try.

No plastic, please!

+1 prime usually has a shorter time to finish for me as well.

If you have a separate leave in food temp probe with plans for an overnight cook, I would use it with an alarm. I have found that Prime tends to cook to temp "faster" than Choice/Select cuts of meat. The last full packer prime that I cooked from Costco was a 16lb that we cooked @225 on a pellet cooker that was temp, probe, and slice tender at 10hrs, which allowed us to let it rest for an extra couple of hours. As always, your mileage may vary....

I was going to make the same comment but apparently he's used plastic wrap with success before.

I don't know about plastic wrap. It would be like wrapping in foil and steaming your bark.

[Richard Chrz]

How exciting! Can’t wait to see it. Can’t cook a second one until you cook the first one! Enjoy the process!

[Donw]

You got this!

[jharner]

Good luck on your cook. Please remember temp and time do not dictate when your brisket will be done. Probe tender baby Probe tender!!

[jharner]

I have no problem with wrapping in foil, but do not wrap until temp at least 180. Bark stays good and renders nice juices to pour back over sliced brisket.

Brisket is really simple to smoke. But it is easier said than done. I like to review youtube streamers.
