My First Brisket Ever

[lelex]

Hello, yesterday I cooked my first Brisket ever. At 154' degrees I got the stall which lasted for about 4 hours.
Here are the pics.

Looks like you've set the bar pretty high! Beautiful smoke ring! How was it?

It looks delicious. What did you cook it on? I'm assuming it the COS you have mentioned before. Not such a bad rig, huh? Judging from the photos, it looks like it did a fantastic job. What rub did you apply? Did you inject?

Fantastic Looking Brisket!!!

I would also be interested in knowing what COS, and how you cooked these...

A COS is the very newest/best I have ;-)

We'll get by, jus' fine... ;-)

That's gorgeous! I would be awfully proud if my first looked like that.

Damn, my dogs wouldn't eat the first brisket I made! This looks incredible. That smoke ring is almost electric. Great job. I'd say this was a legitimate attempt.

Fine looking piece of beef

Hello guys, thank you for the positive comments you all made. To be honest I was the first one who was surprised by the result. I invited my parents for dinner but I warned them, if it didn't turn right, we had to order some pizza
So, I try to answer all the questions and curiosity. I smoked it with my COS bought on Amazon with Oak wood and Olive wood. I sprinkled the Maldon Salt the night before. Half an hour before putting it in the smoker I rubbed it with a mixture of garlic powder, dry onion, fresh pepper, dry mustard. I didn't inject it. It was extremely tender but a bit dry, maybe because it was the flat and not the point?

Yep! I've done Wagyu, Prime and Choice, and the flat always seems drier than I hope and far as my recollection goes they all seemed about the same in the flat. Not so dry that it's inedible of course, just less succulent. Just the nature of the flat. I haven't injected a brisket yet either.

Hi Huskee, thank you for your answer. It was a bit dry but edible indeed . Next time I want to try the point
