            Yep... The mesquite is hanging like a low level fog in the neighborhood... I have caught several of my neighbors peeking over the fence like hungry hobos....

            Hatin on mesquite is like adding sugar to coffee in my humble opinion... there are just some things in life meant to be strong, bold, and unwavering....

          12 hours in... 151* internals... Time to wrap.

            Looks great ! What was the original weight and how long did it take to finish ? I'm going to do a prime brisket for the 4th, but I think I'll use hickory, not sure if the mesquite would be too much and I don't want to try it for the first time since we'll have guests. What was your opinion of the flavor from the mesquite vs. other pellets you've used for brisket?

              Might try a test cook, with 'bout 75% hickory, 25% mesquite.
              I often use this 'mix of sticks'....shouldn't be no different with a pellet pooper.
              Ya' can taste th' difference, go from there...
              Me? I thinks ya'll likeys it.

              Bones is correct... To me, mesquite is the Bourbon of the smoking world... it is an acquired taste. Served right, and there is no better flavor. Carry on

            And now we wait.... The packer just went into stall because I noted the chamber temps started to spike which tells me the meat has decided it is time to start working its magic.... 169* internals... no hurry on this end.. we eat when it is ready to tell its story. Carry on

                16 hours in and it looks like it is starting to come out of stall.... 175* and rising.... I will wait till it gets to around 185* and then unwrap him so I can start building bark.... Stand by...

                    I think the one thing you messed up on is unwrapping next to the neighbor's fence. If I were on the other side I would knock the fence over to get a bite. Please have respect for fences. They have feelings, too.

                    No problems there. They know I am a Marine combat veteran... sometimes they find me me laying under the pellet eater in my ghille or some mornings they come over for coffee to see me sitting in the chair next to the smoker wearing full battle rattle and lovingly caressing my Remmy R12.... Carry on.

                    Ain't had to don my Ghillie Suit for many a year...
                    BUT, it's located in a footlocker at th' foot of my rack, along with my piss pot, an' 'deuce gear'

                  Mr. Bones I may try that 75/25 combination, thanks. The other thing I'm still kicking around is to put hickory in the hopper and maybe mesquite or cherry in the Blaz'n Smoker Pro and let it go for 2 hours or until burns itself out.
                  FlaBouy That looks great enjoy your dinner. I used to work for the VA, so I have always had the greatest respect for our veterans, let me just say thank you for your service to our country and keep those fires burning.

                    Cool Beans; it's a great way to introduce mesquite into yer reportoire, an' learn to gauge how much is enough.
                    That, of course, varies, largely dependent on what ya' got cookin', an desired flavour profile...
                    Some proteins suck up way more smoke than others.

                  Dammit.... it head faked me.... I unwrapped it and got ready to rebuild the bark and the internals dropped back down to 170. Looks like I have a live one on my hands....

                    This part of it is worse than having kids.... Its been 20 straight hours in labor and I am just ready for it to be over so I can get some sleep while it rests....
