I'm rescheduling my Brisket cook to tonight so my son can eat with us before he goes to work tomorrow. Hoping to have it for late lunch. I started dry brining it around 6 hours ago. It's almost 9, so I'm thinking of getting it going at midnight and getting up at 6 to see it through. My question is about how you guys refuel the SNS after the original load has burned out. Do you throw another 12 lit coals on, pile on more unlit, or some other 3rd thing? Also, this brisket is 12lb after the trimming. Anyone care to give me a ball park of how long I should expect it to cook? Am I nuts to start the cook with only 9 hours of dry brining? Anything else???

Nothing wrong with a 9 hour dry brine. 24 hours is awesome, but anything over an hour is gonna make a good difference. That’s a pretty good brisket. If you are running the Weber around 250, I’m gonna say you will be in the 13-14 hour range on the cook. I personally like cooking my brisket around 250 instead of 225. Less stall, a little faster cook, brisket comes out awesome.
I’m not a WEber/SnS guy, so I can’t help with the reload technique :-(

If you get that brisket on at 11 PM (instead of midnight) that is gonna give you an extra 1-2 hours to hold the brisket in a cambro. If it gets done sooner, then you get a longer hold. Which is good. That hold is really important, in my opinion, to a great brisket outcome.Last edited by ecowper; September 23, 2017, 06:59 PM.

hoovarmin I end up at 4 in the morning sitting there with the smoker running, smell of the brisket or pork butt cooking, me with a cup of hot coffee spiked with a little "something" and a cigar ..... tending my fire and watching the stars ......

ecowper, that's what I'm talkin bout! In the Pacific Northwest, as well. I can only imagine that's about as good as it gets. My little guy, Jaco (almost 2) knows something's going on and wants to be right in the middle of it. We're listening to music, and can hear waves crashing on the beach. Gonna make this a night to remember. Just wishin we had some of you guys's Dungeness Crab.

Mr. Bones, if Jaco can't break it, then it's indestructible and should receive it's own category in Max's reviews. About 8hrs into the cook and at the stall. Internal temp 165. Kettle temp 234. I injected the brisket, and right now all that liquid has come up to the surface of the meat. Would you guys soak it up with a paper towel to help bust through the stall?

hoovarmin You're doing great from the looks of things. It's as simple as people say it is. If your probe easily slides into the brisket without resistance you've nailed it. Literally feels like sliding it into a stick of soft butter. Sounds crazy but you'll know when it happens. If it takes some pressure to push it into the middle in the 190s, let it go a little longer. If you are unsure at lower temps let it roll to 203 and you'll be fine.

ecowper, been waiting to make these beans since you posted them in the last Volume of Show us What you are Cooking. Even substituted a Shiner Bock for one of the cans of chicken stock. The beans were amazing. The Brisket was gobbled up by my squad - I have 7 kids and 6 of them were there, plus my granddaughter. Also pictured are some spicy pickles from an old Bobby Flay cookbook and corn bread per Sean Brock - which was an epic fail but a great learning experience.

HorseDoctor, the recipe called for coarse cornmeal, and it never quite absorbed enough liquid. it was a bit al dente.

Wow! Everything looks delicious and congrats on the brisket.
