help with first big brisket cook

[klflowers]

Yep, at the end for me. Some of the recipes tell you to mop or spritz with juice but i don't mess with it once it is on the pit.

I have cooked over 100 brisket and I agree....275. Don't matter how big. 275 all the way. from start to finish, 9 hours and that is with a 1 1/2 hour rest. Good luck!!!

So what meats WOULD you cook at 225? Pork butt? Ribs? What meats do you think benefit from really low and slow?

[kbremer]

Really.....nothing. I cook everything that way. Also keep in mind, once you wrap, it do not matter what temp you go. I belong to a BBQ comp league plus the catering, and no one complains about the taste. It is all in the prep, rub, and internal temp for the best BBQ I can do. I would be happy to share any and all my secrets if you like. Merry Christmas!!!
