Smoked Brisket on a 22" Weber Grill

I haven't tried this, although I will... soon. It may be behind a pay wall. Let me know and I'll try to summarize it.

It does sound like they did their homework, I might give it a try. Thanks for the share.

Sounds good and easy. I thind Dave should send them an SnS though.

Good article. I have been doing briskets on my Weber 22 for years. I use a Smokenator and for a 14lb one it takes 12 hours at 260-275. I never wrap as at 175 it just chugs write through the stall. I always use oak for my wood like a lot of Texas does, may throw in some hickory for a little stronger smoke.

I’m assuming you mean 275?

[mountainsmoker]

Thanks Red Man corrected.

I used the snake setup on my kettle to smoke before I got the SNS, and have used it in a second kettle that I didn't have a SNS for. Works well. I've never had one done in 10 hours, but then most of my briskets are bigger than the 10 pound one in the article.

What jfmorris said. I have done a number of briskets on my kettle with the SNS and with the snake. They come out great. A 22 inch kettle can easily hold a 15 or 16 pound brisket and with some squishing you could probably go up to 18-20 pounds.

Yes, this works just fine. I can get 3 hours per quarter circle in the kettle. So 12 in total with no refill. I’ve done many briskets in the kettle.

Here is one of the better articles I have come across on how to setup the charcoal snake in a Weber Kettle:

I've done really long cooks where the snake had burned most of the fuel, and I just pulled the grate briefly, or flipped up the edge of the Weber hinged grate, and added more charcoal to the end.

Nice article, thanks! Interesting that it predates the article I mentioned by 3 years. LOL
