Title: First PBC Brisket
Post by: MossyMO on May 24, 2017, 08:59:53 PM: Pretty impressed all in all with the hanging method of smoking a packer brisket! About 9 pounds trimmed.

At 201º pulled and cooler rested for an hour.

Very Tasty!

Cook time was 12 hours. Looks forward to hopefully seeing your results!

Post by: mezmoria on May 26, 2017, 10:28:28 AM: I am planning my first PBC brisket this weekend and had a question on timing. Reading forums I see times ranging from 6-14 hours. The PBC video states 4-6 hours. Any idea on why we so much variation in times?

I am trying to figure out if I can start early the day of the event or if I need to cook the day before..

Thank you
Bart

We watched that same PBC video and thought no way 4-6 hrs would cut it. If you have the remote thermometers that you can set alarms to I would start late the night before if it was me. You can easily rest it finished with towels in a cooler for 4 to 6 hrs. If you are doing a full packer brisket I think it will take all of 10 hrs, ours took 12 with an hour of resting time.

Post by: mezmoria on May 26, 2017, 10:29:31 PM: Thanks! I am going to hope for the best and start it Sunday at 5AM to be ready and rested by 5PM.. Making the call based on the fact that I tend to be asleep by 10PM and would not make it up late enough to start it middle of the night.

I will post my cook on Sunday.

Thank you.

Post by: HodyMac on May 29, 2017, 05:12:47 PM: How are y'all getting 10+ hour burn times? Are you adding more charcoal part way through? My PBC starts burning out around 8 hours. Then again, I've been using lump charcoal not briquettes - maybe that’s the difference.
