Hello All,
Had day off yesterday -- decided to try my 1st brisket.
Rubbed it with Dog Day Spice rub (3 KnuckleHead)
Here it is after it reached 165

And then pulled it off PBC at 200 (PBC was fading fast)

Came out pretty well.

The brisket looks really really good with a deep smoke ring.
Question: You stated that the PBC was fading fast. How big was the brisket and how long was it on the PBC?
Keep Cook'n ! 8) 8)

Thank you all for the nice comments.
@Chief Mac, I think it was around a 6# flat.
I put it on 2 9:00 AM and took it off when it hit 200 at about 4:30 or so.
I had the lid cracked but could not get PBC above say 210 or so.
One of the best purchases I have made (since PBC) was the Thermoworks Dot thermometer. I go the probe I can leave in the pit and one in the meat and then just plug in one or the other. Very handy.
Thanks again to all who commented.

Looks awfully good from here, but would surely look better sitting on a plate right in front of me!

If that is your first brisket...You are off to a great start! Nice job.
-
nice cook cg!!! it looks pretty good but i bet you were getting anxious when that temp didn't rise! did you try stoking the coal during the cook?
-
Great job and very good first try on a brisket.
-
Doesn't look like your first try!
Knock out job on it!

Thanks to all for the nice comments.
@viscera912. Not sure what you mean by sticking the coals. I did crack the lid towards the end to try to get the temp of the pit up. But I that point I figured my fire had about run its course.
The fire had settled in in the 280 - 310 range for a good 6.5 hours or so. Then I did notice temps slowly declining
Thank you all again for taking the time to comment
