High Heat Brisket - First attempt with pron of course.

In my experience with a whole packer @ 270 you're still looking at around a pound an hour, maybe a bit less depending on all the other factors. I still kind of consider 270 in the low and slow range. This is referring to a WSM with water, 270 measured at the grate (290 dome??)

I've also noticed that the more marbled "premium" type briskets have a much lower cook time.
 
I cook at 275 for my low and slow brisket. Hour per pound is a pretty good average.
 
Hey bro...just caught up with your thread...I'm not seing ANYTHING wrong with your smoke ring...it looks great! :p Nice job! If anything you might want to foil @ 165-170...then start probing after an hour or so until it's like buttah. The temps seem fine to me...I was actually hitting 365 ish at the time of foiling.
