This morning I picked up a 16 pound Brisket for $2.27 a pound at a local cash and carry store.
I mixed some Plum wood from a tree I have with the Kingsford briquets.
Now I just have to wait :thumb:

Looks like a tight fit. Did you just kind of tuck it in there or trim it up a little more?
 
That's a fine lookin piece of meat...ok I'll say it before someone else does...that's what she said.

Keep us posted..would love to hear any tips you may have afterwards..I have not done a brisky yet.

I was gonna trim it, but I just tucked it in a little to get the lid on
 
That is why I got the 22.5". I wanted my briskies and ribs to lay flat without issue.

Great looking brisket - can't wait to see the finished images.
 
Here is the meat 6 hours in, I am really liking the WSM

Looks great, but after 6 hours, I'd think the bark would be a little more set. Might want to check those cooking temps, seems low to me.
