Boshizzle, you leave that little bit of silverskin on? I have been taking it off, and I think it improves the cook. You also left off a step on your meat there, the fork raking of the meat.

I just can't give up the fat cap.

Mine hit the drum at 630 am 215 degrees , thin blue smoke. At 730 I cranked the heat to about 300. It has been fluctuating between 295 and 325 since then. It sure is spewing a lot of juice , I have a clay saucer as a diffuser and it probably has 1/2" of liquid in it that dripped out of the brisket in only 3 hours. It kind of makes me wish I had used a pan or something on my second grate to collect the drippings.

Yes, that is not a bad idea. Next time.

Does your bark taste good? Dark and flavorful, crispy but not too chewy. You just *know* if you have good bark . . .
