Here is the stripped down half plate. 2 hours smoke--1 hour crutch--15 minute sear and sauce. This half plate was slightly dry even with much mopping. I would drop it to a 205 degree cook and keep everything else the same. Maybe a little salty but for taking a brisket rub and mop and trying to punch it up I am happy. I wouldn't call this half a 10 but it certainly wasn't a fail.
When the meaty half is done the pron will come....

I would love to gnaw on one of those right about now.

I've never had bison - how does this compare to beef as far as taste, texture, etc. are concerned?

Come on over! I drink regular Bud!!

Finer grain than beef. Taste is very similar. Very silky bite. There is no "that's a little gamey". Definitely a leaner meat. Don't be afraid of an oil based mop and use oil as a pre rub rather than say a mustard slather. I got more shrinkage than I expected but without the dryness. I would run closer to 200 than 240 next time----and there will be a next time after this. I still have some learning to do but am quite pleased for a first attempt at the great American meat beast......

Absolutely AWESOME! I eat about 9 buffalos to every cow out here as it's easy to find, but I have never seen buffalo ribs! I am going to have to call Olivers in the city and see if I can get some of these. Now I know who'll I'll be asking for cooking advice! Thanks for tutorial man!

....and here is the half plate I left pretty much intact. 2 hours smoke--2 hours wrapped--20 minutes to sauce and sear. I am still amazed at the amount of shrinkage but they still came out quite moist and tender. These puppies are so rich. I am glad I saw that cucumber at the store and had the wife whip up a pickled cuke salad to counter the heavy meat. This was my first time smoking buff rather than just grilling. I have a short list of changes for the next time but am more than ready to do this cut again. The appearance/plating obviously needs some work but that wasn't high on my priority list.
I want to thank everyone for the encouragement. I actually lost sleep last night over this cook. Never again to fear the beast!!!!

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. Like I said, I will lower my temp to around 205-210 next time but other than that I was pretty pleased with the outcome. I used oak for an hour and a half then hickory for the last half hour of smoke. I really liked the profile that combo gave.

Hmmm I wonder how much a buff brisket weighs? On to the next cook boys.......

Look tasty!

Interested in the pickled cucumber salad...care to share the recipe? Wife loves cucumber but I'm not much of a fan of raw cucumbers. A pickled cucumber sald might be a good compromise. ;)

There are many variations, this recipe is pretty typical

I keep it real simple. Sliced cuke and added balsamic and Italian dressing to taste. DUBBAGA's posted recipe sounds tasty too.
