Prepping my first brisket - Pr0n to come!
Prepping for my first brisket cook. I picked up an 8 pound packer from the locker back home when I was down for Christmas. I'm going to cook it tomorrow for supper, shooting for roughly a 6 PM eating time. I'm planning on running the WSM at 250-275. What can I expect for an average cook time per pound? I've dug up some old threads and see a range from an hour to an hour and 1/2 per pound.
I know it'll be done when its done and probes like butter but just trying to figure out when to fire the pit. I'd like a couple hour rest time and haven't decided if I should foil, wrap in butchers paper or just run naked the whole time. I never wrap my butts so I'm tempted to try the naked route. My initial thoughts are to fire the pit at 5:15AM, it'll be ready for the meat to go on by 6AM, 10 hours of cook time would leave me 2 hours to rest before slicing at 6PM. Thoughts?

It those temps it will be closer to an hour per pound, but plan extra time just in case. You can hold it in a cooler for hours if needed.

Here are a few shots of the progress so far...
Seasoned up and ready for the pit Kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper and some granulated garlic 2 hour mark - it's a bit chilly out this morning It was 14 degrees this morning when I fired the WSM up, she has been puring along at 260-270 for the last 2 1/2 hours. I have decided to run this one naked all the way through, no foil or butchers paper as I had initially thought I might do. Well it's time to go fry up some homemade bacon and eggs, more pr0n to come!

Don't forget the stall. It'll sit at 160-170 for a while. We look forward to the finale!

One more update...
Homemade bacon from this morning Fixings for beans (that's a bit of Roxy's BBQ sauce in the mason jar that I made up last night) And since I had the pit open to add the beans I took another shot of the brisket It's sitting at 180 right now so we are closing in on the finish line.
