Default Got my smoke on, brisket in progress (with pron)

Got my smoke on. Put a 13.5 pound brisket on early this morning, along with a 3 pound hunk of deckle. Dry rubbed with my mix of equal amounts of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, with just a little bit of cayenne. Smoking with Royal Oak hardwood lump charcoal and oak, hickory and pear for flavor (I usually use apple, but I didn’t realize that I’m all out of apple wood). I've got my temp fixed at around 220-225. I also put two homemade sausages on about 40 minutes ago just to tide me over for a bit. Here is some pron:

Brisket done. Sorry the pics aren't so great, I'll try to take some better pics later. I also made my own BBQ sauce: 14 oz ketchup, 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup worcestershire sauce, 1 ounce yellow mustard, 1 ounce fresh lemon juice, 3 tablespoons paprika, healthy 1/4 cup ancho chile powder, healthy teaspoon hot pepper flakes, 1 healthy teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, a tiny little bit of mollases (roughly a teaspoon), healthy 1/3 cup of brisket drippings and 3 cups of water; brought to boil; then reduced over strong simmer until thick and rich. Here are some food pics:

Very tasty and super juicy -- but not as strong a smoke flavor as I generally like and usually get out of my rig. This is my first smoke of the season (been four months since my last brisket), so I must have done something wrong. Everyone seemed happy and I had zero leftovers, so I guess all's well that ends well. I'll have to smoke another one for Sunday. ;-) Just as well, as it'll give me another chance increase the smoke quotient.
