Today I did my first practice brisket on my new drum. It was about 13.5lbs trimmed and it was done in 12.5 hours at an average temp of 250*.

I got my temp control dialed-in and she rocked +/- 5* all night with zero tending. It was a beautiful thing!

Please excuse the rough garnish. I've been ill today and didn't have the energy to perfect it.

Great looking brisket

Howdy, The brisket looks fantastic, ,did you marinade it or just rub before smoking.
Charlie :-D
 
Very nice work John! It looks very juicy and cooked to perfection.
 
Thanks for all of the very kind words.

I was a little behind the curve and rushed, so I injected and rubbed it barely an hour before it went on. I would have normally done that 5-6 hours before.

All in all, I don't think the final product suffered much, but I did make a mistake by wrapping it bark-side-down while it rested. That took quite a bit of the "pop" out of the bark. Once that happens there isn't really a way to put it back.

As said, that looks great! fill in the front with cut up bark pieces, and you've got quite a turn in box.
