Hanging a Brisket

[fedex]

I've hanging ribs lately in my WSM and a couple Tri Tip with pretty good results. Just wondering if anyone here has tried a Brisket?

That's a fine question, but don't forget left-side brisket vs right... you have to match to airflow direction for the hemisphere that you're cooking in.

I've hung a few briskets, it's my preferred way to cook them in the drum, if the brisket's size allows for it. Even in the Hunsaker it has to be a fairly small brisket, probably no more than 13lbs to start and even then I might have to take an inch or two off the flat.

I've hung them a few times. I also double hooked them and hung them until the stall. Then I wrapped in foil or paper and finished it on the grate.

I've never hung meat but the idea scares me. What keeps the meat from falling off? Checking before it's overcooked? Sometimes my stuff falls apart if I'm taking off the smoker.
