First post, so hopefully im not breaking any rules and I am posting in the right section.
I am the new owner of a LG BGE and my nieghbor across the street is busting my chops about throwing out the cash for this smoker. He says his 21.5" weber can do anything my BGE can do....I beg to differ. So he challenged me to a brisket grill/smoke off this Sunday.
This is not my first cook on the BGE,..so Im semi familiar with stablilizing/ holding temp. But this will be my FIRST attempt at a brisket...which Ive read is a tough meat to cook...
So, im off doing tons of research and ran across this site (love it btw). Looking for some advice from EggHeads that have experience with smoking a Brisket on the BGE.
Here is what i THINK i know so far...
1. How long should I smoke it for?
2. When it says internal temp of 185 degrees shouldnt I pull of at like 175 degrees because the temp will rise about 10-15 degrees while at rest?
3. Am I missing anything?
Thanks for any/all help

Here is what i THINK i know so far...
- I want to smoke the Brisket for a LONG time...12-16 hrs
- Cook/Smoke at 225F as steadily as possible (im using a DigiQ DX2)
- Pull off at internal temp of 185 degrees
- After pulling of...wrap in foil,...wrap in towel and let sit in cooler for 3+hrs
- Cut against the grain
- Hopefully enjoy
