BGE Brisket...High Heat...Play-By-Play...(Pic Heavy)

[JD McGee]

Good morning Brethren...I got a H/H BGE smoke goin' on this mornin' so I thought I'd share the process with you...

About a 12-14 lb packer (close trimmed) and rubbed up with a 50/50 mix of Dizzy Pig "Cowlick" and Brownulated Sugar (granulated brown sugar).

Fired up the BGE with a full load of Wicked Good "Weekend Warrior" and a two big chunks of Hickory and Oak...

My target temps are 325-350 dome...the brisket was tossed on just after I fired it up...so...lots of smoke here...

Stay tuned for updates during the smoke...

Can't wait for more pictures on this one..... I have a feeling you will be pleased. You might want to consider a heat shield mod to protect those ends....

Are you reading my mind again? :shock: 2 hours into the smoke...gave it a flip and a turn then foiled the flat end (shoulda done it sooner though...it got a bit charred)...:becky: I also added another shield to the point end...thanks Wayne!

Flat temp was 160ish...point 140ish...see you in about an hour...
