First Brisket Ever

[jeffsee]

Well, after a delay in posting, I am back with my first brisket. To start with, I have picks of the rubbed brisket, just before I put it on the smoker.

Made a Cider/beer/coffee mop. Interested in seeing what kind of flavor I find.

I'll have a quick pic at the next mop. Then you'll have to wait until it's done.

Here is the finished product:

Pulled it at 185.

Probably could have/should have gone another hour.

It was just a 3 pounder.

It WAS tender, but had room for more.

Biggest compliment from the wife was that it wasn't too smokey.

Wife not happy with the taste of the meat itself (not the rub, etc). She asked if I would try a rump roast, instead. I told her chuck would be a better option.
