• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Today I cooked up the 11 lb brisket that I picked up the other week at Costco.

I used a rub from a local store here called The Spice Outlet. I used Napa Valley Beef Rub. It appears to be a mix of Sea Salt Pepper and Paprika.

I ran between 270-300 the entire cook then wrapped in butcher paper. It took about 1:30 hours after the wrap to probe tender. Letting it sit on the counter filling the house with good smells was so hard.

I trimmed this brisket much better than the first one I did on my old UDS. Practice makes better. The first 2 photos is of the trimmed brisket with the Rub applied.

The next 2 photos shows how you use a roast rack to make an oversized brisket fit within 16 inches.

The last 4 are the money shots.

Nice work! Saw that small shelf and thought he's got to be rocking the mighty mini. How long did it take you overall? When I did my first packer on the Std I was probe tender in about 8.5 hours no wrap cooking about 260-275. I was stunned. These 270s can bring it!
 
It took just under 6 hours on the smoker and a 2 hour rest on the counter
 
Nice brisket...I sure would have liked to seen it cooking on the 270. I just love that smoker for some reason.
 
Thank you everyone. I used cherry for the smoke as I must have ran out of my hickory.

Looks like you got that 270 dialed in perfect, looking at your results. What size 270 are you using and could you comment on your burntime with a full load of fuel? I am considering either the standard or the sumo. Just havent made the decision as of yet.

Nice brisket! No pics of it in the cooker?
