UDS Brisket How-to?

[Captain Dave]

What is the consensus on brisket on the uds? Mop or don't mop? Flip or don't flip? Smoker temp 220 or 240? Done at 180 or 195? When in doubt consult the experienced, not the "experts". :lol:

hmm and no foiling?

I am no T.V. star like Mista, so his advice may be the way to go, but when it comes to brisket I keep it simple...salt and pepper for rub low and slow for heat with fat cap up, I also use a water pan in my drum..

 

[Bevo]

Oh, I forgot and no foiling!!:-D

Mop if you feel like it.

An easy approach is to let the cooker settle in on the temp.

I'm a flipper, when it looks or sounds like it needs to be flipped.

Start checking for tenderness somewheres above 188°.

Mista isn't the only one in the UDS/Brisket Vid biz.

Just got done smoking first brisket. Came out good (see pic), but also a little dry. Cooked at 250-275 and used a water bath. Think the cause was too many pokes w/ the thermo?

 

[Bbq Bubba]

A UDS with a water bath is about useless. Theres so much moisture in a drum already.
