Brisket p*rn UPDATED

Although hot out, there isnt a cloud in the sky, and very little breeze...perfect weather for a smoke!
I'm 4 hours into my 6 pounder, and bored, so I figured I'd get some pics up to share.

Brisket BS (Before Smoke)

My Smokin setup, including gaurd dog (she only hangs around for scraps)

Temps are incredibly stable, figure the heat and lack of wind...or the way the planets are aligned today. Notice the minimal temp variation between the left and right sides...I owe that to the mods found here:

I threw some salmon on for the helluvit. This is hour 4:

I'll get some post-smoke pics up in another few hours Smile

Hopefully more soon...temp stagnated at 156 for the past 1.5 hours. Just started creeping up again (now @ 158). I gotta learn patience (though I haven't peeked on this one yet)

Done and eaten Very Happy

This one wasnt as tender as the last one (last one was pulled-pork tender), but I got many more compliments, including that they preferred this one. I did add more cayenne and chili powder to this rub, so it had decent heat to it.
Brought it to 190 in smoker, unwrapped (cooked fat-up), then triple-wrapped in foil for two hours (final temp was 178)
And yes, I know I need more practice cutting them, but I was hungry!

Real nice job on the brisket and nice set-up you have there.

Not to many Pa boys on the Ring that I see, any BBQ events down your way this summer?
