So the Brisket day came at last ..

Took delivery of a +3kg point and flat from Tuner and George on Friday, was very happy with the quality of meat.
Didn't require much trimming, I just removed any hard fat trying to leave 1/4 inch as recommended in many places.

Made up a quick rub of Black Pepper ...

Hi

I didn't split my cuts but I wrapped the brisket at the stall, pulled it 203 deg f and let it sit in foil and towels in a cooler for three hours. It was fantastic. I did burnt ends the next night which were great, although I did have to drink about three pints of water in the night.

I've done my fair share of reading up and I'm feeling ready to give this challenge a go.

There are a few points I was hoping people ...

Just a cleaner way of introducing water into the cookspace really. I don't usually bother with water on the WSM, I sometimes add water when roasting on my mastertouch but only a small amount in the drip pan ...

I'm planning on having another go this weekend. Mrs has already warned me that not all meals are to be cooked in smoker.

Thanks sleepybones,

I finally worked it out, I had the water bowl filled 3/4 full and this was keeping the temp down.
As soon as I emptied it and left it dry the temp shot up to 175c :D

I ran it empty a couple of times to season it and have since used it to cook some chickens, which came out ...
