Brisket is in the WSM. Wish me luck! :)

Yeah a reduction of 50% is normal from the original weight not the trimmed weight because of excessive Fat

50% fat is a bit much. I'd expect about 30% trim if it's a good marbled bit of meat. Depends on how much you like to cut off I guess.

Good luck. I did a turner and George packer last weekend and it didn't come out how I wanted.
Where did you get the meat from and what temps are you running at?

I got the meat from Pettit my local butcher. I set the WSM up to run at 250f.

Can I ask where you got your probe clip from? Hope the cook goes well.

The probe clip came with my ET-733.

The cook turned out ok. It wasn't quite as tender as the brisket I had at a smoke house in Canada a few weeks back but, having said that, it cut and ate well and tasted great.

I've got a 733 now and 2 clips. Thanks.

Canadian meat is probably much fattier and more marbled than ours if it's like USDA stuff.
