Thanks for the responses. I bought the brisket at BJ's and the packer was Excel. Other than that I don't know whether it was choice or select. Price was $2.99/lb. Brisket was on the bottom grate and temp was meaured at the grate. The brisket was well trimmed and not much in the way of fat on...

Smoked my first brisket last night but I'm not quite sure if it turned out ok. Having never had brisket before, I don't know how it's supposed to turn out when cooked correctly. Mine was a little under 4 lbs (precooked) and cooked for a little over 8 hrs at around 240*. I pulled it when the meat...

I should also add that I was cooking on the bottom grate with a full water pan. Cooker probe was on the bottom grate as well.

Bob - I used a Maverick ET-73. Tested meat probe in boiling water and smoker probe in the oven this morning and both were right on.

Thanks for the support. I'd like to finish it in the Weber. The Maverick works like a charm and the signal reaches the bedroom. Got the min and max settings so I'll see everyone in the morning.

Doing my first tonight, a 5 lb butt Put it on at 1:00PM and it's now 11:45PM. The butt's been stuck at 179 degrees for 4 hrs now and the Weber hasn't been below 240. I neet to get up to 195 for pulled but it doesn't look like I'm going to get there anytime soon. According to the 2 lb per hour...
