Last Saturday I smoked a brisket overnight for the first time. This was my first brisket on the WSM, 2nd time using my IQ 110 ATC, and first time using my new Maverick ET-733 thermometer. I was a little nervous with the overnight cook as it was in the mid 30's Saturday night, but the WSM had no issues. I started the smoker at 9pm and put the brisket on around 10pm with the ATC set at 235. At around 6:30am my temp was dropping past my low alarm of 215 and I woke up to stir the coals. An hour later the low alarm went off again and this time I added a layer of unlit coals on top. At that time I also wrapped the brisket and increased the temp to 250. At 10am the I.T. hit 195 I took off the smoker, wrapped it in towels and placed it in a cooler to rest. I carved the brisket for Sunday dinner and everyone liked it very much. I was so please how smooth the entire process went and excited because this is why I purchased the WSM. The more I use this smoker the more I fall in love with it. :)

Very nice, Ryan! Congrats on your first over-night brisket cook. Great color & smoke ring. Did you catch the drippings & make a gravy to go with it or did you serve it with BBQ sauce?

Pat, I did not catch any drippings this time, but I should have as I know it makse great gravy. My wife put out the BBQ sauce but everybody said it was juicy enough without it.
 
Congratulations on an excellent job !!! The brisket looks excellent.
A brisket can be fun and sometimes challenging. The results are almost always enjoyable.
