On Friday I started my third cook on the WSCG, this time it was a 17# full brisket. I used Oakridge Black Ops brisket rub (which was phenomenally good).

First, it couldn't be easier to set up the DigiQ, and I love how you can just leave the adapter hooked up with the kill plug in and use it with out the DigiQ. The DidgiQ worked well, but it overshot the set temperature (225f) by about 40 f to begin with and it took me ratcheting back on the top damper to bring it down to 225f. It took about 20 min to get back to the set temp.

After it cooked for 15 hours this is how it looked

Because I did the cook overnight, I was comforted to know I had the DidgiQ, but in all honesty, except for overnight cooks, I don't think I will use my DidgiQ on this cooker. You see, I found it almost easier to dial in a set temperature and maintain that temp without the ATC.

Oh, and that 15 hour cook, might have consumed 1/3 a bag of kingsford coal. This is a very efficient cooker!

Here is the finished product.

I love the bark. Looks like you did the full cook in that foil pan did you foil the top at any time. I have been thinking of trying a cook in a foil pan, for some reason I always gravitate to on the grate cooking.
 
Thanks! Yes, I did cover the pan with foil, when it hit the stall around 170f.

Go with the pan, so much easier to keep clean. It's the technique that Myron Mixon says he uses (in his books). I figure if it works for him, it will work for me.
 
Wonderful looking Brisket my friend! I can't get enough of these cooks you guys do on your WSCG's.
I can only dream.
