Brisket and Sausage

This brisket flat was around 7.5 lbs and took 8.5 hours to cook with the following method. I foiled when it hit 160 and watched the temps every hour. I pulled an placed in cooler when it hit 200.
I feel the foiling prevented a thicker bark and smoke ring. However the meat was excellent.

Looks great, Rick! I can be there in time for late night sandwiches!

Rick, a couple of questions:

What temp was the smoker at?

Is it normal to see liquid pooled up like that? I've never seen that, but then I don't peek very often either.

As for the liquid I used a homemade injection which included beef broth and that was one of the injection sites. The brisket was very moist the juice just poured out when i sliced it.

Thanks

Rick,

When I got all through your pictures, the Kodak Photoshare folks showed me how I could get a coffee mug with one of your photos on it. The example they showed was photo 1 - a big raw meat brisket. It's too late for Valentine's Day, but you might think about getting some raw brisket mugs made for a special occasion. Just an idea.

Yes that is halarious. Everytime I upload a picture album it will show me that. One time it was a giant up close photo of my pork butt on the front of a t-shirt.

LOL

What kind of sausages are those? They look great. How long did you cook them?
