I bought a 14lb Costco Prime packer and figured I would give it a shot. I put it on last night about 9pm. I got up a few times to check and it was running a little hotter than I wanted. Most of the cook was up in the 280 range but I wrapped it when IT was mid 160s and took it off this morning after about 8.5 hours. I rested it in cooler for 4 hours and now I am slowly reheating for lunch. The taste test as I sliced it was pretty awesome. I am pretty happy with it for my first one. I definitely could use some practice on trimming and slicing.


Side note, tried the weber charcoal for first time and its still running around 225 out there after 15+ hours. Super impressed with that charcoal!

Andy, that looks great! Looks very juicy. Did you get good bark, too? Might be the pictures, but that's a lot less dark than any of my briskets have ever been (mine look like meteorites. What did you rub it with?

Nice job on your first brisky!

The bark was definitely a little less than I was expecting. I only used S & P. There was one small spot of pooling on the top since I had to kind of wedge it to fit on the 18. Next time I will put some wood chunks under that I have ready about to help with that. I may have wrapped it a little early since that is when I happened to wake up at 2am and it by temp it seemed time. Definitely a learning experience!
