First Packer Brisket

[SGibb]

Smoked my first packer brisket on my 18” WSM this weekend. I used Kingsford regular charcoal and post oak wood chunks, target temperature of the pit was 275.

I picked up a 18lb prime brisket from Costco, after trimming it came to around 14lbs.

I put it on just before 4am, wrapped it in butchers paper after about 6 cooked for a total of 14 hours, then rested it in dry cooler for 1.5 hours.

Barely squeezed it on there


Just before wrapping










Very happy with the results.

You inspire me to do one very soon. It’s been awhile since I did one with meat prices soaring but glad to see them coming back down. Great job!!!
