I picked up a flat tonight that was only about 2.5 lbs, it's not the biggest but the didn't have many options at the stores I went to, plus this my first brisket.
I figured I would cook around 210- 230 on my kettle with hickory wood.
What would everyone's suggestion be for charcoal? I will be using Kingsford Blue and figured I would use the minion method. I have never used temps that low so I am worried about using too much charcoal to start with. I know I ran 250 with 30 unlit and 8-10 lit on top with ribs, but not sure what do to for less heat. Less unlit? Less lit? less of both?
Any help would be appreciated. I will also be throwing on a very small rack of beef back ribs (my local store didn't have much of a selection).
Any help would be appreciated.
