Hi guys, this is my first post on the site. Also, I just did my first smoke.
I bought an 8 lb Brisket flat on Sunday thinking 1.5 hours per pound would be plenty (12 hours). I did not trim it at all.
But by hour 12, I was still looking at 150 degrees, and by hour 15, I was at 175, and I had to take it off at that point because it was 1:30 AM.
For the most part, I kept the temperature between 225 and 250, although I ran it a little hotter for the last hour.
The bark really tastes nasty too. Guess I put to much hickory in.
After reading some other posts, I guess I should have wrapped it at some point. Any comments.
