HH brisket

[DavidD]

I cooked my 3rd brisket this weekend. a friend purchased a 12lb'er from sam for $2.48/lb and asked me to cook it. I put it on the 22 kettle vs. the wsm given the size. I had a hard time getting the temps up to 350 or even 325 for that matter but part o fit was related to having one top lid vent plugged with foil/thermometer. Once i cracked the lid, the temp came up. At 2 hrs, tip was 171, foiled and cooked for another 2 hrs and internal temp at fat end reached 210. Then, another 30 min to firm up meat out of foil, so 4.5 hrs total. I hammered it pretty good for the 1st 2hrs w/ apple and hickory. It turned out fantastic. thanks for the HH recipe and tips on this site.

Glad that worked out for you! I'll never go back to low heat for brisket.
