Okay, I can safely say I've done over three hundred Briskets in my life time. I've never done one over 260 degrees. So my neighbor brings me by a big O'l Dragon tongue and a 6 pack of Choss triple IPA(11.2%) with a 100+IBU From Figure 8 brewing. So, I build a nice fire in the back yard with my buddy and teach him how to properly trim and prep a brisket over a kind craft brew.
Pretty good job for a first timer
took about 5lbs off. Plan was to soak this in deer blood and use it for coyote bait in the morning.
Now this is were the night gets really foggy. Went back to the fire with with a few more buddy's, cold beer and a plan. Woke up on the couch with the devils blanket,regret,and a wife giving me the (you are an idiot) look. You married guy's know the look. With my head split down the center. I check my watch and it's 9am. Okay, I was suppose to have this thing on by 5am and putting the hurt on some coyotes by 6am. With one of the worst hang overs ever. (yes! I maned up and smashed the whole 6pack) I decided that I've seen enough stick burner guys at comps do them is 6hrs. So am I. Fired the WSM up, washed a Vicodin down with a redbull and vodka and put that brisket on at 300degrees.
About 4 1/2hrs later it was at 170. When I went to wrap it I took the lid off and that thing had zero bark on it. Looked gross. I took it right from the fridge to the cooker. I think it might have been the moisture build up from being wrapped all night. Anywho, it hit 200 2hrs later. Probed for tenderness and it was super tough. 205 still tough, 208 starting to losen.
She finally gave it up. Now, there was a small section towards the bottom of the flat the was super tough. I vented it and sperated. Chucked my burnt ends back on and let them do what they do. Over all, I will definitely do this again. The burnt ends were money and the flat towards the middle was tasty. Definitely needs work. I know enough tips and tricks from the comp scene to master 300-325 cooks. I suggest eveyone try this. It gives your sunday's back.
Done! I told you it looked gross.

. I have just the place. A buddy and I purchase some land a while back and we (we I say we, I mean him) are almost done building a first little"get out of the weather base camp" It should be rockin' by spring. It's not much, you will still need to bring all camping supplies. But I was thinking of inviting a bunch of people out from a few sites to have a good old fashion throw down. PM me anytime if you ever come out this way.
