I did a full packer this past weekend. 12.5 lbs. Smoked for 19 hours using Royal Oak briquettes and 3 oak chunks - Brinkmann H2O pan 2 top offs. Temp never rose above 230. Avg. grate about 205.
Removed when probe went in like butter (185). Wrapped in foil and held for 2 hours in a cooler.
The brisket had a good smoke ring and great flavor. Texture on the first bite was really good, but it turned mealy or grainy after that.
Has anybody else encountered this? Any ideas what could have caused it?
