With Summer officially ending Saturday and temps in my area projected to hit 90*, I am going to have one last cookout before closing the pool. I would like to do an overnight smoke tonight. I may do a butt, but I am getting a little burnt out on butts. I have never done a brisket. Should I just make it easy on myself and throw some chickens on the kettle tomorrow?
One Last HOORAH for the Summer

Jeff,
Take the leap and go for it! For me a brisket is real similiar to a butt as for as cooking temps and time. If you can do a butt you can do a brisket. I normally cook the flats only which Wal-mart carries and have done a brikset on the bottom with 2 butts on top many times. Turns out great everytime. Then the chicken on the kettle can be lunch tomorrow while the brikset finishes and is holding. While your at it throw a fattie on with the chicken for snacks.

I say go for it. Overnight Briskets are not really any tougher than butts. I actually do more Briskets that I have done Butts.

What exactly is a fatty and how do you make them?

A "fatty is a 1 pound mini "chub" of breakfast sausage like Jimmy Deans.

What a perfect smoking day! I did a high temp smoke and everything was perfect. I relly got into it today. Wish I had taken some pictures, but I was far too busy! This is what I ended up with in 6 hours:
* 1 4lb brisket
* 1 fattie
* 1 pork tenderloin
* 2 6lb chicken
* 1 killer pan of mac and cheese
What a great time!
