Put a 15.5 pound whole packer on last night around 11:30pm. After I was comfortable with the temperature on the wsm I went to bed and let it cook.
trimmed, rubbed and straight on to the wsm out of the fridge

Pulled after 14 hours, no wrapping

Burnt ends back on the wsm

Brisket sliced

one of my plates

Sorry, no picture of the Alka Seltzer that I drank.
The brisket was very good and even though it was a select cut everyone said it was better than my last one which they all had raved about and it was a prime whole packer. Go figure. The only thing I did different this time was to not apply as much rub as the last one. I think it was very good as well even though it didn't have a smoke ring...I don't know why.
