All,

Yesterday I did a small 5 lb brisket flat. I started with a little EVOO and used Oakridge compitition beef and pork rub. I stoked up the WSCG to 250 where she sat for the cook.

After 7 hours, this is how it looked.

Cutting into it, this is how it looked.

All in all I was pleased, the bark was good, the tenderness was spot on. I prefer Oakridge black ops flavor, but the compitition beef and pork rub was good.

The only disappointment was lack of smoke ring and the mesquite flavor I was trying to impart. I will have to work on wood chunk placement next time.

Thanks for looking.
 
Looks delicious! Great cook.

For more mesquite flavor in the future, try putting the brisket directly on the grate, instead of in a pan. The pan is a great way to keep things clean, but it only lets half the meat get exposed to the smoke.
 
Always cool to see the WSGC in action. Wish I could reach into my screen and grab one of those tasty slices from your carving photo!
