Its finally done.!!!!! Probe tender and jiggles like hello. I will post pictures when I slice in about an hour. To those o you braver than me who don't wrap. Does unwrapped brisket jiggle when they are done are they just supposed to be probe tender. If this one is as good as the one i did last week my next one might be done with no foil. The only thing I did diff this time was inject about 6 hours before I put it on the smoker and instead of that nasty sauce mop I used last time I spritzed with apple cedar vinegar.

That way the fire burns toward the front of the box. When its time fir more charcoal I have been scooping out the ashes before refilling. Temp gouge has been at a steady 300 to 325. I don't have a digital temp gouge so I am guessing its about 275 285 at grate level.

Glad I could help! One thing I've noticed on my Highland is that once temps have a chance to settle in, usually after about an hour or so, the door thermo is pretty darn close to grate thermo.
I'm cooking a chicken today and these are my 2 thermos at the time of this post..

They are both sitting at 280°

Your cook is looking wonderful so far! Can't wait to see the results.

Results. Sorry for the poor pics. I guess I have dropped my phone a time to many. We made the brisket and our neighbor made Mexican rice and what they call ranch beans. The beans were the best. White beans with cilantro onion jalapeños fatback and assorted seasonings. They said if I cook for them one more time they will give me the recipes. Sorry for the crappy pics in advance!!!

Two things for sure! Next time no injection and no wrap! This one tasted just like the last one but with better smoke taste from the oak wood vs the mesquite wood.

I love Mesquite on steaks and Fajitas. I prefer a mixture of Hickory, oak, and Pecan. We're very fortunate to be in the Country and have access to all the wood I want. I have to basically have firewood for my antique smoker

Way to go Justin! Fine eating.

I too prefer the mesquite for grilling. Smoking I primarily use hickory now (I blame my east Texas roots). Went through an oak phase too. Nothing wrong with that.
