Ran out of room on the FEC100 last night, so I did my 1st brisket on the PG500.
Injected it with Butchers Prime brisket injection at 2:00 went ahead and rubbed it with some Smokin Guns hot rub. Started the smoker up at 8:30pm to let it warm up. The settings were 15/65 with temp setting at 225*.
Put the brisket, a 14lb Creekstone Prime, on at 9:00pm for a over night smoke.
Got up bright and early at 5:00am and checked it, the brisket was at 162*, so I wrapped in double foil with about 1/2 cup of marinate. At 7:00am the brisket hit 190*, so I turned the smoker up to 250*.
Pulled the brisket off when it probed tender at about 7:45am. For all of you that gets caught up in finish temps it was about 205* in the thickest part of the flat.
I gave it 10 minutes of vent time, then a couple hours in the cooler, opened the foil to let the brisket cool enough to slice.
PERFECT! Wish I had taken pics, maybe next time. Hard to beat those Creekstones for taste and texture.
