Cooked 1 brisket last weekend - set the temp for 225 and the probe for 190. Use 2 oz of hickory. It took 15:40 to reach temp. Removed it, foiled it for 1/2 hr and served. Didn't slice well, a bit done and a bit dry. For the first try in a new unit, not disappointed.
About to load 3 - 10 Lb choice untrimmed and would like to slice it for the guests.
Any suggestions on amount of wood? Will adding liquid when I foil them cure the dryness? Actually, I was surprised that it was dry - lots of fat remaining when I separated and sliced it.
Mother-in-law's 90th birthday. On the spot for a good Q.
