Another my first brisket

[jparrucci]

Well, after a summer of learing how to BBQ, I finally went big and decided to try my first brisket. Bought a 10 pounder from Walmart, used a dry rub and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Set my alarm for 4 am and pulled it from the fridge and let it warm to room temp. It hit the smoker around 6am, and I kept it at 225 until about 1pm. At this time, I covered it in foil, and put it in the oven at 225. I chekeck the temp at this time and I was around 155-160. Checked it again at about 4:30pm, and I was at 180. At around 6:30 pm, it hit 187 and I pulled it as people were getting hungry (me included). Let it sit for about 45 minutes, and then gave it the knife. Turned out great, all were very impressed. I think I would have given it another hour or so personally, since it was very tender, but I think a few degrees warmer and a little more tender would have helped just a tad. Next time I think I will also do some type of injection to add a little flavor to the inside.

It sure looks nice and moist from here. Nice color and ring too.
