    My best Brisket ever!

    So I changed a few things, normally I run my Brisket up to 200 degrees.  This one I held at 185, but I smoked it for 8 hours in my MES, keep it in there for another 8 hours, and then pulled it from the MES.  I transferred it to a foil pan, and place foil over the top.  I placed it in my oven and...
