I got up at 2:30 am to get up and running for today's smoke.
Were having our July 4th cook a day early.
On the menu:
2 briskets 16lb and a 13lb
2 smoked apple pies
Full pan of baked beans
I will update as the day goes on.

Lit the offset at 2:50


2 brisket packers


16lber trimmed with a base coat of rub on.


We're off and running @ 273...I never used this brand of brisket before. "New supplier" Interested in how fast they cook....Stay tune for updates.

Looks good.  Can I ask why butcher paper instead of foil?  I'm new so I've never heard or thought of using butcher paper.

I like using butcher paper because I think it helps retain some moisture and still lets the brisket breathe. Which helps keep the bark from getting mushy.

Al thank you!!

Pie 1 going on at noon. For approximately 1 1/2 hours @ 300
 
Man that pie looks good.  So how long was the cook, can what IT temp did you pull it at?  By the posting timeline looks like 11:30 hours at 273?  Looks great though.
