Im starting today with my first Beef Brisket ever, and its been a while coming.  The brisket im using is about 4 1/2 lbs.  Typically when I grill, I make my own rubs, however for this event i wasnt sure to go with.  I chose Weber's Kansas City Style BBQ Rub.  Ive yet to try out this particular rub, but if it is like Weber's reputation, it will be delicious.

I have a Chargriller w/ SFB, and it should only need about 6-7 hours by my calcs, tho really the temp tells the tale.  My grill is actually heating up as we type, and hopefully it reaches a sweet 225ish shortly so i can get this brisket a smoking.  :)
 
the grill is rolling good at 225ish.. i now have it on there..for those who need pics..i have just the thing :)...and sorry if im excited..but i really like grilling and smoking :)

Can't say I heard that one. How big is that Bear? You need big logs to make bears. Even a bear that's only about 7' tall needs a log about 3' in diameter, or he'll be too skinny.

And that's keeping the arms & paws tight against the body, and starting just inside the bark!

its not small..it looks like the size of a real life bear..a young one tho for size comparison..but the piece of wood easily weighed a couple hundred pounds
 
Holy Shhh..........!!!

Those last two pics say it all !!

Just zoom in on those slices!!!   MMMMmmmmm........

Can't believe it's your first one!!

What was the total time in smoker?

Thanks,

Bear
 
it was in there for about 6 1/2 hours..and after i took it out i put it in the pan and covered it with aluminium foil..i left a bit too much fat on there..but it sure was tasty..
