First brisket, wildcat style Q-view

[richoso1]

Sounds like a plan... but will it still turn out tender? I've always felt that low & slow will tendderize some cuts of meat. Good luck my friend.

Thanks. It did turn out tender, but it was a hair dry. I'm sure that a little finishing sauce would have helped (I might still fix some up).

As it turned out, it was still a 12 hour cooktime. I wouldn't try to go the whole way in the Weber again though. It's too much fiddling. I'd probably do what I did with my pork butt and finish it off in the electric smoker. I'd probably just replenish the fire a couple of times and then move it over at about the 7 hour mark. By then, it would have plenty of smoke, plus, I could still keep some smoke on it.

But, as I said, I learned alot about how the Weber works and a bit about the temperature fluctuations. It was fun.

Very nice brisket you have there, your time lapsed post has given me more confidence about smoking my first brisket tomorrow. Enjoy, and thanks.
