Looks great.

Is that BBQ sauce for the brisket?
 
Sure is. I do about half with sauce and half without!

I was surprised at the sweet bark on the brisket using only S&P, the caramelized bark had lots of great flavor.
 
Hi SmokinQ, did my first Brisket today, took advice from a different site and pulled at 190 as advised, meat was still tough!

Will leave next time until 200.

After I took it out of the smoker at 200, I kept it wrapped and placed in a cooler for an hour. Hope yours is more tender next time. 
 
Sauce is a condiment to be used to cover foul tasting BBQ , the Smoke should complement the Meat

Yes, S / CBP , only...
I think there are about 300 years worth of pretty good cooks all over the world who might vehemently argue that point. Sauce can compliment the best BBQ and bring a whole other dimension to the experience. Granted, there are instances where I don't think it's needed, but that's me. The person sharing the meal with me might feel completely differently. I like to make people feel relaxed and comfortable when they're eating my food, not like they have to follow some hard and fast set of rules about what they can and can't put on it.
 
Looks good to me. Cookshack makes a fine unit. At 5 bucks a pound here I'm hesitant to do a whole one at close to 50 bucks each. Sauce on the side is always a good option...Willie
