I like mine med rare, what type of smoker are you using.
 
130' - 140' for rare at the most.
 
I smoke mine at 180 over night and turn up the temp to about 250 when I wake and pull mine at 140 and wrap in foil. I used to cook them on my wood BBQ with the adjustable grate using only oak but them come out great on the smoker too.
 
Thanks Ron

for your help. I really appreciate it.
 
130-140 degrees internal will yield medium rare to medium. For rare you want the internal temp to be 120-125 degrees. I take mine to right about five degrees less, foil and rest for at least 15 minutes. The internal temp will continue to rise to the target temperature.

Your Brinkmann should operate at about 250 degrees so make sure your thermometer batteries are good and keep an eye on it. If it isn't too big it will hit rare between one and two hours, medium rare in two to three and medium just under three and a half hours.
 
I take mine if I could get them but I would take it to 135-145 or so and thats the way we roll in Fla.
 
You got all the info you need but remeber this...with out pics it never happened
