Hello All,
I am getting ready to make my first brisket in my MES 40. I need some help on doing this though.. 1) how do i trim, prepare, season the meat? Should i inject? Just rub? Cut all fat off or just some? leave whole or do i cut the end of for burnt ends that i hear about(And look so good)? What is the best wood to use? How long should it take(prob about 9lbs)? Smoke the whole time or just some of the time? What temp am i looking for internally to know it is done? Can i smoke it in a pan to keep the juices to pour over when cut? How do i get the best bark with an electric smoker? Water or no water in the water pan? Should i mop it or just let it cook? and most importantly , what temp should i smoke it at? I have seen some amazing briskets on these forums, so i am hoping to be able to do that as well.
Thanks,
Dave
