Here is the run down gang,,,See im not a Post and Go :)

I rubed both the 8lb pork shoulder down with kosher (Very little), Dark Brown sugar, Paprika, garlic powder, Fresh ground black pepper, and creole seasoning. I then injected some moores into both the brisket and shoulder in about 7 spots... Let them sit overnight

Threw the brisket fat side up, and had my butcher trim some fat off the brisket he cut me, I toothpicked about 4 rolls of fat and positioned them over the brisket foir the first 4 hours of the cook. I also sprayed apple juice before i shut the door.

So i have my brisket, with a pan underneath it to catch the drippings /ajure. Sprayed down with applejuice, And then this big ass pork shoulder sprayed down as well. try under that also.

And my water tray for humidity and smoker tray.

Smoked from 0730 - 1230 - Opened, took the fat rolls off the brisket. Sprayed with applejuice. sprayed my pork but with applejuice... Closed gate

Back on the smoker at 250 to get the smoke flowing (But only for 14minutes) then since those wood chips are cooking again, back at 225..

Total cooking time was 8hours for the pork shoulder @ 225

Cook time was 9 hours for the Brisket

I then put them in a bag, poured the dripping from each individual container that caught them over the meat. and carefully with a cooking rubber glove, packed the pulled port into ziplocks.

I repeated for the fresh cut brisket... They marinated in their ajure and dripping sauce...

Took this to my parents for a family party, and the 8lb pork was almost gone. The beef brisket was insane....i should have cgarged dammit!!

Key for me, bagging them, letting them sit in their dripping sauce...And when i reheated i used 2 crock pots set to medium.. one for beef other for pork...

Boom!
Anytime I can help just Pm me.

Hello everyone!
I'm attempting my first brisket this weekend and I have a fair amount of knowledge in regards to smoking meat in general, with that said I still have some questions for brisket. I have two 6lb points!
I plan on dry brining with salt for about 14 hours. Seasoning and injecting beef broth about 2 hours before I put it on the smoker. 1.5 hours per pound puts me at a 9 hour smoke time for the two 6 pound points and I plan on wrapping them in pink butcher paper when it begins to stall at around 155°F.
Question #1 Should I spray the briskets at all before wrapping since I'm injecting, if so how often?
Question #2 Do I leave the butcher paper on while resting or wrap in foil?
Question #3 At what hour should I start checking the internal temperature for the 6lb points?
Thank you very much for your time!
