My second Brisket

[norrell6]

Gonna give brisket another go. Last time, I just rub it and threw it on the smoker. Smoked to only 165 and took it off. Now I come armed with much more knowledge. Hopefully I can make an improvement.

Here is a pic of the rubbed (Magic Dust) brisket waiting to go in the smoker.

Here it is after a spritz of Cherry Juice/Spiced Rum. Its been 2.5 hrs. Sorry the picture is so crappy. I took it twice and I guess this is as good as it gets for now.

Here it is a little over 4 hours. Sitting at 157F. Will foil it at 165F. More pics to follow.

Well, I foiled at 165F. I meant to take it to 195F, but the wife wanted to run somewhere. So we left and when we got back, the brisket was at 204F. I pulled it and put in the cooler for about 2.5 hrs. Turned ut very moist and tender. Good flavor and cant wait to make some sandwiches. Here are the final pics starting with the initial foiling.
