Nine pound brisket

[joeflyde]

First attempt at brisket. Posts here makes it seems soooo good. Decided to forego my traditional turkey smoke. Marinated in Italian dressing for 30hrs, finished w/ salt, pepper, garlic, a few homegrown spices and brown sugar. To smoker @ 3pm EST. Temp currently at 175º. Quickview soon.

FINALLY.....10½ hrs. later, Internal brisket temp 190º. Pulled from smoker. Resting in roastinng pan. Muscalculated the time it would take to cook, so I am about 10hrs early. Was going to make burnt ends sneaked a taste, tasted some mome, tasted again, these will not make it to burnt ends.

Though marinate a bit heavy on the vinegar, brisket very, very tender. Will use my soy, worchester based marinate next time. Looking foward to luunch tomorrrow.
