HI everyone, I've decided to jump in head first and smoke a 14 pound brisket in my modded ECB charcoal smoker. I'm approaching zero hour on and have decided on a last minute change of plan.
I've decided to use Royal Oak charcoal vs kingsford, because well everyone says to lol. If I use Royal Oak, do I need to add additional oak lumps for smoke, or will the charcoal do enough on it's own? How much and how often to do I add wood (if I do) and is it right I should stop adding at about the half way point?
My other question is about wrapping in foil at the 150 degree mark, through the stall. Some people swear by this method, some people say they will never do it again, but neither will tell the reasons why lol. Should I wrap? What's the advantages vs. disadvantages?
Thanks for any input, advice, or warnings you can offer. I will be sure to take some pics to share of my trials and hopefully success!
