Yeah, I bet you are. Doing some quick math, since you are 3 hours behind, it's 11:45 there and your up at 4 for work which is about 4 hours from now. If you have a cooler, wrap the brisket and put it in cooler. When you wake up, move it from the cooler to the refrigerator.No tomorrow night yea I'm up at 4 am for work I'm going to be so tired tomorrow:-(
Here's a pretty good explanation of what smoke ring is, how it is formed and why electrics don't produce one.
My understanding is that it is darn near impossible to get a smoke ring using an electric smoker. Now, I have exactly zeroooo experience with electrics, so I don know first hand, but that's what I've read here.
Interested my self why that would be. How does the wood know what's firing it up? Ha.
Brisket certainly looks good, give us an update on the overnight adventure! I'm tired just reading this thread!
