Did my first brisket on my MB 900 Fri. night. Started the 900 at 7:30 pm, plenty of smoke rolling.
Put brisket in when temp. of 225 was reached. Checked about 11PM and smoke still there but had slowed down some.
At about 1:00 am very little smoke coming out ant brisket has almost no bark. kicked temp up to 275, filled hopper with lump and oak and slept for a little. Checked again at 4 AM and still very little smoke and temp of brisket around 140 ( should have taken notes) Finally at 7:00 temp got to 160 and I wrapped, put in oven at 250 degrees. It got to 205 and was tender so was wrapped in foil and put in cooler with a couple of towels. Served 4 hrs later. Quests thought it was great but I kept mumbling about no bark. Sat. afternoon I started the 900 up again to smoke beans. Same thing happened again-- plenty of smoke for about an hr. then hardly any!!! Where an I going wrong? Only 3 smokes so far and they were great, burgers, reverse sear steak and hot dogs. Quick and easy and had plenty of smoke each time. But the long smoke left something to be desired.
Looking for all the help I can get.
Thanks
