First time doing a full brisket on my new smoker. Started at 5am, pulled it at 2pm and let it rest for an hour. The bark was perfect and it was so tender. Neighbors came over and the kids actually put their phones down to eat. Honestly this hobby pays for itself in family moments.
Dude that's impressive. 5am start and nailing the timing is no joke. How was the bark? I tried a full brisket last fall and mine came out a little too charred but the taste was still solid.
That's amazing. I've been thinking about getting a smoker but I'm worried it'll be another hobby I start and never finish. How hard is it to dial in the temperature?
I need a smoker setup guide because that sounds amazing. Did you wrap it or go naked the whole time? Asking for myself because I'm tired of boring grilled chicken every weekend.
This is the kind of dad activity I'm here for. Nothing beats smoking meat and having time to just think while you're watching it. Plus everyone eats good at the end of the day.
16lb brisket is legit. How long did the whole thing take from start to finish? And did you do the wrapped method or let it ride naked the whole time?

Pulled at 2pm means you got some solid rest time in there. Did you hit the stall? That's always where I lose my patience and start cranking the heat.
