Sunday cooking project - smoked a brisket

Decided to finally try smoking a brisket after watching like 20 youtube videos. Put it on the pellet grill at 6am, wrapped it in foil around hour 6, pulled it off around 4pm. Let it rest for 20 minutes and sliced it up. Honestly it turned out way better than I expected. The bark was crispy, meat was tender, family went nuts. Definitely doing this again. Cost about 25 bucks for the meat so pretty reasonable.

That's awesome man, the foil wrap at hour 6 is the move. I've been meaning to try smoking brisket myself but with the twins I barely have time to plan that far ahead, haha. Would love to hear how it turned out!

Dude, 20 YouTube videos sounds about right for brisket prep. Did you let it rest after you pulled it off? That's what I always hear makes the difference. Curious if your pellet grill handled it well!

How'd it turn out? I've been thinking about trying smoking too but keep chickening out.

Nice work getting after it! That's awesome you finally took the plunge. I'm still in the YouTube phase myself. Did you wrap it or go naked the whole time?

Oh man, pellet smoker is the way to go. I did the same thing with YouTube university last year. How long did you end up running it? Those briskets can take forever but man when you nail it the first time it feels amazing.
